Why you may not like it

Rating: 6/10 (5 November 2003)

The problem with trilogies is that each story is supposed to follow on from the previous one. However the problem with the Matrix is that the first movie was complete in its own right. The following two films add more dimension and issues to the idea of the matrix and to Zion without being their own stories.
The reason people are not happy when they exit from Revolutions is a couple of things: 1) It IS actually a tedious film 2) It is anti-climactic: the trilogy is over and you now know the whole story. 3) When given the answers to the problems in the first and second films people think, "Is that it? That's the answer I have been waiting for? I thought of that myself, what a crock!" And this is usually followed by no. 2
So, the 3rd movie may be crap, but hey, at the least the Wachowskis gave us the matrix, created this hype and the first one is still something to be fascinated by (and Animatrix aint that bad either).
