Rating: 6/10 (5 November 2003)

here's my take.i've structured it a bit.Spoilers ahead. 1.the fight scenes were great.great shots, great music and great special effects.the final fight between neo and smith is one of the highlights of the trilogy.i would buy it on dvd just to see that over and over again. 2.the non-fight scenes are perhaps the weakest in movie history.highly clished and highly predictible.when the actors were not fighting i was embarresed to be in the theatre. 3.the story is really weak.but it leaves many holes: a.the characters of merovingian and persophone were inexistant in revolutions.The whole "give me the eyes of the oracle" sucked because he cowerdly agreed to let Neo go.the train station and the fact that neo was trapped between the worlds had great potential yet the brothers f'ed it up. b.i have no idea why trinity dies in Reloaded just so they can kill her in the 3rd.Its ok that she dies in revolutions with me but it makes the near death experience in Reloaded a waste of good 20 minutes. c.how the hell can neo kill sentinels?it was explained but the explanation was ludacris.he is still a human, flesh and blood so he should have powers outside the matrix. d.the im-blind-but-i-can-see-with-my-minds-eye was taken from the Dune books.it was a nice touch but a bit dramatic. Overall, a lot of bad touches but the fight scenes are really good so i guess pros and cons make it about a big 0 :). so 6/10 for me.it was no gigli. p.s. nice touch with killing neo.no way i saw that coming.nice touch also with smith beating the crap outta neo but still outsmarted by the man.
