Matrix Revolutions Movie Review
November 06, 2003 | 
42 Comments
Just got back from Matrix Revolutions. I thought it was decent, but then again, I expected it to suck. The friends of mine who went with me seemed to be pretty disappointed and many of them felt it was the worst of the trilogy. I disagree. For the most part I liked Revolutions a little bit better than Reloaded.
The love story was still lame, I still had no particular feeling for Zion (am I the only one who at times want the machines to win?), the dialogue was horrible and much to cheezy. But none of that was new. This stuff has been a staple since the first movie.
There was a bit of a twist, which I thought was done fairly well and the move started and ended pretty strong. It wasn’t overly long and moved at a pretty quick pace. The special effects were good for the most part, better than the first two, and some of the action was pretty darn cool.
I do wish there was more of the Merovingian and the other “programs” in the movie. They tease you a bit in the start but quickly leave those plot-lines for the ever-so-dull-in-comparison Zion. I couldn’t help but wonder how Agent Smith dealt with all of that.
No, the most interesting characters take a back seat to the dull, one dimensional “heroes” of Zion. Not that I’m surprised, it was the same in Reloaded. I did enjoy how the programs were all goth and vampiric, setting up a great contrast to the hippie, tribal feel of Zion.
All in all I thought it was ok, but I’m not a big fan of the Matrix universe and had very low expectations. If you’re like me and expect the worst you’ll probably be pleasantly surprised, if you are expecting something great, don’t be surprised if you leave the theatre a bit bummed.
Oh and if you’re expecting some great philosophical revelation or some profound message, forget it, it’s not there. Thank goodness. Reloaded had me a bit worried on that one.
If you do leave feeling like you got ripped off, my advice is to check out Equilibrium or Dark City, two movies in a similar vein that in my opinion are quite a bit better than all the Matrix movies.
My rating: 3 out of 5.

interestingly enough, i’ve just recently re-watched both equilibrium and dark city (and i’m always stunned at the crap title sequences on both movies…particularly dark city’s “we knocked this little thing up in after effects last night” thingy).
i’d also add gattaca as a perfect companion to equilibrium to the list…
but yes, i’m going to go see this eventually, but was extremely underwhelmed by reloaded as well (although you do realise that now we’ll both be accused of “not getting it” by the fanboys)

It’s funny. I just got back from the movie myself (down here in oz), opened up my news reader and saw your post. Agree with most of what you said but I enjoyed the film more that you seem to…guns, martial arts, cool goths, things blowing up and Trinity(!)…what’s not to like? I’m easily pleased that way. Seriously though, hokey scripts and 5cent philosphy aside, the Matrix ought to be given its dues, in terms of the revolution it sparked in special effects, in the way we view action sequences, and in giving Keanu a role he could play. 4 out of 5 from me.

Funny you should say that, because Keanu’s acting is the main reason I think the first Matrix was so much better than the second (he’s much better at acting clueless). I haven’t seend Revolutions yet, but I am pretty sure I’ll enjoy it immensely. I’m not a fanboy in the least, I just think they are good movies. If people wouldn’t put the first movie up on such a pedestal then I think the entire trilogy would be easier to enjoy for what it is: an action movie.

dez - while I agree that Matrix should get some props for the special effects and action, I think many of those props should go to Blade. Didn’t they do much of that stuff first?
Not to mention Blade is one of the most fun action drama’s around. And the sequel didn’t suck.

On first viewing I found the special effects often got in the way the Matrix. I decided to watch it again and found I could ignore the “kewl” effects and simply enjoy it.
I wasn’t enamoured enough to see Reloaded and I haven’t yet decided if I can be bothered with Revolutions. I think apathy is winning out though.
I did like Blade though.

Blade was great, part 2 as well, good point yman.
I’m pretty sure they did some of those action sequences that made the Matrix famous first as well - but I’m not sure. I think they came out around the same time.

hmmm..blade was/is a superb movie, for sure. the sequel, however, felt far too plasticy for me. director del torro simply rehashed far too much of his previous films in this one (it didn’t help that i had seen mimic just days before seeing blade 2). what really made the first one stand out was the amazing look and feel created by stephen norrington, and the perfectly balanced elements of serious drama and dry humour. heck, blade smiled far too much in the sequel… ;)
speaking of norrington: waiting to get “the last minute” (judging by the trailer, the director carried on with the sombre atmosphere and cold stealy visual stylings he explored in blade) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0275468/

I mostly agree. Revolutions was by far a superior film to Reloaded. I think Harry Knowles said something along the lines of ‘Reloaded should have been cut down to 20 minutes and tacked on the front of Revolutions.’ I actually enjoyed Revolutions quite a bit, bad dialogue and some terrible acting for sure, but for the most part I think it was a much better concept than the end of Reloaded left me thinking about.
The main thing that got me was that the Wachoski’s had obviously been watching waaaay too much Dragonball Z before filming that last sequence. I’m pretty sure if you looked at any DBZ episode you’d get an almost identical fight. Something like:
*punch really fast so everything is blurry*
*fly into the air, continue puching so fast that everything is blurry*
*huge explosion*
*someone goes through wall/cliff/ground*
*victor looks smug*
*oh no, loser wasn’t really down and out*
*repeat*

