You knew someone had to do it.
Since this has already bled onto the tagboard, I figured i'd post a thread to see how everyone felt about the third Matrix movie.

I am hoping for alternate endings in the dvd. I liked this movie quite a bit. I could have wished for a little more "matrix" style fighting like was done in the first ones, but there was plenty of good blow-em-up scenes to make up for it. I really really liked the gun machines that the humans controlled which they used to fight off the incoming bug-machines. I liked the massive swarms of machines too... like a flock of birds all moving in unison.
Also the 2 gals runnin around with the rocket launcher were kick-ass! Of course, my favorite gal Trinity made the entire movie worth watching even if there were no one else in it.

The effects were great but i was dissapointed in the story esp the ending !
And how the hell can somebody give a whole goodbye speech with three tires through her stomach and not be in immense pain? *shakes head* But it was better then the second part !
They say it’s the last song
They don’t know us, you see

Great special effects, awesome fight scenes, great cinematics, and a complete lack of plot as far as I could tell. A bit of a disappointment for me as I was hoping they could live up to the first one while saying they couldn't the whole time. Why did they have to make me, of all people, right?
I think what got on my nerves the most was Neo and Trinity being SUPER DENSE about Mr. Smith being outside the Matrix. They should have caught that at the first Mr. Anderson.

Too bad the poor review "spoiled" it for me. I read some that were so harsh, I would rather presrve the dream of the Matrix than subject my sci-fi romantic disposition to disappointment.
Speaking of good sci-fi, have you guys heard that they are re-intruducing the beloved Battlestar Galactica?? I am so looking forward to the resurrection of that gem. I think it is supposed to air sometime around the second week in December. Set your TiVo, yo....not to be missed.
Hmmm...upgrades. -Neo

Revolutions made me ashamed to be me. When so many of my mates were slating Reloaded, I staunchly stood by it. After all, Reloaded and Revolutions were, essentially, one big story. They were just split down the middle. So all the little things that might not have quite rung true, the confusing bits, all of that, they'd be resolved in Revolutions. You have to see part three, I was saying, before you can judge part two.
And then I saw Revolutions. And it was poo.
Scant plot. Scenes that stretched on for no reason. Entire elements of the plot that had no bearing on the film. Questions left unanswered or, worse, answered in the stupidest manner possible (how can Neo do those things in the real world? The power of the One stretches from him to the Source. What kind of answer is that?) The ending was stupid.
I still stand by the first two films. I just think that Revolutions needs an overhaul. A serious, serious overhaul.

I joked that because no one understood the second movie, they had to beat obvious points like this over the head.
I liked Revolutions. It didn't have the aimlessness the first half of Reloaded did, and had some excellent action sequences.
While everyone says the battle for Zion was a Star Wars rip-off, I thought it was exactly like the Battle of Helmsdeep from The Two Towers.

I so agree! I like the fact that there was a lot of time spent on people who we're not the "Main" characters.
You think I look good now, wait till you see me in my new "Browncoat T-shirt"

This last installment seemed thematically a little slight. It really didn't go anywhere surprising. Nothing was revealed that wasn't dead obvious from Reloaded. See, I really liked the second one. I thought the philosophical parts were pretty sophisticated in a buddhist sort of way and the action scenes were phenomenal and important to the plot.
Revolutions really felt like the last ten minutes of a really amazing movie stretched over two hours. *spoiler* I found Trinity's death and resurrection in the second movie powerful and beautiful and her death in this installment seemed hollow and obligatory.
I did like the defending the dock stuff a lot though and Niobe's piloting was great. In fact, I really liked the whole damn thing when I think of it except Neo going to the machine city and his fight with Smith. Oh yeah, and Neo being blinded was totally lame and meaningless.
