When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

For those who might have though that it couldn't get any worse after The Matrix Reloaded, this is unfortunately a very unpleasant surprise. As if things couldn't get any worse in this franchise, The Matrix Revolutions is one of the worst movies ever made.Obviously the first Matrix was a great film which didn't need 'Reloaded' ruining its legacy and 'Revolutions' destroying it. The problems in Reloaded continue in Revolutions. It has the same idiotic subplots with characters that have people playing them that simply cannot act ( The two women trying to take down the machines is the primary example, with one of them being a supposed tough broad with short hair and a tank top. Just a bunch of feministic nonsense to keep the social justice warriors happy ). The machines invading Zion is unfortunately just an ugly grey CGI fest which leaves no visually lasting impression on any objective person. CGI doesn't have to ruin a movie, but it has to be used only when it has to be used, not everytime they feel like taking the easy route while filming a scene, which is what happened here. Besides, filming a giant battle like that in Zion was doomed to fail anyway, since Zion was already the most uninteresting area from 'Reloaded' due to its bleak, ugly, grey cinematography and terrible characters.The Merovingian, the only interesting character added in 'The Matrix Reloaded' was not used at all except for one scene near the beginning which is just an absolute waste of his character potential. Instead we get to see the annoying kid that idolizes Neo saving Zion while one of those two women ofcourse saves him at the very last second. Not sure what the screenplay writer was thinking in this film, but it seems like he was intoxicated most of the time.Finally we have Neo and Trinity taking the journey to machine city. The movie finds a purpose for Smith in being changed into a rogue program being a threat to the machines and the humans. Yeah, it's terrible writing once again, but he needed to have a purpose for the movie to sell since he was the star villain of the first one. In one of the most terrible uses of CGI ever put to film, we have Neo and Smith face off in the end in a 1v1. They fight while flying in mid-air with the CGI graphics of a 1998 videogame. Where is the brilliance of non-CGI athletic choreography that the original had? Nowhere to be seen whatsoever. We also have a useless subplot of someone in the real world being taken over by Smith yet not killing him when he is blinded for two full minutes, resulting in him getting killed himself, which is ofcourse a terrible hero-villain cliché once again. Smith also seems to suffer from this a lot in the final fight. Despite that he is a rogue computer program, he prefers to preach to Neo instead of defeating him. Neo and Trinity die yet we are not sad for them but happy that this agonizing experience is over. If this kind of thing happened in the original it could evoke emotions in the audience, but not after sitting through this bunch of nonsense.In the end there is probably nothing positive i can say about this film, it is just a videogame ( And not a particularly good one i might add ) with terrible CGI and with a bunch of dumb subplots with characters no one cares about that absolutely cannot act. Forget the sequels, stick to the first one.

Starting from the moment the second film ended, this one presents the final part of the war between humans and machines. Struggling between the real world and The Matrix, Neo must do what he believes is right, after a few visits to the Oracle, in his desperate attempt to avoid an imminent human extinction. Between them infiltrates former agent Smith, more powerful than ever, threatening even the mighty machine.This movie brings the conclusion to this trilogy, and, like the others, looking simply gorgeous and featuring impressive combat sequences, while, in contrast, struggling with a story which leaves a lot to wish for. As a disappointment for me, they tend to focus much more on the real world, leaving the Matrix fewer chances to impress you. The finale it brings is also a letdown, but I won't spoil it, just in case. Another complaint I have has to do with the citizens of Zion, which, mostly because of the plot, seem to be as stupid as they are numerous. They are facing extinction, they don't believe in Neo and all they are willing to do is stand there and pray to hell knows who, let alone doing something remotely useful. It's a sad ending to such a franchise, from my perspective, but overall, it isn't a bad movie. You have to see it for yourself.

Like many have stated and has been widely considered, the Matrix film is a classic and has been spawn on and praised for generations. Then comes the Matrix Reloaded which was not quite at the level of the original, but that was expected seeing as how great and game- changing the original was. Though Reloaded is still entertaining and there is enough to like about this film, it continues the great relationships with Neo and Trinity and we still have the same great concept. Now within the third installment and conclusion of the series The Matrix Revolutions, this film has been criticized throughout and one can see why. The film as a whole is disappointing because it does not feel as a typical Matrix film compared to the previous two. Revolutions feels more of a bland video game based film or another completely different type bland action film. In the Matrix Revolutions, what is disappointing is knowing it's the finale of the series, and this is what the directors and writers came up with. There are some okay scenes but this film felt a little more mainstream and family friendly. Another reason why Revolutions is hated is because Neo isn't as focused in this film compared to the previous two. There is far too much time on the other minor characters and in the Zion levels. They simply aren't interesting and we do not care much about them. When we get to those scenes, this film drastically shifts and feels like a video game or action monster type film- and that is not what the Matrix is about. The previous two (specifically the original) were clever, suspenseful and made the viewers on their toes. In Revolutions, the suspense and build up is gone.The final showdown scene with Neo and Agent Smith was decent for what it was, as it was well directed and the special effects are brought in nicely. Though it feels almost bland in a way that this was the pay- off for the entire film. We all knew Neo was going to win, as the fight was well but rather predictable. Overall, the Matrix Revolutions is a disappointment and a sad mess.
