Disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (7 November 2003)

That's about the only word I can use to describe this movie. When I first saw the Matrix I was a senior in high school and it was by far the coolest movie I had ever seen. Not the best, the coolest. When Reloaded came out, I was pretty stoked and wasn't disappointed because I felt it was the best of the three. SPOILERS!!! Knowing how it ends, I really don't ever want to watch any of them again because I know how it all ends and what a sucky ending it was. Absolutely no resolution whatsoever. A couple of the storylines in this one were pretty good and Agent Smith was pretty damn cool but man did this movie suck. I commend the W. Brothers for taking a risk in making an ending that didn't have Gary Cooper ride off into the sunset with Grace Kelly but what a tease this trilogy was. I guess I just have to have a little bit more closure, cheesy or not. It would be nice to think that people could appreciate a movie that has everyone holding hands in the end but I just didn't expect that from this story. However, you could say that the ending was consistent with where the plot was headed so it really couldn't have ended any other way. It just sucked how it ended. Boring.
Anyone that has seen the first two should most likely see this one but I suggest you don't get your hopes up because I did and was severely disappointed. As far as movies go, it really wasn't done that poorly and the visual effects were good all around. There are also a lot of good characters that get overshadowed by the poor acting of some of the key ones. Had this movie stood alone, could have gotten a greater review from me but we all know it doesn't make sense without the other two and unfortunately doesn't compare to the other two and leaves the story right where it picked it up. 4/10.
