    All you could hope for from a summer movie: dazzling action, jaw-dropping effects, cool clothes, steamy romance and more of the nifty "Matrix" mythology introduced in the 1999 original.

    Unlike "The Matrix," all fights and stunts -- including a 14-minute freeway chase -- have a disturbing tendency to repeat intricately choreographed action. Thus, computer technology and overkill supplant the ingenuity of the original film's action.

    As messy and flat-footed as its predecessor is nimble and shapely. It's an ugly, bloated, repetitive movie that builds to a punch line that should have come an hour earlier (at least).

    This movie is outstanding. Its the perfect link between the first and second. It had a good amount of fight scenes and it teaches the viewer alot about the meaning behind the matrix and the plot. Unlike the last one, its about [spoiler] Neo just realising what he is doing in the matrix, which was clear from the start. To much time talking in metaphors and not enough actually fighting (except for the last bit) [END SPOILER] Whilst in the first one, it was average as you werent sure if it had a cliffhanger ending or not. It didnt answer enough questions to finish it off as a series, but it asked alot of questions which kept it going. Considering it was made in the late 90's and had roughly a 4 or 5 year gap between the 2.… Expand

    Not very good, sorry. The first one was unbelievable, but with this one it almost betrays the first one. Neo is way overpowered making it less fun, the settings are creative but hideous, and the action is so cheesy it's not even like the first one, though some parts definitely are. It at least provides a good enough time to be worth renting, maybe not to own.… Expand

    Sorry for the cut and paste--I"m lazy, but still honest (this is my Matrix Revolutions review--somehow it holds true) Should never have been made. The original was really fun, but all that came after are crap... just plain crap. What else can you say.... watch The Matrix, forget the rest!… Expand
