very sadly disappointing, a huge missed opportunity

Rating: Null/10 (5 November 2003)

I went to see Matrix Revolutions with great expectations, and was left with a sad feeling of what a good movie it could have been. The Wachowskis missed a huge opportunity to follow through with their past ground breaking word. None of the philosophical infrastructure is here except some empty rhetoric messily and cheesily ending in some christian 'savior' mythology. It's all Hollywood-style 'bing bang boom' and the fight scenes between Smith and Neo are utterly disappointing. This ends up being another Hollywood big budget production flirting with your expectations, and delivering very little. I cannot help but thinking how am I going to now enjoy the previous two movies after this messy disappointment full with cliche dialogues and underdeveloped side characters.
