This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hmm...not the worst movie ever, but still not great. (Before I do anything else with this review, I have to say the user who complained about the contradiction between the original and the sequels is wrong: the Machines were manipulating the One so that he had to reboot the system periodically to keep it running.) This movie does have its moments--Sati is cute, in particular, and the assault on Zion shows remarkably subdued mindless action--but they're counterbalanced by the mediocre and outright bad. As an example, the scene near the end where Trinity flies above the clouds and sees the sun is simply beautiful--or it would be if the craft hadn't lost power as a consequence and crashed. Not only was it sad for me to see Trinity, my personal favourite character, die, it also struck me as unnecessarily cruel and a devaluation of her character. What happened to how capable she was in the first two films? Also, the final battle between Neo and Smith did take a bit too long to end. But I did actually understand pretty much all of it.… Expand

Disappointing film, to be honest. The special effects are spectacular as ever and the performances from the main cast remain stable, but the lack of new ideas and a much interesting plot make it more so-so than satisfying.

Final Score: 5/10

Revolutions felt rushed because it's been in production with Reloaded and that isn't a good thing. Maybe release this later in possibly 2005 or later would be better.

The lavish and complex Zion dock fight, where a small group of human-controlled heavily armed mech suits desperately attempt to defend the last human city from a seemingly endless horde of merciless "squiddy" machine sentinels. That's really about it. The beginning of the film is OK, but the vast majority of it is so annoyingly mediocre, and some moments are so embarrassingly awful that Revolutions makes for a disappointing final chapter in the Wachowski's sci-fi blockbuster trilogy. All the cast's performances underwhelm, apart from Hugo Weaving whose performance as the increasingly power-mad Agent Smith becomes so gloriously camp and over-the-top that it's kind of funny to watch. He also has the only memorable line in the film - once Neo (Keanu Reeves) returns to an apocalyptic, stormy Matrix for his final showdown with his adversary, Smith asks him sardonically "Like what I've done with the place?". This final battle is, disappointingly a bit silly and repetitive, resembling a knockoff fight from Dragonball Z rather than the epic clash of titans the series has been building towards. About the only thing this final, underwhelming set-piece offers apart from intense tedium is some pretty slow-motion water effects. None of the film's characters really develop any further in this film, and most of the cast have very little to do apart from Reeves, who is basically playing Jesus in a big flappy coat. And don't even get me started on the clunky bit of exposition the Wachowskis crowbar in to explain why The Oracle is now played by someone else (Gloria Foster died between the second and third films). The final part of this formidable franchise is incredibly sub-par, and apart from providing the viewer with a couple of good thrills and some form of closure to the story it offers very little except disappointment.… Expand

We find Neo (Keanu Reeves) attempting to return to the real world as he is stuck in between, he manages to convince the rest of the do-gooders that he must go to the Machine City (which was a massive disappointment, by the way) where he will end the war, the problem here is that not very many of the main characters take part in the big Zion battle at all, the most prolific being Commander Lock (Harry Lennix) who appeared in 'Reloaded'. Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) is busy speeding towards the city while Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Neo are en route to Machine City. But perhaps the biggest letdown is the underuse of Smith (Hugo Weaving), who is mentioned when Neo is speaking to the Oracle (Mary Alice) as an afterthought but yet he is pivotal to the whole thing, yet his existence is still very much questionable as is the whole point of what we are watching, is it even real? Or is this some other Matrix style dream. While the set pieces are as visually marvellous as they have ever been, especially the battle of Zion, the plot uses all the same devices from other films to try and salvage what is left, a broken love story, a kid who plays hero and sunrise finale which was just overblown for the simple point that it didn't make sense and wasn't approached in the right manner, leaving us alienated to care as little for these characters as possible, Neo was interesting in the first two but takes a back seat to speak vaguely in this one and without much input.
Perhaps it may have been better had it not been filmed back to back with 'Reloaded'. While a fluid and continuing style can be maintained, a complex plot with little sense may have been avoided, instead we have got a satisfying ending, but not this time around.… Expand

The cinematic event that added further credence to the old urbanFinally, at long last, I get to meet and shake hands with the film that sunk a thousand ships. The movie that singlehandedly besmirched the integrity of an entire franchise. The cinematic event that added further credence to the old urban legend that the perfect movie trilogy is simply impossible to deliver (though, let's be honest, that was already out the window after "Reloaded," IMO). "The Matrix Revolutions."

