despite the dazzle, exceptionally boring

Rating: 4/10 (5 November 2003)

*Possible spoilers!* I left the theater thinking "I'm glad I got that over with." What should have been the emotional parts left me unmoved; and the fight sequences, as in "Reloaded" were overly long - filler. That said, the movie got two things right: first, Morpheus got the wind knocked out of his preachy sails after the Prophecy wasn't fulfilled in the second movie rendering him relatively quiet for this installment; and more importantly, the directors resisted a "Hollywood" ending where everyone lives happily ever after.
