Not only does "Revolutions" fail to answer all the questions, it creates more.

Rating: 4/10 (9 November 2003)

The more I think about it, the more "Revolutions" was horrible. I am a fan of the original Matrix, and was dismayed with the release of the second, but revolutions was bleh. I saw it a few days ago to understand my feelings.
Revolutions has failed in a few ways, here is (in my opinion) what went wrong:
1) Reloaded and Revolutions written and filmed at the same time. Without time in between the two movies, you can lose track of where exactly you want to take the movie, and you miss out on others opinions about the movie, and if the last one is already filmed, then you might not make a movie how everyone wants. Too many times did I sit there rolling my eyes going, "uhg, what the hell is this crap?"
2) Didn't answer anything! I'm sorry, but if I have to be a philosophy major to understand the movie, then screw you. Perhaps there were no clear-cut answers because the Wickowski brothers themselves didn't know what to say... and have "peace" with the machines, and allude to Christianity.
3) No Guns and Morpheous was a wuss. In the first Matrix there were hella guns, killing and blood. I don't care if this is "cool" or not, but stupid trench-coat mafia dorks had to ruin the tone of the rest of the matrix's by "toning down" this sort of thing. And I don't know what happened, but after Morepheous was "proven wrong" he just disappeared, he was in Revolutions for like 5 minutes.
4) Sold out. From the ridiculous overuse of GM vehicles in Reloaded to the blatant PowerAde ads in the subway, The Matrix has sold out. You may not want to believe it, but they have. This was most evident to me in the evolution of music through the movies. First Matrix, they were actual songs by bands, Reloaded was all orchestral music, with Rage Against the Machine for the end credits, and ALL orchestral music in Revolutions, AND NO RAGE! The redemption factor for Revolutions (for me) was to see what Rage song they used for the end credits... low and behold, NO RATM! I walked out very sad indeed.
Revolutions doesn't not answer any questions it claimed to answer. It creates more philosophical questions without explaining those as well. Little use of "the matrix" in a Matrix movie was blasphemous... but then again the whole movie was as well.
I give Revolutions a 4 out of 10.
