Not perfect, but quite close (Spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (8 April 2004)

Now, first off, I would like to say that I enjoyed this movie to the fullest. I would recommend it to any Matrix fan (which is just about all of you), a movie goer that loves to see incredible art in the movies they watch, but not the casual movie-goer who hasn't seen one or two. For one, you'll be lost, and two, you'll end up with a migraine at the end of the movie.
Do not read the next 9 paragraphs if you haven't seen the movie.
Now, for my thoughts. My first thought is that this is probably one of the greatest trilogies of our time. The only one that compares to it and happens to beat it is LOTR, but we all expected that, didn't we?
The next one is that this movie is more conclusive than most people let themselves believe it is. Now, to understand the ending, there were two important clues that we learned over the trilogy, but were developed over time. They were when Neo got bugged and when Smith was destroyed by Neo. Both of these things happened in the first movie, yes, but we don't fully understand them until the third one.
In The Matrix Reloaded, Smith talks to Neo about part of Smith being over-writed onto Neo, and vice-versa. Then he talks about how he's freed from the Source. He doesn't say "The Source", but he references it by talking about how he was supposed to go and be deleted, but decided to stay in exile. Now, if Smith wasn't destroyed by Neo, he would still have had a connection to the Source and would've had to obey it. If there were any problems with Smith, the Source could've just deleted Smith when it wanted to. However, Smith wasn't connected to the Source anymore.
However, Neo was. When Smith lost his connection to the Source, Neo gained his. That's why Neo was able to destroy the machines just by thinking it.
The whole thing about Neo being bugged just shows that The Matrix cannot track every single one of its inhabitants. They have absolutely no connection to the Source unless bugged. The Matrix can follow its inhabitants moves through computer programs, but, otherwise, it has absolutely no control over its inhabitants.
That's why when Smith took over the people of The Matrix, nothing happened to him. However, when Smith took over Neo, Neo had the most direct connection with the Source. Neo realized this, and figured that only the Source could stop Smith. So, when Smith took over Neo, Smith was reconnected with the Source. So, all the Source did was delete Neo/Smith, and that caused a cataclysmic destruction of Smith. All of the Smiths were intertwined with each other, so, when one is deleted, so are the others.
There are many more clues that prove my point, but the two I said were the most basic.
The one other thing I would like to say is that I saw a lot of things that were similar to The Passion of the Christ. For one, when Jesus is being scourged, He gets back up to show that no matter how hard they try they can't win. In The Matrix Revolutions, Smith has dropped Neo about a hundred feet into the street. Smith watches as Neo tries to get up, but Neo can't. Smith then asks why Neo keeps on fighting. Neo gets up, showing absolutely no pain, and says, "Because I choose to." Another thing that's similar is when Jesus is crucified and has died, the enemies of Jesus think that he has lost when really he won. When Smith took over Neo, Smith thought he had won. In reality, Smith had lost.
My only problem with this whole movie is that Neo didn't get to kill Smith. Of course, what we got was a much better ending, true, but I'm just one of those people who would've loved to see Smith being beat up by Neo. Of course, Trinity was probably the reason Neo didn't kill Smith.
So, in conclusion, this is one movie I recommend completely for viewing many times over. You can't really understand The Matrix unless you watch all three movies many times. I still don't truly understand it, and I'm still trying to figure it out. Until then, I'll just keep watching the movies and patiently wait for The Matrix Online to come out.
My review: 9/10
