What has a (good) beginning, must have a (dire) end.

Rating: 6/10 (5 November 2003)

The final installment of the Matrix Trilogy leaves the audience not knowing whether to cry with laughter at the ham fisted acting or to just simply walk out, judging that spending their time doing something more appropriate or worthwhile is more appealing. I am a huge fan of the original Matrix film, but am left feeling almost embarrassed that the (obviously talented) Wachowski Brothers felt the need to decend into such claptrap as I was witness to today. The story - what there is of it - is minimal, with the usual eye candy of CGI wizardry being implemented to cover up for the feeble dialogue and cheesey one liners. Dont get me wrong, the special effects are quite simply amazing, but these do not and shall never make a good film. The 'w' brothers could have done so much, for so many, and yet managed to do so little.