I must say that I must see the movie before drawing any final conclusions, however I thought that ranking these movie is easy. Th Matrix original was clearly the best and Reloaded a close second although some of the mystery was gone from the first. With revolutions there is no tying of all the loose ends. Everything I have read indicates that there won’t be another Matrix movie so why leave us hanging on some many questions that have been pondered by so many of us in chat rooms and web pages. Perhaps I just disappointed that its over and maybe the brothers have future projects in mind to wrap thing up better. Revolutions is a great movie for fans and non-fans alike but one just wonders what happens next after the oracle and architect have their final conversation before the credits roll. What is the little girls purpose. I suppose the writers want to leave it to us to fill in the blanks and I have spent much idle time pondering the outcome. I guess I knew that Neo was the Christ figure and that Smith was the key to the ultimate treaty. A great ride to say the least all I can say is that I am sad it seems to be over with now and I am craving more. I feel i have gone to my favorite resturant and left still hungry.

I went in with low expectations, as I did when I saw Reloaded. Once again, I was pleasantly surprised - I thought it was great!
I agree about the Zion story line - dull, dull, dull. The viewer has no feeling towards Zion.

Whats with the sensitive and sentimental shit man,
like i freaking care about the relationship between neo and trinity, all the girls in the theatre went ” ahhhh can you feel the love between those 2” when Keanu showed again
his true acting skills, he sure can convince a lady.
And what about zion, fuck off with zion, what do i care about zion, its totaly gay, the original matrix was the best. They should had stopped right there.
And what happend to the tuff guy morpheus,
after the original matrix he is a total fag,
running around with a diaper around his ass bitching and moaning all the time.
i compare matrix revolutions with t3.
both where gay and the original ones where the best.

Well, the Matrix was definitely in the trilogy, but Reloaded and Revolutions weren’t so bad after all. I also went with some high expectations but I was not competely disappointed, although the ending had to be better. It didn’t mark the end of the war between the machines and the humans, rather Neo could only stop it. Well, if the machines attack again, then without Neo ann Trinity, Zion is surely going to lose, what with so many soldiers already dead in the war. Also, Neo’s role only started in the second half. I also agree that Morpheus, who taught Neo all the skills, and then Neo became definitely much more powerful than Morpheus himself.
Well, overall I liked the trilogy, but a fourth version is a definite possibility.

I went to see revolutions last saturday and was extremly dissapointed to say the least. For me the whole trilogy has been spoilt. What started off as an original and realistic concept for a film had turned into a joke by the third movie. For me reloaded could have also been very believable AS LONG AS the third movie explained what was going on in a logical manner. Instead the third movie turned into fantasy land with the plot just being silly. We have the token jesture battle for zion with abslotely ridiculous scenes, neo being able to stop sentinals(I thought rather naively that there might be some sort of sensible segestion for that), and ‘the love duo’ flying a ship through all sorts of bombs, sentinals and god knows what else. In the mean time, the dialogue just got more and more cheesy - initially the matrix was about being fucking cool, not cheesy! Quite clearly, the second and third movies could have been integrated into one movie as well. What the hell was that scene with the french guy all about!? The french man says he will never give neo up - trinity gets her gun out and hey presto, end of sub plot! What a load of rubbish, pure time filler just to get the movie length up to two hours. Its a real dissapointment for me because what could have been a classic triology has well and truly felt the wraith of hollywoods money making men in my opinion. Lets pray that they don’t run out of cash and make another movie(i reckon they definately will, judging by the end of revolutions)

I went into the 3rd movie with high expectations and definitely wasn’t disappointed. I think alot of people were disappointed bc they expected some sort of life altering revolutions to come from the conclusion of this totally original and amazing trilogy.The problem is….. they were just movies, cool movies, but just movies none the less…..if you want some sort of quick and easy insight into the nature of man and life go buy a fortune cookie or something…..

I thought part 3 was better than part 2 - but neither really stood up to part 1. They should have stopped there.

Revolution has got to be the biggest joke of a movie ever. I agree with everyone here that the writers basicially ran out of good plot and started pulling stuff from their asses! The dialogue was like watching a low buget 70’s Porn movie. But honestly There was about 5 people that started walking out before the movie ended. By the way they were swearing and cussing i was sure they didn’t like the movie one bit. I personally laughed throught the movie, it felt like a parody not a real sequel.

Revolutions sidestepped the whole plot. They couldn’t resolve anything properly so they diverted our attention, and not very well.

‘Matrix Revolutions’ is a damn cool movie. I give the movie 4 out of 5. Don’t bother to read its reviews on the Internet; a majority of folks have given the movie a ‘thumbs-down’. The hard fact, however, is that ‘Revolutions’ is watchable, at least in parts, if not in whole. I think that a few scenes, characters, and dialogue could have been chucked out; they do more harm than good. Otherwise, if you understand talks about choice, karma, fate, illusion, etc. and appreciate breath-taking special effects, this is just the movie for you. Folks, watch out closely for the scene where Neo fights Agent Smith in falling rain; it’s terrific!

