The Matrix Revolutions: Eye Candy or Bad Film-making?

Rating: 6/10 (2 May 2005)

I believe this movie had LESS plot than a lot of others. The Matrix Revolutions is BAD film-making. It seems almost as if the special effects are there to take your attention away from the fact that Revolutions actually has 75% LESS plot than the other Matrix movies. The Matrix had a very intelligent and involving (if not somewhat confusing) plot, about blah blah choices, reality isn't real, humanity plugged into a computer program while robots live off our body heat. Even in Reloaded, not quite as engaging, but it was still there. But in Revolutions it was all like: Okay, there's robots coming to kill us all, and we're going to blast them with our robots, and they're still going to win, and some character (Link's wife Zee) who really wasn't important in Reloaded is suddenly going to play a major role, while some guy from the last movie is going to try to kill Neo 'cause he's really Smith, and then despite the fact that the machines don't make deals, Neo is going to save humanity by entering the Matrix and having a big CGI battle with ONE (count him, 1) Agent Smith, and smash through CGI buildings and create CGI shock waves with lots of CGI lightning. And how the hell does assimilating the Oracle give Smith the power to fly? Boo. The only reason I like this movie is because I'm a 17-year-old boy and I like watching the machines get blasted to bits and the kung-fu battle is cool.
