Letdown Central

Rating: 2/10 (5 November 2003)

If Reloaded was about life, this addresses death. True, it addresses the death of The Matrix as a successful trilogy. Never before have I felt so let down and disappointed with this shoddy movie that is covered over by special effects. Nothing was answered, in fact more questions were created and not in the way in which we could work it out for ourselves, we're talking total confusion. The film is visually stunning, but predictable and there is nothing new about it. Although it is a good epic war film, it uses every cheezy cliche imaginable to do this.
The only real brilliance is Hugo Weaving, who plays the role of Agent Smith and confirms him as one of cinemas all time evil bad guys. The rest of the cast are plain and rarely get into the character they are portraying, with exception to Jada Pinkett-Smith who plays Niobi very well.
The main disappointment about this movie is that it is called Revolutions but nothing is concluded aside from the obvious. If you are a die hard fan that knows all the ins and outs of the Matrix philosophy, you may be able to decypher all the questions I simply could not answer, however I wouldn't get your hopes up. After Reloaded I was convinced that this movie would make or break the trilogy and for me, it destroyed it. As far as I am concerned, there is only one Matrix film worth the time of day and thats the original.
