Better than the lousy reviews would have you believe

Rating: 7/10 (24 November 2003)

So; I read all the horrible reviews and decided to go anyway. You know what? It's a lot better than I expected and it's not simply a case of being impressed vs. lowered expectations. Revolutions is better than Reloaded. For one thing, the acting is significantly less wooden, though Trinity still is playing it too unemotionally (as is Neo). The movie is far from perfect compared to the brilliant first outing and the plot lapses/confusions constantly annoy (try figuring out the Oracle's story). Nothing compares to the car chase scene in Reloaded. That said, all the animation/CGI constantly amazes. The weak ending will leave you mad, literally.
