Best of the Matrix movies (after seeing the other two)

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2004)

I was disappointed with the original Matrix which, despite of all the hype, had hardly any originality and merely recycled ideas stolen from elsewhere. The special effects were ok of course, but then again for example the "deep" meaningless dialogues were almost laughable.
Therefore, after seeing all the bad reviews, I was quite surprised to find that The Matrix Revolutions makes a decent ending for the series. For example, the annoying meaningless pseudo-philosophical babble of Oracle and Morpheus in the two previous movies makes perfect sense after seeing the ending, if you can read between the lines. Unfortunately, most people seem to have missed the implications of the ending because they are not spelled out to the viewer (and I'm not into spoilers). There are also enough small twists in the basic storyline to keep one's interest toward the conclusion. I was also pleased to see that, despite of the opportunities, the movie was not hacked into numerous TV-like cuts likey they tend to do nowadays. The Wachowski Brothers have not sold out (completely), there is still hope.
