Disappointing

Rating: Null/10 (22 March 2004)

Like Lord of the Rings, I'll sum up the movie in part 3. The first 2 were great with the 2nd one being the best part. The 3rd was disappointing cuz humans lost and Neo dies and it's not your basic Hollywood ending. I can appreciate that, but it still sucked. I'm a techno-pessimist, so I can relate to the movie. I hate all things computer animated and electronic for the most part. Technology can be good, but as usual, humans only know how to use things for evil and wonder why we're biting our arses. There's still some things I don't understand about Smith and Neo's connection, but it has something to do with an equation balancing itself. Yin and yang, matter and anti-matter, Heaven and Hell, etc. These movies were cool for all kinds of reasons. It touched on philosophy, religion, ethics, science, social and political issues, economics, ecology, martial arts, and everything in between and missing. I liked that Zion reflected a name from Judeo texts. I liked that most of the people in Zion were people of color, reflecting that Earth itself started that way. (Yea, read evolutionary anthropology essays people) And Zion represented a new Earth so to speak. It opened up everyday issues that people couldn't talk about in a creative and unqiue way. The fight scenes were dramatic and innovative and visually stunning. Nothing will top this for awhile. I seriously thought they should've won an Oscar for this movie because it was simply inspiring and ingenious to put together. Of course, the Oscar panel sucks and only picks mostly retarded movies to nominate. They shy away from popular movies most of the time. There are exceptions and this should have been one of them. The movie makes you think if this is a world we wanna live in the way we're going. Awesome job and kudos to everyone in the film. I was proud of Keanu, but he still can't shake that Bill and Ted accent. Carrie was great and Laurence is just THE man. Awesome actor. Stil, it's a movie for our generation and it was great.
