"Matrix: Retardlotions - my review. *no spoilers*"

I was shocked! I was amazed!

Possibly the worst film I've ever seen at the cinema. Its script doesn't hold together, the narrrative and structure is terrible and the best characters don't even feature that heavily.

I didn't think it was possible for a film to be so coherantly bad, yet this one manages to collect itself into small pieces of crap before ending in a blatent and unspectacular manner. I wish they hadn't made the sequels, the first was so good.

Try and argue that this film was good? I'll let you pass.
Try and argue that this film was great? Your an idiot who knows nothing and likes seeing repetitive rubbish that you cannot understand or follow. It made no sense and argh... I can't go on.

I gave it a chance, I thought I'd actually be quite good. Urgh.

I was shocked. I was amazed.

Darwock: I'm not sure how you spell 'Bain/Bane', but I would have thought that in the context of his character, my spelling would have been more appropriate (the 'bane of humanity' notion etc).

MoJoJoJo: Don't ever use my words again without putting my name before them or I will sue you for copyright. :D

Plus, a general question for all: What did that little girl mean at the end by saying (as she and the Oracle looked at the sunset) that she 'did
it for Neo'? Also, does the peace between humans and machines mean that the Matrix won't need to be reset?

I've thought of so many unanswered questions but I can't remember them right now - some say that this thought-provocation is what the directors intended, I say its because they couldn't tie up the loose ends...

I loved the Matrix, Reloaded was ok, Revolutions was pants. You'll see why when you watch it. There are just too many bits that make you groan.

Top 5 films however: Aliens: directors cut, The Abyss: directors cut, Bladerunner: directors cut, One flew over the Cuckoo's nest and LOTR: Fellowship: directors cut.

Honestly not sure how most of them are directors' cuts but there you go.

I think after the Matrix and several years of waiting people went into see Matrix Reloaded expecting it to be the best thing since toasted bread. Unfortunately some people came out thinking "it was okay, not great" and were a tad disappointed. Now I think either people are going in hoping the third movie will rectify what Reloaded did wrong, or go in thinking it'll be bad but seriously hoping it isn't thus restoring their trust in the creators and then there are those who go in thinking it'll be bad because they were so put off by Reloaded. I have no idea I'd like the 3rd movie to be good if not better than the 2nd and 1st but I do have my reservations (table for two please)

Thankyou for wording that better.

Well, if you want me to determine whether or not you like it, by all means wait for me.

Oops, looks like we jumped the gun people, we have to wait for IB to tell us.

The ending was an anti-climax, but that doesn't make it a bad film. Just because you wanted something else to happen doesn't mean the story becomes bad.

In order to resolve this dispute, I will post my opinion of this movie tomorrow.

I'm the on who doesn't give a toss about all the "how will it end" crap that has been bantered about since the premier of Reloaded.

I, and I alone will determine whether or not this film stinks, and to be honest, having read plenty of reviews - including this one - I'm expecting to thoroughly enjoy it.

Do you use Retard-Lotions? Oh wait, you've already answered my question...

You can defame me all you want, for YES I am a cliched film student with a rather arrogant opinion. Yet this film was bad. Really bad. I'm quite positive most of the people in this forum could have made a better ending.
