Epic.

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2003)

It had guys in mecha shooting stuff. And a scene of aerial kung fu in thunderstorm - kills most lame anime scenes *dead*. Heck, I'll give 10/10 for this stuff alone!
Now that we're done with the unpleasant scoring task, krhm, let's talk of the movie...
I immediately liked The Matrix. The Matrix Reloaded was somewhat weirder then - every time I watch it I have the feeling "man, this *sucked*," and after a hour or so, "gee, that was pretty deep, actually". The Matrix Revolutios, then, is more like this: When I got out of theatre, the first thought was "these battle scenes were EPIC!", 30 minutes later I was feeling "was it really that good? I don't think so!" and a hour later, "okay, I think it was pretty good."
I don't think it's as good as the first movie. The second and third movie *together* are pretty good, and actually pretty tolerable. Like Reloaded, there's good stuff and bad stuff and there's general uneasy feeling to the whole thing - and there are some scenes that could have benefited from some... abridging, without them losing their meaning entirely.
As mentioned, there's Epic Effect Stuff and Battle Scenes. No problem, the boys in the Industry can do that stuff well these days. As for how well this integrates with the Matrix stories, or how well it pulls its philosophical sled of rocks, I'm not going to comment, other than that I thought the conclusion was adequate - and I can see why some people are getting angered, because the previous movies subject to interpretation and conclusion may not be as easily interpreted. (I think people start to Debate(tm) soon. It will not necessarily be pleasant.) As such, it may not be everyone's favorite movie. I thought it worked though, and was an adequate end to the series.
