Reader comments: Matrix Revolutions, The
RAMSEY DEWEY | Nov. 29, 2003
I enjoyed this film a lot... not as good as Reloaded, but
that's a tough one to out-do.
My only complaint is the end of the film.
IF YOU LIKE SURPRISES, DON'T READ ON!
It's not killing off some of the heroes of the movie that
bothers me, I applaud that, actually. (it should happen
more often)-- It was however, the Oracle's implication
that Neo might make a comeback that grated on my
conscience. If only she had said, "He's gone! Let it go
already! We're not making another sequel with a plot hole
this wide open."
Oh well, it was still the best movie I've seen since
Reloaded.

Even though I was extremely disapointed, I still will buy
it when the DVD arrives. That kind of places it in my mid-
Saturday afternoon viewing category.....crank up the
surround sound and escape to the right-side of the brain
for just a bit. Send your left-side to watch "A Beautiful
Mind" upstairs in the Kitchen.
The prospects were there, but the vision was lost somewhere
in the availability of toys that were gained from the
accumulation of a larger budget. In my opinion it steps
down a couple of notches from the first one.
The FX were incredible.....Just imagine if the script would
have matched the same quality....oh well, off to buy my
tickets for "The Return of the King!"

So, on a symbolic level, if Neo is Jesus and Agent Smith is
Satan who goes around possessing people, then who are the
machines or the people in Zion? If the machines are gods
and angels, then I don?t like their theology where the gods
kill the people who discover their existence. Mean
vengeful gods. I like happy gods. Yes, the mixed
symbolism was deep in this film. Right down to a blazing,
light cross transposed on Neo at the end. For all that, I
still found myself bored and unattached to the plot or
characters. I stated fantasizing of a better plot and
characters. I was really starting to hope for the machines
to win at the end and put an end to any thoughts for future
spin offs. After all, the machines really do deserve to
win if the humans make these hand held EMP guns but spend
the rest of their time making Robotech armor instead of
making some real big EMP guns to point at the enemy and fry
every electronic circuit that comes through to Zion. You
would think that they would at least have a few EMP bombs
around, besides those on the ships that all blew up, for
those last ditch efforts, but no, bullets and bombs are
much better. I?ve got to go have my own shock therapy
now. I know a few volts always clears up my circuitry.
I?m going to give away the ending now. It?s Neo with the
humans and machines around the VR campfire singing Kombi Ah
My Lord. I know you now hate me for that spoiler but I do
whatever I can to prevent people from seeing mediocre
movies.

This movie blows, but Jeff Vice's reviews are absolutely
awful. I think he's spending so much time jotting down in
his little notebook why a movie is rated why it is
(example: rated R, for profanity, vulgarity, homosexuality,
brief strong language, racial epithets, drugs (a woman
taking aspirin), rap music, masturbatory humor, and a brief
loss of inhibitions) that he doesn't have time to actually
study the film itself. I thought Chris Hicks was bad, but
holy moly. . .

I thought the movie was awesome i love it,the story line
was good but the special effects were amazing i would love
to see it again and i will buy the third movie.
ANDREW MEYER | Nov. 9, 2003
I must say that I don't know anyone that doesn't hate Jeff
Vice. I saw this movie and was in awe the whole time I
watched it. Jeff gave SWAT a better rating than this
show. SWAT. Oh, sorry Jeff, was this show too
entertaining for you? Aren't movies for fun? You make
them seem like homework and grade them. Great movies such
as the Italian Job and Star Wars 1 and 2 arebt good enough
for Jeff either. I can safely say that I am more qualified
to be a movie critic than he is. Everyone hates him, and
he needs to get fired.

I thinl\k it was really cool, specially the little guy with
the sword hw was so cute I want to date date him
DAVID | Nov. 7, 2003
I just got back from seeing this film. Overall, it was
okay. It's too bad that each film got worse and worse. I
wouldn't feel bad if you don't see it. I'd say it's a
great dollar movie. Honestly, I loved Finding Nemo a lot
more.
COLIN LIDDLE | Nov. 7, 2003
Uh, no you didn't understand it, I can tell just by your
review that you didn't understand it. I will go there.
This movie was absolutely amazing, Jeff Vice is a hack.
This film was so great that even the critics didn't
understand it. No film will ever be like this again and
for those who thought the ending was a let-down didn't get
it. It explained everything, yeah, they didn't come out
and just SAY it. The Wachowskis don't dumb it down for
people who don't have an attention span anymore because of
all the mind-numbingly retarded action films such as Bad
Boys 2 and Charlies Angels.
BRAD BOWEN | Nov. 6, 2003
My wife and I both felt this movie was much better than the
poor reviews it has been getting. It was consistent with
the two prior films, had lots of great special effects and
was not predictable. We spent over an hour reading reviews
a couple of hours before we saw the film, and frankly must
disagree with most of the criticisms. Those who can't
understand the story line need to watch 1 and 2 a few more
times. Fans of the first two movies should enjoy this film.
JACOB | Nov. 6, 2003
1.5 stars. Not as impressed as I thought I was going to
be. I agree with other's I've talked with, definitely the
worst one. Oh well can't make em all perfect. Great
special effects but the storyline was blah and boring in
too many areas of the film, and no I understood the movie
so don't even go there!! Morpheus is too hard to listen
to anymore, after 3 movies It's hard to hear
him speak so slowly. Return of the
King and Star Wars Episode 3 will definitely beat this
3rd installment of this movie by far.
ERIC HUGHES | Nov. 6, 2003
This was flat-out the best action movie I have ever seen.
Like its predecessors, it was exciting, intense, and
surprising. I never would have guessed the way this trilogy
ended. What a rush!
JEREMY | Nov. 6, 2003
I'm a huge fan, but had read negative reviews all over the
net so I was expecting the worst. Big surprise - I loved
it! Effects and action were awesome, the story was
interesting, and it kept me on the edge of my seat all the
way to the end. I even liked the ending (which I bet most
will not). I'll see it again soon!
MARK | Nov. 5, 2003
I liked this movie for what it was. I thought the whole
concept of Neo being trapped in a state of limbo was
boring, dragged out, and not needed. The action seens and
graphics were wonderful. The movie is entertaining and
exciting. If you liked Matrix 1 and 2, you should like
this one as well. I do have to say that the ending was
very disapointing and a huge let down.
DAVE | Nov. 5, 2003
Just got done seeing the movie. I think the worst one out
of them all! I was so stoked to see the 3rd installment
but I came away pretty dissapointed. Special effects were
amazing in MOST cases (which makes up about 1 and a 1/2
out of the 2 stars I'm giving this movie), but some areas
were very weak in the special effects department. I'll
still buy it when it comes out on DVD (cuz I don't want to
just own the first 2 and not the last) but I won't see it
again in the theaters. If you haven't seen the movie yet,
wait for it to go to the dollar theater, don't waste your
money.
