Bitter end

Rating: 3/10 (11 February 2004)

It's easier to comment Matrix Revolutions now, after all the critics and after the beautiful conclusion of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Now, say bad things about it is, like we say here, "to kick a dead dog". It's easier because you can point all the mistakes and misunderstandings in Revolutions. You know, not even a visual effects nomination it got.

I spent a lot of time trying to understand the whole thing. Not the story itself, but what the hell did the Wachowski brothers tried to say with the sequels. After some months, I gave up. The holes in the script are there, they're not part of the mysterious story. The useful characters, the real "One" thing, or the Architect, or the Oracle, all the great icons that the first movie created, were taken away by the rain.
I liked Matrix Reloaded because it left a lot of new plots to be explained in Revolutions. But when you watch the 3rd one, and it disappoints you, the Reloaded loses its meaning too.
I could make a list of things that disappointed me in Revolutions, but everybody already made it. So I just say: I'm not nerd enough to like a hero that's nothing but an antivirus. And what did Morpheus did in this third movie? Co-pilot? Neo turned into an antivirus, Morpheus turned into Chewbacca. Come on, brothers... I prefer the wookie.
