A Bitter Ending...

Rating: 3/10 (5 October 2006)

Only once, upon exiting a theatre, have I felt a genuine sense of bitter disappointment with a film.
This was that film! despite the flaws and lounger's in 'Reloaded' I had hoped to find a tighter, deeper, more dynamic conclusion. Instead we got a mixture of product placement for Toys R' Us and every war cliché discarded from better movies.
The irony of 'reality' being the weakest part of the narrative was apt, but seemed unintended as the unlikeable Zion (which, like Heaven or Utopia, should never have been so fully revealed)battled endless machines whilst the audience battled seemingly endless boredom.
If The Matrix was a movie of the mind, this was simply a movie of the wallet. And like 'bought' wisdom it too rang hollow in both head and heart.
