Battle Bots on Steroids

Rating: 4/10 (15 April 2004)

I plugged into "The Matrix Revolutions" with low expectations. My mood was good, the environment around me comfortable and the big screen tv put off a nice soft glow. I even had some nice cold beers to drink while watching the show.
A few hours later I'm sitting in my recliner, shaking my head wondering what just happened. I kept asking myself questions like, "Why did they make this movie so bad?'.
I like cgi, eye candy and goo goo graphics. But, I also like to see some real good fight scenes or a car chase that blows your mind (Reloaded). If I wanted to watch robot wars, I would have turned on cartoon network and watched Transformers (I'm not cutting down Transformers, it's much better then this movie). This movie was pretty much Battle Bots on Steroids.

I'm not a kung fu nut or a martial arts buff. When I plug myself into the Matrix though, that's what I want. I want awesome fight scenes like in the previous Matrix movies or a mind blowing car chase. The final battle between Neo and Smith wasn't that wonderful movie magic I experienced in the prior 2 movies before this. I came out of `Revolutions' with that craving not being fulfilled.
Think I'll go rent an old Bruce Lee movie after watching this flick. Or, I could just watch the previous Matrix movies again. Those were pretty dang good.
Rating 5/10 - A moderate rating just because it did have a few good scenes (I loved the train station concept and the script that took place at it).
