Great Finale for a Superb Trilogy

Rating: 8/10 (6 November 2003)

Ok, let me start off by saying that this is th least impressive of the three movies in the trilogy. Putting that aside, it is still a great movie, and I'm happy with the outcome. This movie didn't have all of the psychology that the first two movies had, but you have to remember that this really is the same movie as the second one. So, where Reloaded had a lot of the build up to the action, this one has all of the action. Many people might find this movie to be a bummer, because of the end. However, if you are intelligent enough to realize that the Matrix draws a lot of comparisons to Christian theology, and that Neo parrallels Jesus, then the end isn't that much of a suprise.
The huge Zion battle scene was one of the most awe inspiring things I have ever witnessed in a movie. When all the sentinels finally break into Zion I just sat there with my mouth wide open saying "Wow." It was an awesome thing to look at. Also, the fight scene with Neo and Agent Smith was absolutely incredible.
There were only a couple of problems that I had with the movie. First, I did wish there was a little more of the story that actually took place inside the Matrix. It was very little in this movie. Also, at times, I felt the Zion set looked a little cheap or cheasy. It didnt' bother me that much.
In the long run while this is the weakest in the trilogy, it was still great. I feel it finished the story the only way that it really could. A must see. 8 stars out of 10.