Look. All attempts at stalling aside, this movie is pretty bad. And I know that's not a hot take, but it is my take, so here goes.

I guess this is a war movie. Or something. With dudes in mech suits fighting those giant squid robots. For most of the running time. My God. How did we even get here? I remember the good ol' days, when "The Matrix" meant seeing Neo and Trinity raid a building full of baddies, do somersaults off of the walls, and speed out of there on a bike or in a helicopter. Now we're just. . .in the movie that "Starship Troopers" was a quasi-parody of? And where are Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus anyway? Yes, yes, I know -- Neo and Trinity are on that one ship traveling to the Machine City and Morpheus is at Zion. But WHY are they even in this story? There's a good chunk of time in this where we forget this is even a "Matrix" film, where Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity are sidelined for of characters that I either can't remember or. . .nope, still nothing. And where'd all the philosophical brilliance go? The first "Matrix" film was rife with compelling musings on destiny, humanity's relationship with its machinery, and our entire concept of reality as a whole. Now, all of that's been demoted to painful blather about "the power of love?" I expected better.

The tragic progression of this whole trilogy really makes a case for the reality where the 1999 sci-fi film remained a one-and-done, standalone film with no sequels. Because clearly not even the people who dreamt up that classic romp were capable enough to deliver sequels that were ever going to be equal or better to it. Woulda, coulda, shoulda. What might have been. Something something bird in the hand something something.

Ugh. What a damned shame.… Expand

The anticipated third and final installment, 'The Matrix Revolutions' is a bust... there is no excitement, and the film stands still for a whole nearly two hours to the point where my interest in the plot and the characters ave faded awayThe anticipated third and final installment, 'The Matrix Revolutions' is a bust... there is no excitement, and the film stands still for a whole nearly two hours to the point where my interest in the plot and the characters ave faded away before the third act.

Neo (Keanu Reeves) has awoken from his coma, and starts having visions of the machine world, as in that's his destiny and that's where he must go, assuming it could end the war between man and machine. He ends up stuck in the middle of a train station and cannot find a way out. Meanwhile, Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) run into the Merovingian (Lambert Wilson) who wants something that they are reluctant to give to him in return for Neo's safety.

After he is rescued, Neo turns to the Oracle (Mary Alice), who informs him that there will be a war, and that the fate of the humans in Zion rests in his hands. He must fight Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) no matter how difficult it might be.

I could go on talking about other characters and what they're doing, but it's just not interesting enough, all you need to know is; Neo finds out something, he must go to it, and the war has to be fought to protect the people of Zion.

Once again, directed by the Wachowskis, the still prove to showcase some innovative and perfectly timed action scenes. But it's hard to get emotionally involved in this emotionally draining movie... your interest will fade because it just paces from scene to scene until we get to the exciting third act. Once all the action is done, it doesn't feel worth it. The pacing is uneven, and the plot just doesn't move fast enough to keep us caught up with the characters and the premise.

'The Matrix Reloaded' (2003) at least had some exciting scenes all the way through... but this installment is bland and pale.… Expand

In 2003, 'The Matrix' boasted two sequels, 'The Matrix Reloaded' and 'The Matrix Revolutions', generally considered critically and to audience not a patch in quality (though more mixed reviews than negatively received). To me, both are vastly inferior and have major problems. At the same time, neither are travesties, there are notable good points.

Hard to say which is the better of the two sequels, they both have similar strengths but also similar flaws with a couple of things done better or worse in the other. Generally it is a shame that after such a great first instalment that 'The Matrix Revolutions' feels largely unsatisfying.

Starting with 'The Matrix Revolutions' good things, the film while not as imaginative as the previous film or as ground-breaking as the original still looks great. The production design is still audacious, the special effects dazzling and uber-cool, very slick editing and cinematography that's both clever and imaginative. There is an epic eeriness to the music score.

While not as astonishing as previously and there is a slight overload of them (with a couple overlong), the action scenes are still very impressive and the awe factor is still there. They benefit from looking great, breathless stunts, a great sense of paranoia, energy and tension. The final battle between Neo and Smith have garnered a mixed reaction, to me it was thrilling stuff and spectacular in mood even if ending on an anti-climactic note.

