What a Great Deception!

Rating: 5/10 (7 May 2004)

The original `Matrix' is one of the best movies of science fiction I have ever seen. Inclusive it is ranked as #32 in IMDB, so many users of IMDB share my opinion. I was very disappointed with `Matrix Reloaded', but anyway it was a reasonable entertainment. Today I have bought `Matrix Revolutions' on DVD and I really would like to have my money back. Here in Brazil this film was very rejected and most of my friends has not even rented it. Now I can understand the reason why. Inclusive the Brazilian distributor simultaneously released the DVD for rental and sell-through, and this procedure is not common in Brazil. It is amazing how a great concept of future of mankind can be so easily spoiled. The screenplay is full of flaws, there is a total exaggeration in special effects, an awful conclusion, it is unbelievable what some persons in Hollywood do for money. I hope this series is finished, since a `Matrix IV' would be unbearable for my taste. I noted that the actress who performed `The Oracle' (Gloria Foster) in `Matrix' and `Matrix Reloaded' died on 29 September 2001, therefore she was replaced by Mary Alice in `Matrix Revolutions'. `Matrix Reloaded' was her last film. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): `Matrix Revolutions'
