Matrix Deceivolutions...
Before I proceed I'm giving zero stars for this movie, there's one just because Amazon doesn't allow zero stars.

There's not much to say about this movie. I think the cheesy dialogue between Morpheus and his ex in the second movie, says it all...

"some things change... some things don't change..."

That's it. Some things change, Hollywood don't! If you have a good movie, with a big audience, then you have to make a sequel, even though you don't have a grasp about how to make it...

I'm not even make an effort to explain why I'm sure the something-chowski brothers didn't know how to finish this "trilogy", it's quite self-evident (and you don't even need to be very smart to know)!

The funny thing is that they didn't even need to know how to finish... They could just have filmed the second one and promise the end for the next year... Then, they could have looked at the lots of suggestions from fans (probably billions spread around the internet, when the second movie began passing) and choose some of the best of them... and make the end... (and I didn't write any - but I've seen many that I considered better than "Revolutions").

By the way, in my humble opinion, the second movie was a great sequel, if we forget an evident plot hole (where did they take the keymaker to? I mean, he was a program, they couldn't bring him to the real world), the fights that never ended (worse than this, there was a moment that one could feel watching a porn movie, where the sex was replaced by fights), etc. Still, a great movie because of the "revelations".

And I'm not saying that I'm feeling coned because, in the end, we didn't have "a good guy wins the battle against bad guys". For me, it could even end with all the machines being destroyed, humanity destroyed, etc, and that would be ok for me (like the end of Planet of the Apes 2 - that is... quite like that, since the "Apes movies" also suffered from this "Hollywood sequel syndrome", but you get my meaning). For instance, just to mention, I didn't like that Lord of the Rings end stuff either...

I didn't feel coned either because some things were never explained (like, for instance, how come Neo could control machines in the "supposed real world"?). Actually, if there was some element of magic in the original movie, or other approaches, things wouldn't need to be explained, and that would be ok for me too.

The coning things here is that all that "philosophy" in the first movie became "garbage" in the last one... Things like... "One needs to know oneself", "you need to make the choice", "I made the choice, but I don't understand it"... Man, what a crap!! And that Merovingian? There was a lot of speculation that he could even be and old "the one" (because of the number in his place), he looked to be powerful in the second, then in this one... I will not even continue, if one take a look at the others 1 and 2 stars reviews here, then one will see the lots of trash things around this movie.

Other disappointment is that they were thinking that the "fans" wouldn't be reduced drastically after this one... Since the movie ends with a talk that suggest another "trilogy". Well, they can make it, I will not be in the theater this time, nor my friends, nor other people that went to the theaters expecting something more than a "video-game-special-fx-plus-new-fx-plus-new-fx no-story-though" movie!

My suggestion is: don't buy this DVD, nor rent it! Let us make the producers know that they could have gained a lot of money if they didn't deceive us.

PS1. Ah, I was forgetting... someone, somewhere, said that the trouble with us "betraying fans" is that we "didn't understand" things... After all, we just watched Matrix 1 and 2 several times, watched the animatrix just sometimes, spent just some time reading about the philosophy in the first movie, and some of us are just math phd students (we're just intelligent guys but not genius!)... We didn't play the game (!), we didn't buy matrix t-shirts (!), we didn't brush our teeth with "matrix toothbrush" (!), and we didn't play with matrix action figure toys (!)... Therefore, how could we get the "matrix feeling", how could we "get embedded and in resonance" with ultra-super-hyper-uber blowing-mind-mythical-brilliance superior-genial-intelligence of the bros-chowiskis?! Maybe that's why we didn't like this last movie! We "just didn't understand it", "we're guys that only understand popcorn movies", that's "our problem"...

PS2. Hahahah for PS1. Guys, ok, you liked it... but please, stop insulting the intelligence of other guys that saw clearly that there's nothing special about this movie! This movie could be nice for guys that like to see someone playing video-games. For me it isn't, I like video-games, but I like to play myself.

exciting but unenlightening
I thought The Matrix was one of the best films I'd ever seen and was extremely disappointed with the second film; I came to this last instalment with low expectations but a desire for closure, and was pleasantly surprised.

The film is not as talky as the second nor as deep as the first, but it does have some exquisite graphics. However, the action scenes often go on way too long, the Anderson-Smith fight is nothing new, and ultimately I learned nothing new about the philosophy of the Matrix in either of the second two movies.

I was very disappointed that all the talk-talk-talk with the Frenchman and the Architect came to nothing in this film, and especially that we NEVER visit or even see the Matrix again. I expected we would see, or even hear about, all the people being freed from their artificial pods, but instead we spend all of our time in Zion or the machine city. Also, there are some fine moments and good acting, though we don't see Neo and Trinity enough.

Managing to walk that fine line between exciting and downright unilluminating, the Brothers Wachowski's final instalment doesn't suck energy out of the universe, but doesn't add any either.

Highly Dissapointed
It's really quite simple, The Matrix coulda been the best film trilogy ever, instead the Wachowski Brothers decided to sellout and go the commercial route. Nice and Simple.
