Maybe not what you wanted, but exactly what it should be.

Rating: 9/10 (7 November 2003)

I'll try to steer clear of SPOILERS, but no guarantees.
"Matrix Revolutions" is NOT some overblown techno-war movie full of nothing but explosions and Kung Fu. It is not a film filled with blinding action sequences to the point of ignoring the fact that people think and feel. It is not the original Matrix movie, though it does finish the story started therein. It doesn't have a sappy love-story ending, a suave Bond or Indiana Jones ending, an explosive Star Wars ending, a Highlander final-battle ending, or any other overused stereotypical hyped up Hollywood ending. In other words: this movie is probably not all of what you hoped and dreamed and wanted it to be. That being said, IT'S A VERY GOOD FILM. Just because it's not what you wanted it to be, just because the Wachowski brothers took it in a direction you didn't want it to go, just because characters have dialogue and don't just blow stuff up and fight the entire time does NOT make it a bad film. Your expectations were wrong, get over it and enjoy this movie for what it is and not what you wished it were or thought it should be.
I'll also let you know that I am a Christian man and I saw this movie in that context. If you think that you're the almighty king/queen of objectivism, you're an idiot. No one is completely objective; it isn't possible. You (or I) might be able to attempt to see something from alternative viewpoints, but that just means that we're not so subjective as to be blind. As a Christian man, I thought that Revolutions and indeed the whole Matrix trilogy was a marvelous story with better religious imagery than should even have been expected. If you didn't think that the religious imagery in this movie followed suit with the storyline, then you were fooling yourself by ignoring it in the first two. If you are offended by religious imagery, you probably won't like this film. You're also missing out on a number of the best movies ever since you'll have to strike off "Cool Hand Luke", "Shawshank Redemption", "The Godfather", "Star Wars", and many others for their use of religious symbolism (at least a dozen of the top 25 on this site, including all of the top 5).
Many people are digging at this film for having some rather corny, predictable dialogue. Those people are hypocrites. Most of the best movies ever are full of corny dialogue. Watch "Seven Samurai" or "The Godfather" or "Casablanca" again and shut up.
Revolutions has several sections where characters dialogue instead of battle. If you'd rather see nothing but explosions and combat, go watch "Rambo III", "XXX", or something equally mindless. The dialogue is deeply philosophical, concerning issues of choice, freedom, peace, existence, purpose, causation, and natural balance. In combining the action and the intelligence, the reality with the normative and meta-ethical consideration, this movie appeals to senses and minds instead of focusing on one and being devoid of the other.
"Matrix Revolutions" has action, but not too much. It has deep--albeit occasionally corny--dialogue, but not too much of either. It has a great deal of religious imagery, but it does so without being offensive to other religious beliefs (insofar as I understand). It has CGI, but it's used more delicately than the Smith battle in Reloaded. It is by no means perfect, but it is even less what many (dare I say most) people wanted it to be. The Wachowskis could have appealed to the masses and brought in more money and gone down in history as the makers of an innovative series of movies that represented the same braindead entertainment provided within their Matrix to keep the masses happy, but instead they went out on a limb and stuck to what they wanted the story to be: a combination of technology and theology that cinema hasn't seen before nor is likely to see again for a good while without being a copycat project.
I reiterate, this is a very good movie so long as you watch it for what it *IS* and not simply what you think it should be. 9/10
