  1. No, it doesn't exactly re-create the magic that made the original such an instant classic, but it's faster and more involving than "Reloaded" and it rounds off the premise and themes of the trilogy in a surprisingly satisfying way.

    The trilogy ascends and soars with the two combatants and ends not with a whimper but with a blast of light. Thus the fabulous original film has found an honorable way to sign off. For those who didn't bother to join the early crowds, The Matrix Revolutions is a definite might see.
  3. Ending with neither a bang nor a whimper, the finale falls somewhere in between. It's an improvement over its concurrently shot, babbling predecessor, but it ultimately fails to capture any of that jaw-dropping sense of exhilaration that made the original such a must-see event.
  4. 38
    This (hopefully) final chapter's interminable first hour...showcases some of the clunkiest dialogue and wooden acting since the most recent "Star Wars" movies.

  1. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was so incredible amazing. Doesn't matter if we're hapless within the history for long time of the movies and movies, it's the best final of a trilogy Expand
  2. Definitely the worst of the series. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I've seen all of the movies several times now, and I can safely say that the ending, although it didn't answer every question, was satisfying in its own way. I've done a little bit of research, and I almost understand the way that the Matrix works. I also like to the view the three films as one big chronicle. The first one gives you a shocking concept, the second one shows you what can be done with this concept and gets you thinking even more (the Architect scene, for example), and the third one displays every technical ability that the Wachowskis and the cast members have learned, and mastered. The series as a whole is a stunning achievement. Expand

    Still not as good as the original but better than Reloaded, in itself it would have held up as a good movie but given the standard set by the first movie it doesn't get any better than average. It does round the trilogy off well and closes the storyline as it should. Expand
  4. Should never have been made.

    The original was really fun, but all that cam after are crap... just plain crap.

    What else can you say.... watc
    h The Matrix, forget the rest! Expand
