I am thankful to have experienced such a trilogy.

Rating: Null/10 (9 November 2003)

I can see why the movie has a lot of negative buzz. I see where people are disappointed on some levels, but then theres other things I find to be trivial to be disappointed about.
Personally, I thought the first film was only decent, just another cool movie in Hollywood, not a favorite. So I had exactly NO hype for Reloaded when it came out, and when it did I was blown away, thus making the first film a much better movie for me as well.
It was inevitable that i would hype the third film to death after loving Reloaded so much. I downloaded every clip possible when it hit the net and had wallpapers on my computer backgroud of the Neo VS Smith fight.
Well, anyway. I saw the film twice in one day and enjoyed it both times. The ending leaves a lot of spaces where only opinion can be filled in unless the story is continued in some fashion, i just pray the Wachowskis do the writing or these three films meant nothing.
The Pacing on both Reloaded and Revolutions suffers a bit in the beginning, Reloaded more than Revolutions but on a personal level I feel the action sequences and the third films conclusion make up for it.
The special effects are amazing, sure the acting isn't top notch or oscar worthy but the movies in general, when they want to be, they are VERY entertaining. The music to the two of the most amazing fight scenes I've ever seen (The Burly Brawl and Super Brawl) add to the scenes making them epic and very memorable.
I think The Matrix is this generations Star Wars, but The Matrix has a reason to be known as a landmark film, for Star Wars only achieved beams of light, which sooner or later anyone in the film industry could have produced.
To sum it up, The Matrix is my favorite trilogy, the end to it all satisfied me because long afterwards I am able to say "why did this happen and how?" I don't wish for a sequel, and probably don't want the answers to all the questions the trilogy has raised, but overall I feel the films are very entertaining pieces of Hollywood work that will be etched in many peoples minds for a long time. The movie naturally has its fair share of flaws but if you just sit back and enjoy it (some may need a dictionary/thesaurus) and don't criticized how it could have been done, just marvel at how it has been done.
