An Excellent Wrap

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 2003)

I am glad I read some of the postings here before I saw Revolutions for two reasons. There were some comments here that explained the the philosophy better for me-it assisted in my understanding. I was one of those folks too confused and so a bit 'let down' by Reloaded. Also, I went into that theater today with more of an open mind.
Revolutions blew my mind! As a piece of entertainment, it was stunning. As a wrap-up to the trilogy, it was excellent. The people behind these films have raised the bar so high. How is it that so many folks are so anxious to rip these people? The work they put into these films is so extensive it is obvious their art was the whole key-not 'how can they grab our dollars?' And also, I realize I am almost alone in this, but I do not think the acting is terrible. Even with Keanu! Where do you guys get off? Want to jump in there & give it a go? Try! Blue screen..CUT. Action...CUT. Two frames CUT. This is not easy stuff!
Some of the 'thoughts' here remind me of the amateur music critic gab. When something is successful it is suddenly "sell out" instead of, could it be? Good! It's almost as if they expect God to come to earth in the movie and nothing less will do! Well, that is (almost) what happened.
Great fun. This trilogy will be looked back on as changing how films are made, expanding the horizons of special effects, upping the ante, raising the bar! It's up there with Star Wars and Aliens, if not better. I had a hell of a great time today in that theater! I must say I enjoyed Revolutions as much as any film in years. Not every movie event must be super 'deep'. Sometimes old-fashioned fun will do. Revolutions was a blast.
I say if you go into that theater without a bunch of expectations, you will have a good time.
