Quickly becoming a very underrated film.

Rating: 7/10 (16 November 2003)

There seems to be a lot of controversy over what rating to give to Revolutions. It would seem that this is being fueled by a serious passion for the Matrix series and ultimately a big let down to many fans.
I myself, enjoyed the film. There's no question that it wasn't as good as the Matrix, but few films have been. The concern I have is that people are becoming angry that it wasn't as good. Case in point, have a look at the user rating results break down on this site. Over 1,000 movie lovers have rated this film a "1". Another 1,000 see it as a "2" or "3".
Keep in mind, these are no average moviegoers, these are IMDB members. Consider the absurdity of rating this film a "1". The Matrix Revolutions, in and of itself, is still a good if not great action film. It is well made... great sound... great effects... stunning costumes and set design... well choreographed fight scenes... so-so dialog and acting... still an interesting story, but no Pulp Fiction.
Then what we are left with is a well crafted film with some minor flaws and an 800 pound gorilla on its back (Being part of the original Matrix franchise).
Anyway, assuming you have already voted for this film and are still reading this, I would urge you to recast your vote with less retribution in mind. If you would like to see some movies that really might deserve a 1 out of 10, I suggest renting some classic Ed Wood films, or anything that stars Anna Nicole Smith.
