Critic Reviews

William Arnold

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. Read full review

J. Hoberman

No less than the rankest demagogue, The Matrix Revolutions insists on the primacy of faith over knowledge. Once it locks and loads, however, the triumphant visuals short-circuit anything resembling abstract thought. Read full review

Michael Rechtshaffen

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. Read full review

Steven Rea

There are, to be sure, some impressive special effects here, and whoever Warner Bros. hires to make the new Superman movie should take notes. Read full review

Jack Mathews

Unless you're seriously into the post-"Matrix" culture, which includes books, games, animation and interactive Web sites, or you believe the Wachowskis have a philosophy worth wading through, the two-part sequel adds nothing indispensable to the first story. Read full review

Dana Stevens

There is very little that is tantalizing or suspenseful. The feeling of revelation is gone, and many of the teasing implications of "Reloaded" have been abandoned. Read full review

Joe Morgenstern

Smith is only a rogue computer program, but this morbidly dispiriting movie makes him sound like a prophet.

We find Neo (Keanu Reeves) attempting to return to the real world as he is stuck in between, he manages to convince the rest of the do-gooders that he must go to the Machine City (which was a massive disappointment, by the way) where he will end the war, the problem here is that not very many of the main characters take part in the big Zion battle at all, the most prolific being Commander Lock (Harry Lennix) who appeared in 'Reloaded'. Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) is busy speeding towards the city while Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Neo are en route to Machine City. But perhaps the biggest letdown is the underuse of Smith (Hugo Weaving), who is mentioned when Neo is speaking to the Oracle (Mary Alice) as an afterthought but yet he is pivotal to the whole thing, yet his existence is still very much questionable as is the whole point of what we are watching, is it even real? Or is this some other Matrix style dream. While the set pieces are as visually marvellous as they have ever been, especially the battle of Zion, the plot uses all the same devices from other films to try and salvage what is left, a broken love story, a kid who plays hero and sunrise finale which was just overblown for the simple point that it didn't make sense and wasn't approached in the right manner, leaving us alienated to care as little for these characters as possible, Neo was interesting in the first two but takes a back seat to speak vaguely in this one and without much input.
Perhaps it may have been better had it not been filmed back to back with 'Reloaded'. While a fluid and continuing style can be maintained, a complex plot with little sense may have been avoided, instead we have got a satisfying ending, but not this time around.… Expand

A massive letdown, the movie was nothing which made the original such an amazing experience. The final showdown between smith and neo was probably the best part, and it still didn't live up to the originals great fight scenes.

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 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
