Rate Matrix: Revolutions

[Hand of Evil]

5 on the rating scale, what started out as a good franchise, went out limp. Problems in the movie, too many heros, sorry but you can't take the focus from your major story you either have lack of interest in the characters or too much interest that you can't support. Another issue KR CANNOT act, the longer he is on screen the more he sucks.

So, the Matrix needs Viagra?

I gave it a 6 because it had some good points and an okay story if taken on its own. As part of the Matrix mythology set up in the first movie, it blew chunks.

What started as a freedom fight to take back the planet from the machines turned into campfire songs with peace and love all around. Neo and the humans didn't win, all they did was avoid losing.

Hmm think Revolutions is not going to do as well as Reloaded. It's taken Rev 10 days to reach US$100 million, while Rel took 3 days to do that. In fact, in 10 days Reloaded had taken in US$188 mil.

Even worse, Elf is now doing better than Revolutions.

4. The ending with the Oracle and the Architech. Whole thing sucked. Where was Neo?

Ah, you seem to have mistaken this for a standard American movie, when instead ...

Spoiler

this was a messianic movie. Messiahs *die*. It's their role in life. They weren't supposed to have a happily ever after.

I liked the movie.

I thought that the screenwriting was terrible, among other problems
My theory after seeing it was that someone had killed the Wachowski brothers and hidden them under a desk, then made the third movie.
The fight scenes weren't as good, and all of the philosophy was missing, as was the whole mysterious/dark feeling to the movie
corny script, esp when

Spoiler

Trinity died: "I needed you to save me so that the last thing I could say was that I loved you. I love you Neo. repeat process for 5-10 minutes.

Yeah, it sucked, and yes I liked Reloaded

Oh man.. the dialogue was beyond purple. The fight scenes were ok... but it was all that stuff in between that killed it! 5/10 for me. Quite forgettable. Glad it's done with.

Just thought I'd add in my 2 cents here.

I've read multiple Forums's threads on MAtrix Revolutions, and not ONE POST has remotely answered almost any of the multitude of questions I had after seeing Revolutions.
In fact, many posts made me realize there were many more problems than I had caught.

Revolutions was the most disappointing movie I have ever seen in my entire life, and I'm not exaggerating one iota.
And I like Reloaded, and all I expected from Rev was to do more of the same as the first two, except show the reasons for what had passed, and wrap it up.

Revolutions did neither, and actually caused more problems than I would have thought possible
I, too, wonder about the Wachowski Brothers' involvement in this one - it seemed very rushed, uninvolved, and nowhere near the creativity of the first 2.

8. I could go on, but I thought the movie was the weakest of the three. The only good thing was that it showed me, given the proper budget and enough rain and shadows, a Dragonball Z movie could actulaly have a pretty good fight scene (which was proven to a lesser degree in Superman II)

Imagine Christopher Reeves and Terrence Stamp's suprise to find they were making a live action movie version of a manga series that wouldn't be made for another 6 years.

Heh, compared to the often amazingly ambigous and sometimes infuriating endings to shows, this just didn't make it that high on the 'huh?' scale, for me. This wasn't an ending like The Prisoner or Big O, after all.

For these movies, I personally prefer the failure to wrap all things up all nice an tidy. I prefer that some questions be left unanswered, and that we have to actually think about what might have been going on. It makes the whole experience less passive than most movies.
