Whatever

Rating: 5/10 (6 November 2003)

I'm a little surprised about how poorly THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS is being received by critics. It got a mere 37% on Rotten Tomatoes.com. STAR TREK: NEMESIS somehow managed to get 40%.
I didn't hate THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS, but I didn't like it either. Some parts of it were cool, other parts were lame. It really didn't affect me very much. I think the Wachowski brothers could do better. With all those awesome special effects, its a shame that there wasn't really a strong story in THE MATRIX RELOADED or in THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS.
Also, did anyone else notice how few scenes Keanu Reeves has in this movie in comparison to the first two MATRIX films? And even in those scenes, did anyone notice how few lines of dialogue he had? Also, about two-thirds of the way through the movie, something happens to Reeves's character that makes his performance even more limited than it was already. It wouldn't surprise me if the producers did all of that on purpose so that the movie would have as little of Reeves's bad acting as possible.
My grade:
5 out of 10.
