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

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

It's The Matrix, but B-grade. And I like it.

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

The film leaves one important question unanswered. That question is "what the bloody hell just happened?" It's still enjoyable, though.

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.

They lost it! They had something so good to work with, and they give us this? After all the hype? Cool action though. That prevents it from getting 0. Darn you, Wachowski Brothers!

This movie is grand evidence of the finiteness of human ideas -- at least the intellectually bankrupt ideas of the W Brothers -- and how no amount of computer wizardry can save them from their cliched outcomes.

Same old Christian ideas, same old pseudo-Buddhist pap, except made worse due to the most stilted dialogue and stinky acting ever imaginable. Did the Wach. Brothers take dumbass pills after Matrix 1? Or were they kidnapped by a cult and replaced by clones? The "1" rating here is because it's the holiday season, and we're supposed to be in a giving mood. 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. The 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. 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

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

Anakin, "Annie"? This time around, the special effects and action sequences don't offset the weak story, because there is no story. 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". You want to see "The Matrix: Revolutions" because you've seen the ad campaign and it's the number one movie; but popular doesn't mean good, and this is not a good movie. At all. Expand

Wow! I can't believe this movie. Wow is the word really. How can you go from something as truly extraordinary as the Matrix 1 and make this piece of sh.t?

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

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.

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.
