It sucks...i'm sorry to break it to you guys but the 3rd Matrix just sucks. I thought the first one was good...not this massive religious experience that some creepy people seem to make it out to be, but overall a good movie. The 2nd one sucked. Seemed to drift around looking for a point, whole scenes could have been cut out etc etc. Yet I listened to my friends (foolishly) who said "oh, wait till the 3rd one, it will all make sense then". Yea, right. Went with a mate of mine, took him for his birthday actually. What an awful friend I am, giving him that kind of present. We both walked out and just said "why?" Not that deep philosophical "why are we here what is the matrix blah blah blah" crap, more "why in god's name did we throw away 3 hours of our lives?" People who like this movie, hell people who like the whole trilogy can extract as much philosophical meaning as they want out of it. Its all what they choose to see. They can go on and on about how great the effects are. They can write sermons about what a moving experience it is to see the Matrix and how it changed their lives and made them give up gambling and drinking and how great the Wachowski Bros are...but it doesnt mean anything. Why? CUZ THE MOVIE SUCKED. The whole "well you just dont understand the ending and how original it was and how deep it was" crap doesnt work on me. The ending sucked. The movie sucked. There, argument over.
