Not good as other two, but I was satisfied with the ending. Boring, but it's still The Matrix.

The Matrix Revolutions is in my opinion the most boring. Never does not manage to keep me attention to all details. .

Everything feels so over the top! The first Matrix movie was brilliant, the second one became bigger in size and had some great action but got lost in too much add-ons to the story and pseudo philosofical mumbo jumbo. This third Matrix movie just buries the whole franchise and I lost interest in the whole series.

This person shall now be referred to as the smug dumbass. I expect this comment from hardcore 2001 fans, accusing people who don't share their lopsided opinions as just being too unsophisticated to grasp the film. This movie was not terrible because it was too sophisticated. Quite the opposite actually. Reloaded and Revolutions are filled with pseudo post-modernist rhetorical nonsense in disguise as philosophy, that is, over-complicating the most simple of concepts and passing that off as philosophy, expecting people to see big words and go "oh wow, that must be true then!"

Not only is the ending anticlimatic, it ignores the very thing we were told was the goal of the Humans in the first matrix. We're told at the end that it was the goal of the Humans and the characters to stop the war against the machines, while in the first film we were told it was to liberate Humans in The Matrix. So, not only do the Wachowskis not know what they are doing, we are forced to suffer because of it. The battle in Zion, which is about 40% of the movie, has nothing to do with the final resolution, that is Neo and Trinity's journey to the machine city, and Neo's final battle with Smith. So we're forced to sit through a long, dull and uninteresting battle that has nothing to do with the film's climax, with a defence strategy which seems to have been designed by a 6 year old. Neo's final battle with Smith is one of the most uninteresting fight scenes I've seen in any film, and has nothing on the final fight scene between the two in the first movie. The movie is filled with rhetorical nonsense, stupid dialogue and wooden acting (no fault of the actors, just the fault of the terrible script). It was said in Reloaded that Neo was making decisions before he understood why. It seems the Wachowskis also did this before making Reloaded and Revolutions. In their mind, they already made them, now everyone else is trying to understand why they made them. A complete dud. Don't waste your time with this piece of ****… Expand

This bloated and insufferable waste lacks the timing, tension, acting or the epic sweep that made the original such a good movie. If you want to make a bad action movie, don't go for silly or unintelligent, go for boring.

This was sooooooooooooooooooo disappointing! The ending stunk and the whole thing was really boring. You would think they would try to at least make the final chapter decent enough to pass off as mediocre. But they failed miserably.

The Wachowskis seemed so in control of their ideas, and the means to convey them, that for once, sequels seemed like something to look forward to rather than dread. So what happened? The law of diminishing creative returns demands that most sequels land with a disappointing "pffft," but with The Matrix Reloaded, the sound was more like a deadening thud. The movie's ideas seemed ambitious but muddled, the action sequences were impressive but overbearing, and the story felt like a science-fiction novel with every other chapter removed. Still, fans of the Indiana Jones and Star Wars trilogies know that two out of three is usually good enough, which left reason to hope that The Matrix Revolutions, the third and presumably final installment, would redeem the series. It's an initial bad sign that Revolutions opens exactly where Reloaded left off: in the middle of a bunch of talky **** From there, watching Revolutions becomes a process of hoping it will be better than Reloaded, then hoping it will at least make more sense than Reloaded, then hoping it will at least have a sequence as cool as the car chase in Reloaded. Revolutions fails on all counts, but comes closest to meeting the last one. As mere spectacle, the Matrix series is still one of the coolest shows in town, and the CGI highlights–a swarm of robots, a superhero-style fight high above a stormy city, a gravity-defying gunfight–will no doubt inspire a whole new generation of rip-offs. Filled with talk of love and other fine human qualities, Revolutions seems to aspire to more than mechanical confusion. But for all their skill at wrangling effects, the Wachowskis no longer seem to know how to handle anything more. Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Keanu Reeves disappear for long stretches, and though the action moves fast, the plot never builds momentum. Logic must have gotten discarded between sequels, too. When Reeves' messianic protagonist fights evil Hugo Weaving (whose sneering delivery steals all the best moments) in a climactic showdown, it's never clear if the game has rules, or whether whoever stirs up the most dirt wins. Once the dust clears, it's hard to think of a film saga that's wound down with such a profound anticlimax. It's a whimper in bang's clothing.… Expand

Serio, não sei como as coisas vieram para aqui. Tivemos um primeiro filme excelente, um segundo que, apesar de não ser tão completo, ainda era bem divertido e prendia, dai chegamos a esse aqui...

Uma continuação direta do segundo filme, que simplesmente se faz de desentendido quanto a sua proposta e não sabe o que faz, partindo até muito do pressuposto que mais é melhor. O filme tenta passar pra você as proporções que tudo aquilo atingiu, mas nada é tão épico quanto eles querem fazer parecer. O filme mal conta com cenas de luta, e quando há, são fracas. O roteiro não prende - na realidade, você não liga pra nada, e as únicas pessoas na qual você podia se preocupar, nem fazem muita presença no filme. A OST é desconexa, tentando passar uma emoção na qual a cena não condiz. Enfim, um grande desperdício de atores, dinheiro e da própria obra antecessora.… Expand

Uninteresting finale with too much CGI and an awful ending. If you want to end a franchise properly, you leave a good taste in the viewer’s mouth instead of selling out.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My God was this awful! It was so slow and convoluted. The script made no sense and that ridiculous philosophical mumbo jumbo from Reloaded has been put on steroids. I’ve seen Revolutions before but I couldn’t even make it a half hour in this time. I recommend skipping this trainwreck and just reading what happens in it on wikia instead, to save yourself the sheer boredom of sitting through this movie to get prepared for Resurrections.… Expand

Vomit. That's all I can say. The story and dialog in this movie is absolutely horrendous, and puts it on par with Battlefield Earth.

The movie is then audacious enough to add to the pathetic script pseudo-intellectual mumbo-jumbo, the wise old Oracle, black and white, good versus evil. I hated all the matrix movies, because they take a good idea, and then turn it into computer game gunk like an Uwe Boll movie, but this third film takes the cake. My head really wanted to implode from the innanity of this film.… Expand

The acting is bad too (primarily because they actors, unsure of what the hell they're saying, have no frame of reference for their lines).… Expand

How can you go from something as truly extraordinary as the Matrix 1 and make this piece of sh.t?

Uninspired acting and script, lame and cliched "emotional" sequences (i.e. end of the movie sunset *puke*), and an incredibly shallow plot. Be prepared for a hopelessly predictable ending to what started out as a really legendary series. What is really sad is how they left the movie open to another sequel.

Garbage. Cannot find a better description. Everything is dumb, clearly out of the initial trilogy. Remove all kind of accomplishment of the first 3 films. The only thing it succced in is to make Neo an idiot and an incompetent.
