Better than Id hoped

Rating: 8/10 (12 November 2003)

After the first matrix i felt a sense of change in my overall outlook on life,it is a film of hope and belief. The second film was disappointing, well to be honest what wouldnt have been after the modern classic that is the matrix. Still i told myself that the second film was not a film but half of one and it seemed better. Dont get me wrong the humour in it intended and otherwise and the action were first rate. I saw it in a giant cinema of nearly 1500 people and the atmosphere was amazing. However, the third film does exactly what i wanted it to, it entertained me and told a story. What some people are forgetting when they say that there is no background narrative or indication of the plot it that these three films are not supposed to be seen as separate stories but as one whole saga. The revolutions film ended these saga on a high note of hope and wraps up the franchise. Think of the three as one and try to imagine a better trilogy. In my mind it beats the original star wars hands down and im a big fan of george lucas' baby. The matrix is to me more like Star Wars and the Lord of The Rings than say, Die Hard. The stories are one split into three and not three separate plots. The original will never be beaten but the third comes close. I sat there and said WOW NOW I UNDERSTAND THE MATRIX CONCEPT. Go see it but see the others just before and remember that they are one! The one!
