What the hell were they thinking

Rating: 6/10 (7 November 2003)

I just got out of the Matrix Revolutions a couple of hours ago and I think I am beginning to dislike the film more by the minute. There are a lot of problems with this film, but to me the primary trouble with it is simple there isn't any closure, they didn't answer any of the questions they asked, and the action sequences were underwhelming. First off let's start with the action sequences, simply put they blew their creative wad on the first two films. The Zion shootout was allright but felt too artificial, nothing like the rescue scene from the first one and the brilliant highway chase scene from the second one, and the final battle between Neo and Smith was allright but hey we have scene Neo take on a hundred agent Smiths in Reloaded how much fun is it going to be to see him just fight one. The movie doesn't answer any of it's questions either, it is like someone asking you a question and then skimping on the answer. They left so much for us to ponder with the first two and they basically copped out on the answers. I suspect this film was heavily edited and we may see a three hour DVD one of these days. Anyways the film is a mess and I am sooooooooo disapointed. I loved the first one and thought Reloaded was even better, this one was just a letdown.