Lead performances are fine. Keanu Reeves and Carrie Anne Moss are cool, Hugo Weaving is deliciously wicked and Laurence Fishburne is imposing and charismatic and doesn't take it too seriously this time even with less to do.

On the other hand, 'The Matrix Revolutions' is particularly crippled by its pacing and dialogue. The pacing is even more problematic here than in 'Reloaded' with the first half especially being so inert the slower and talkier parts feel stillborn.

Dialogue was not a strong suit in 'Reloaded' but it's amplified here, its endlessly and annoyingly cryptic conversations, over-wordiness, over-complicated long sentences and wallowing self-importance add to its increasingly cheesy and stilted feel.

'The Matrix Revolutions' story often doesn't draw one in enough, with a very dull first half that makes one tempted to bail. Although the second half fares better, the sense of wonder is nowhere near as strong and it's masked by too many characters, situations and scenes that are overlong and extraneous so, along with an over-seriousness, it feels too bloated and heavy.

While the leads are good enough, the rest of the acting suffers from sketchy characterisation and poor writing. The ending is abrupt and confused, leaving one with too many unanswered questions which a final film in a trilogy should not do.

Overall, not a travesty but less than great. 5/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

Having such low expectations for the film (after the abysmal "Reloaded"), I found myself very much enjoying the third entry. It was then that I realized, that the truth was is that it is purely entertaining, but that it really didn't make any sense and has numerous gaps in logic and plot holes. I also realized that somewhere inside of "Reloaded" and "Revolutions" lies a single good film. After this film, it is clear that the second part could be edited down to a mere twenty minutes and tacked on in place of the opening twenty minutes of "Revolutions," which has absolutely no bearing on the rest of the story. The entire Merovingian subplot in both films is superfluous and only serves to add confusion, not important plot elements. And the ending, well, it doesn't make a lot of sense either, since (***SPOILERS***) the purpose has shifted. In the first film the purpose was to free humanity from slavery, but this ending suggests peace between the machines and man, though the machines rely on humans for an energy source. So in the end, the machines won't attack Zion anymore, but what of the millions of people trapped as machine batteries. There can be no peace, unless the goal is no longer to free humanity, but rather to repopulate the charred planet with the inhabitants of Zion. No explanation, I guess. What it comes down to, is the film is a fun ride, exciting to watch but anytime it tries for an intelligent idea or explanation it fails on every level. Which is a shame, because the balance is exactly what the first film established so brilliantly.… Expand

The movie tries to stuff too much cgi and over the top action in your face rather than focusing on more intimate conflicts with the main characters.

The Matrix Revolutions was released in 2003 and was directed by TheWARNING: Spoilers will be necessary in the main review for me to talk about this movie in the amount of detail I want to. Final verdict will have spoiler-free conclusion
The Matrix Revolutions was released in 2003 and was directed by The Wachowskis. This movie concludes the story arc began in the previous film, Reloaded and the entire trilogy as a whole.
This movie feels like it was a chunk cut out of another film; barely anything happens- resolve the cliffhanger at the end of the previous film, main protagonists split up- some fight robots, others participate in the final fight, the end. This also seems to have a similar story pattern to Return of the Jedi.
Some plot points in the movie seem useless like the bit at the start resolving the cliffhanger of Reloaded. It has no effect on the rest of the story and seems so slapped in and out of place. The new characters introduced in that part are never seen again afterwards and serve no purpose to the story.
Also, many plot points seem rushed: Trinity dies (yes, I did say spoilers) and as she is a major character you would expect it to have more of an effect than what was given; after the scene it never appears to be brought up again.
Some of the action seems off too- the first fight scene between Neo and Smith isn't good. There are loads of flashing lights so you can barely tell what is going on and the camera is really shaky too. Compare it to all of their other fight scenes in the trilogy and you just start to wonder what on earth went wrong there. At least their final fight was alright.
Many people don't like the ending but I personally thought it was fine and probably the best way to end it; Neo's sacrifice seemed fitting and kind of gave him a new reason of being 'The One' for me which I liked.
You can only really watch this movie if you've seen the other two as it is just a conclusion. There also isn't really much point of rewatching it as the point of watching it for me is to just find out the ending and not for the overall experience like the other two.
Overall, this movie isn't that good. If you want to see the conclusion to the Matrix trilogy or that cliffhanger from Reloaded is really bugging you then I'd probably recommend this just to find out what happens and not for the overall experience. However, if you're just wanting to watch any movie at all then this one doesn't have the amount of fun the first two had and I'd probably give it a miss.

