Love it or hate it

Rating: Null/10 (14 November 2003)

As with all art you either love it, tolerate it, or hate it. The Matrix was a good sci fi movie, it ranked up there with Alien and blade Runner. It was original, the effects were groundbreaking and the action was integral to the movie. Matrix Revolutions certainly tied the loose ends but it could have been at least 40 minutes shorter. Reloaded and Revolutions should have been one movie, period. The action scenes were simply tooooo drawn out. The effects were seamless and brilliant in some scenes and absolutely awful in others, but in general there were just too many of them. "OK we need to make three movies, a.k.a. LOTR, lets cram in some more action and more effects". I felt like walking out I was so bored. The brothers certainly dropped the ball and relegated the Matrix to mediocre at best.
