"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.

Agreed with snuggly, and the best fight scene from any of the films, for me, would have to be the stairwell one from reloaded.

I would rate them in the following order (top being best) :

The Matrix
Matrix Revolutions
Matrix Reloaded

This is because the second two, although great, had large gaps of complete crap, where as the first one was superb start to finish.

Oh yes.

what? Revolutions? they made a sequel?

I was under the impression that The Matrix was a one-off piece of cinematic brilliance...no sequels at all.

The second spoilt it and put me off even watching the third one

To me the Matrix will always be a single stand-alone film without rubbish cash-ins.

Yeah, bit of an anticlimax.
"I'm god here" or whatever
"So what will I do? Run away! I don't want to fight all that much!"

Had they made a fight of it, and neo made his OWN way out (I mean, he is THE ONE, he should be able to do it) then it would have been great.

Anyway, i bought this today with Oceans eleven, so tommorrow I'm having a trilogy sit in.

Do you mean the chateau fight when you say the stairwell fight...?

Anyhoo, bought it today for £15.99 with the Animatrix for an extra £5.99 (been meaning to get that for a while).

Can't help but love the Hellclub fight. Short, but very sweet...

Haven't yet put the second disc in, but I was pleased to see they've put trailers for all 3 Matrix films on the first disc :D

Yes, I knew Smith had taken over the Oracle, but it was STILL just Neo/Smith. We knew Neo was the one, therefore he was unstoppable.

Yeah me too. I always go to Tesco and see what price they have it at and then if its cheaper or the same price I get it, if not and I usually buy online.

What? That was terrible!

Entirely in slow motion and no sense of intensity.

I watched Revolutions last night, and I loved every minute of it, just like when I saw it in the cinema.

MAybe I'm the only one, but I think all three films are top, even though they all have their silly bits....