Greater vanity and presumption than quality

This film is the end of a trilogy that started very well but ended up derailing quickly. Extremely ambitious and very original, it was difficult to keep the flame burning throughout three films.Greater vanity and presumption than quality

This film is the end of a trilogy that started very well but ended up derailing quickly. Extremely ambitious and very original, it was difficult to keep the flame burning throughout three films. This film, in particular, is the immediate continuation of the action of its predecessor, and suffers from the same problems and flaws, although it is slightly better, in my opinion.

The film continues to look cool and to rely heavily on the style that it created right at the beginning of the film. The action and the strong special, visual and sound effects are still there and continue to make everything look incredible, but it no longer surprises us and it just isn't the same anymore. The same goes for the soundtrack, which no longer has the power I felt in the first two films. The script continues to tell a strange story, but that is still not the problem. The problem is that the film seems to want to bet on everything without actually doing so. And so we have, for example, the Merovingian's reappearance without this bringing any positive additive to the film ie more than a cameo. This is just to give an example of how strange some of the script options were. The film also has a dissonant and uneven rhythm that makes certain parts of the film drag as if they were dying. The actors continue to look good, and I think they seemed to me much more human in this film than in any of its precedents. The problem was some of the dialogues, which just don't make any sense.

I think the directors of the film let themselves be carried away by the success and the recognition and, at a certain moment, they thought they were making a gigantic masterpiece of the cinema, and that this ended up being reflected in the film, giving the feeling that the film wants to be more than it is. And that is always boring. Instead of doing a job that could match the quality of the first film, the directors fell asleep under their own laurels.… Expand

AND THAT'S IT, that is the explanation for a huge plot point and awesome moment is just thrown away, and another bad part is that for a movie called The Matrix they stay very little time in The Matrix they devote an entire 2 hours on the war with the Machines which is just an ugly CGI slopfest that takes you out the film, where they kill off Trinity make Neo blind on the trip to the machine city and has Morpheus do absolutely nothing throughout the film, by the time you actually get to the only redeeming point of the movie you couldn't care less which is a shame to end a trilogy that started off great but ended poorly… Expand

A messy, yet serviceable conclusion to a franchise that probably got far more credit than it ever rightly deserved. Like its predecessors, it boasts some interesting ideas, though places far more emphasis on its action and special effects.

'The Matrix Revolutions' is widely considered to be a weak conclusion to the 'Matrix' franchise. Many criticized the film for feeling like a drawn-out final battle that didn't add anything new to the story.

Many criticized the film for feeling like a drawn-out final battle that didn't add anything new to the story. The film also suffered from being released so closely to its predecessor, 'The Matrix Reloaded,' which received a lukewarm response. While there are some moments of interest in the film, it ultimately fails to live up to the promise of the original 'Matrix' and is best left as a footnote in the franchise's history. A better use of time would be re-watching the groundbreaking and exciting original film.

Se considera que 'The Matrix Revolutions' es una conclusión débil de la franquicia 'Matrix'. Muchos criticaron la película por sentirse como una batalla final prolongada que no agregaba nada nuevo a la historia. La película también sufrió por ser estrenada tan cerca de su predecesora, 'The Matrix Reloaded', que recibió una respuesta poco entusiasta. Si bien hay algunos momentos de interés en la película, finalmente no cumple con la promesa de la 'Matrix' original y es mejor dejarla como una nota al pie de página en la historia de la franquicia. Un mejor uso del tiempo sería volver a ver la innovadora y emocionante película original.… Expand

Awwwww nuts. It's all auld ballcocks after all. Lots of minor characters and half-communicated philosophy and stuff you'd understand if you remembered all continuity ever. It's not a bad movie, but it's nothing like what Awwwww nuts. It's all auld ballcocks after all. Lots of minor characters and half-communicated philosophy and stuff you'd understand if you remembered all continuity ever. It's not a bad movie, but it's nothing like what the capper to a trilogy needs to be. I admire its nihilstic stance, and you'll know what I mean when you see the film. I can't help thinking in the end that this would have worked so much better as a comic book series, as it was originally concieved. Comics just allow for more...breadth, I suppose, than movies do. Stick with the first one, that works great on its own, and watch the other two out of curiosity. The really annoying thing is that this makes Reloaded worse by proxy. I gave it 8 for being a solid middle-episode, but a solid middle-episode depends on a good final episode, and it didn't get it. Nuts to everything anyway.… Expand

