It's sad when so many films with actual plots are relegated to the netherland of metacritic's red zone while this film is allowed to float free of the critical panning it deserved. This film is nothing more than an attempt to cover It's sad when so many films with actual plots are relegated to the netherland of metacritic's red zone while this film is allowed to float free of the critical panning it deserved. This film is nothing more than an attempt to cover a lack of meaning with the trappings of a search for esoteric knowledge, all the while hoping to deaden its audience to the truth of its vapidity by inundating the senses with impressive special effects. 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

Rather than sticking to the roots of the original two in the trilogy that we oh-so-love, it tried something different. And (out of misfortune) the thing that they tried different happened to be the thing the producers, directors, and writers suck most at. The dialouge is dissapointing, the action scenes would be better fit for the Transformers movie (with the exception of the first and the last), and it doesn't leave me feeling like The Matrix trilogy left with the bang it started with. With all my complaints, however, The Matrix Revoloutions is still a fun movie, but will no doubt leave you yearning for something more.… 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 lines in this movie are some of the worst I have ever heard "why are you using your hands mommy?" 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 lines in this movie are some of the worst I have ever heard "why are you using your hands mommy?" "Because cookies need love too". My head wanted to explode. 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

Like 'Blade Runner' and '2001: A Space Odyssey' before it, 'The Matrix Revolutions' manages to say the things that are so difficult to say. Yes, there is action. Yes, there is spectacle. But beneath the jaw-dropping action sequences and the beautifully surreal art direction is a movie that questions the foundations of life, love and reality to a fundamental core that the more superficial first movie could never even touch. A masterwork to be rediscovered in generations to come.… Expand

No, it doesn't touch the classic original, but this movie is very underatted. the final fight scene, yes it was a Dragonball Z rip-oof, but it was so brilliantly captured and shot, I could't care. And the score was brilliant.

And the score was brilliant. The dialogue was stilted, yes, but the story has some good thought behind it (besides the annoying Neo=Jesus symbolism) and the effects and sound quality were quite good. Although I do agree it could've spent much less time in Zion and more in the Matrix. Overall, it doesn't touch the original, but one can't help but feel this suffered due to high expectations of the first, like Godfather 3.… Expand

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

How can you go from something as truly extraordinary as the Matrix 1 and make this piece of sh.t? The Matrix 1 was full of ground-breaking special effects, had a deep plot, and had many religious (it seems mostly Buddhist to me) overtones. Matrix fans prepare to be disappointed. 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. ("Safe.......but for how long!?!?!?!" *oh brother*). They should have ended the series and had it DONE with. Its just another example of a hollywood cash cow mooing it up for more money.… Expand

Weren't those mechanical octopuses the least interesting aspect of the original "Matrix"? If you want to see a fun sci-fi movie, look for South Korea's "Save the Green Planet".

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

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.

We've been given all the ideas the Wachowskis wanted us to have, and this movie is solely about showing this final battle and the fate of Neo, the Matrix, and Zion. Don't expect something as innovative as the first "Matrix" ... it'll be awhile before something bends the action genre as much as that movie did. But "Revolutions," itself, is a remarkable action movie. What amazing visions it gives us; what a world this film has created for the mind and imagination. You do not criticize a war film for straight action, and you cannot criticize this movie either for that reason. Sure, it's gotten a little silly by now, and we could care less about Neo and Trinity's romance, but I doubt we'll see another movie this visionary for quite some time.… Expand
