"The Matrix: Revolutions"

Well, it's out and I shall be buying it. "Why?!?" I hear you cry ... well, partly because I have the first two and I like closure and partly because I have the missus' nephews and nieces staying with us most weekends and holidays and a certain amount of my DVD purchases have them in mind.

The nephews (who are both 10) love The Matrix and Reloaded so they'll no doubt want to watch it, much the missus' annoyance.

Revolutions was such a disappointment. The first film I didn't see until it appeared on terrestrial, and I enjoyed it very much. I saw Reloaded at the cinema, and after a dull first half I thought the second more than compensated. Revolutions was like ruining the unruinable. The action sequences weren't as good, there were extra characters needlessly brought in that didn't actually add anything, and the plot was absolutely dire.

Whatever people say, this is *my* opinion of Revolutions.

Average.

I found the "action" sequences very good, breathtaking ecetera, but after a while they got monotounous and slightly boring. I think Keanu Reeve's wasn't putting any effort into his acting (whispering half the time....) and some of the storylines merged into this chapter we're pointless and dampened the spirit on what could of been a good film.

I mean come on, what the hell was the deal with the "train" thing? Or the

"I painted the sky for NEO!!!1!1121!!1!!!"
"Neos dead, son"

Thing?

The final brawl was so long and drawn out.

Muh.

I liked the first.

Yup, there's no disputing that.

The first was brilliant

Is there a link where I can download the MTV spoof?

"Saga"?

The Matrix, The Animatrix, The Matrix Reloaded, MTV Reloaded Spoof, The Matrix Revolutions...? Enter the Matrix? What d'you mean?

The Movie Awards spoof was great, though.

"MORPHEUS! WHAT CAN WE EXPECT AT THIS ORGY?"
"MACHINES!"

My brother was watching the matrix saga... I watched the Ani-matrix, I watched the Matrix, walked out 20 minutes into Reloaded... watched the MTV comedy take on Reloaded... left and returned mid-way through revolutions.

Come on... you can't call it utter toss.

Disappointing and far inferior to the first, yes, but it still delivers a suitable amount of substance to tip it just above average. And those action sequences were nothing less than exhilirating at the cinema.

I feel Revolutions was the better of the two sequels, but as you said, not by a lot.

Now that is an excellent way of describing it.

MAtrix Reloaded was utter toss... Revolutions is slightly better.