[*** Major SPOILERS***] Only read this is you have already seen Matrix Revolutions. I would like to bring back a trend, if a movie sucks at the end when the credits are rolling, don't just sit there in silence, open your mouth and say, [*** Major SPOILERS***] Only read this is you have already seen Matrix Revolutions. I would like to bring back a trend, if a movie sucks at the end when the credits are rolling, don't just sit there in silence, open your mouth and say, "Boo!" Then everyone who walks past "The Matrix Revolutions" will say, "oh my god they are booing it, that movie must suck!" I should have been hesitant about the quality of the film when I saw a crowd of people dressed as neo walking out of the theater looking at the ground, with faces of dismay. Why did MR suck? One...There was nothing more to tell the audience, expect "the war is over" Since that was the only thing that needed to be told the movie was filled to the brim with filler, so the audience would not feel ripped off. How many times do we need to see the Capt. of the ship Naomi was piloting say something like ?dam woman? or ?how did she do that? Two?Neo was not even in half the movie, it just showed how Zion was getting ready for their final battle. The battle for zion was good perhaps the only part of the movie I liked. Three?Why did Neo have to go blind? Was it to help strengthen his new powers? Nope. He could already see agent smith in his true form in the real world and he could already see the squids in the 2nd movie Four?Trinity takes forever to die, the row of people behind me could not stop laughing about how long this death seen was taking. At first you felt bad for her, then after a while you start to check your watch. Five?What was the point of the Trainman, the only thing we could take out of the train station was that the machines wanted peace just as much as the humans, then he waited around till Trinity showed up. … Expand

About halfway through "Revolutions," I realized that there is a clear distinction between a "good" movie and one that is purely exciting on a visceral level. Having such low expectations for the film (after the abysmal "Reloaded"), I found About halfway through "Revolutions," I realized that there is a clear distinction between a "good" movie and one that is purely exciting on a visceral level. Having such low expectations for the film (after the abysmal "Reloaded"), I found myself very much enjoying the third entry. It was then that I realized, that the truth was is that it is purely entertaining, but that it really didn't make any sense and has numerous gaps in logic and plot holes. I also realized that somewhere inside of "Reloaded" and "Revolutions" lies a single good film. After this film, it is clear that the second part could be edited down to a mere twenty minutes and tacked on in place of the opening twenty minutes of "Revolutions," which has absolutely no bearing on the rest of the story. The entire Merovingian subplot in both films is superfluous and only serves to add confusion, not important plot elements. And the ending, well, it doesn't make a lot of sense either, since (***SPOILERS***) the purpose has shifted. In the first film the purpose was to free humanity from slavery, but this ending suggests peace between the machines and man, though the machines rely on humans for an energy source. So in the end, the machines won't attack Zion anymore, but what of the millions of people trapped as machine batteries. There can be no peace, unless the goal is no longer to free humanity, but rather to repopulate the charred planet with the inhabitants of Zion. No explanation, I guess. What it comes down to, is the film is a fun ride, exciting to watch but anytime it tries for an intelligent idea or explanation it fails on every level. Which is a shame, because the balance is exactly what the first film established so brilliantly.… Expand

Ehm... No... The first movie was "just" good enough. They didn't have to make another sequel.. Matrix Reloaded was good, but not good enough. N Matrix Revolution make the story even "worse" that you can imagine. The first Matrix was Ehm... No... The first movie was "just" good enough. They didn't have to make another sequel.. Matrix Reloaded was good, but not good enough. N Matrix Revolution make the story even "worse" that you can imagine. The first Matrix was some kind of real n pretty good action movie, well it had some non-real part, but they arrange it in the right way. Too bad, the sequels made it to change into a too-fictional-fantasy-imaginative movie. The storyline progress increadibly dissapointing, even until the ending.… Expand

I was lost in this movie it hardly made any sense at all.There was a lot less action in this movie then the previous two.It was a terrible ending to what should have been one of the greatest trilogy movies of all time.

Revolutions is the conclusion of the Matrix trilogy.
Although it loses strength compared to the previous two, in my opinion it closes the cycle perfectly.
