Superb end to a trilogy. THIS is how live Anime should be!

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2003)

The Matrix Revolutions is a unique movie experience that should be seen un-spoiled, hence this review will be as spoiler free as it can be without being too vague.
For those who i have heard commenting on this movie saying that it was bad i have to ask "what movie were you watching?!". This is a terrific and thrilling movie that continues where The Matrix and Reloaded left off, bringing the story to a wonderful end, that for once doesn't fill in all the gaps and leaves us wondering what the future may hold for this world the Wachowski's have created.
People seem to be forgetting that this movie is the second half of a whole, Reloaded being the first half, setting up most of what happens and comes to completion in this movie.
Some have said there is no characterisation, and that the dialogue is corny, but as far as i was concerned there was characterisation, you just need to watch for it, and the "corny" dialogue(which for the most part was in character) existed for a purpose, which was to relieve the tension that builds for the most part of the film, something that is required for the audience to be able to stay with the movie and not have a heart attack.
The majority of this movie takes place in the real world and not in the matrix, which i found to be a refreshing change, making the threat during the battle for zion come accross as truly man's last stand for freedom, and even existance.
While some may consider the special effects over the top and unnecessary, they are entirely intended to be so, showing the scale of the treat and how many "sentinels" the human resistance must fight off, and the work done in this film is unmatched by ANY other film or scene i can recall(George Lucas, watch this and take note, this is how star wars episodes 1 and 2 should have looked and felt, and you may come out topps for episode 3). The fight between Neo and Smith is one of the effects that truly shows what a battle of the gods would be like.
Overall I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish, this is the way that all Manga/Anime type movies should aim to be, and I for one will be seeing it again very soon and hope that it will be remembered as one of the best conclusions to a trilogy. 10 stars out of 10.