What you all fail to see is that Reloaded and Revolutions aare essentially one movie split into two, to make more money (who can blame them). I suggest watch the both in succession, then post your opinions. As one movie, they get a 5 out of 5 easy, thats the way it should be…

I think the matrix trilogy was a very good movie, espically the matrix revolution. I say this because the story behind the movie is actually mentioned in the Hindu scriputres, the Vedas. The vedas talk about an illusion world known as “maya” hence thats where the Wachosky brothers got the idea of the matrix from. This is how similar it is. In the vedic scriptures, it mentiones that we live in an illusion world, everything is an illusion. The centenals play as the “yakshas”, who are chthonic semi-divine beings, half god and half demon”. The ‘humans’ in the movie all the people including neo are “atma” souls those are the ones within the illusion. And Neo is actually parelel to the still to come 10th avitar of Vishnu “KALKI”. He is the one to come still to this world and destroy the maya and restart a the life again. This happens every 45,000 years. Also the soundtrack music “Navras” is actually really nice. Its at the end, when the credits role. Its a hindu mantra that chants “OM asotoma sad gamaya tamosoma jyotir gamaya, mirtiyumur amritar gamaya, Om shanti shanti shanti” this in english translates to “Lead me from the unreal to the Real
Lead me from the darkness to the Light
Lead me from the temporary to the Eternal”
VERY NICE MOVIE! i like how they used old hindu religious scriptures and fit it into a futuristic era.

Matrix 1 had to be the best because it was the first out and gave us the Matrix, Neo, Morpheus and Trinity. The script and acting was unparalleled. I love out of the box thinking.
Matrix 2 was extremely impressive, again with some great twists (oracle being a benevolent program! and there were 5 others before Neo! Added to this was a new cast of strong characters (Architect, Frenchman, keymaker etc, etc) and non-stop action that would rival any movie. New effects were a nice touch and it was again extremely thought provoking. Who didn’t play the scene with the architect 5-6 times? It was all so fantastic until the end. Neo was able to stop the machines outside the matrix. What the F ** was that. But again he did say that he was able to feel their presence, maybe he had a link into the machine world. Had his powers transcended beyond the matrix? It was a stretch but I could live with this flaw in the picture, hopefully it would be explained in the third movie.
Now to Matrix 3. What an extreme disappointment, please tell me that someone else had written this script. How could we go from two thought provoking action packed movies to this. Everything that made the first and second movie great was missing in the third. There were a couple of key scenes in the matrix reloaded that begged to be revisited. Unfortunately this did not happen .For example when the French man said to Neo that he had survived his predecessors we all hoped that Neo would come back and kick his ass. The Frenchman was marvelous in his arrogance. And what about the scene with the architect, Neo telling him that he had better hope that they do not meet again. So disappointing.
I didn’t like the fact that Neo appeared weak and ordinary. It appeared that Morpheus and Trinity played supporting characters to the people from Zion. The love scene went on too long and the ending fight was a joke, it was something out of dragon ball Z movie - “ If you have young boys you know what I’m talking about“
What I was hoping for,
Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity go back into the matrix and confront the Frenchman and his henchman - big battle seen and they kicks butt.
Neo fights agent smith in a big battle and like the first, agent smith is winning until Neo comes to the realization that he cannot be killed in the matrix. He is not bound by their rules He can change the matrix as he sees fit as Morphs described of another in matrix 1. He is also in the position of controlling Smith who is a program .I would have a scene where Neo incapacitates Smith by sheer thought. In horror, Smith realizes Neos true power its unlimited and he could never defeat him. For his powers are finite.
And last, Neo would confront the architect. He would show the architect that he could shape the matrix as he saw fit and would present to all those plugged in the true reality. It was now their choice – to be destroyed or work together to come up with an alternate source of energy and live in peace.
In conclusion, although my son enjoyed the movie (impressed the CGI), I’m looking for the complete package as was delivered in the first two. i.e. great effects, strong script and good acting. 1 out of 3 doesn’t cut it for me and I cannot believe so many of you have settled for less.
My only hope is that they make a fourth and clean up this mess- it still good be a great ending.

I’m sick of everyone crabbing about how bad Revolutions was. What were you expecting and what wasn’t tied up that you really hoped would be? I’ve seen Equilibrium and it doesn’t compare to any of the Matrix films. I could’ve cared less what happened to Christian Bale and the plot wasn’t all that interesting. The fighting scenes really aren’t that cool either. In Revolutions it was actually sad that Trinity and Neo died. I would like to hear SPECIFICS about why people were SOOO disappointed instead of just the petty bitching that I’m hearing.

Dan Z. - You’re crazy. You actually cared that Trinity died? I couldn’t wait for her to kick! Talk about a plot that “wasn’t all that interesting” the whole love scene, everything about Zion (if our future society is anything like that - kill me now) and the “humans” was boooorrring.
Everyone looked the same, they all acted the same, they liked the same bad techno music (that rave/love scene in reloaded has to be one of the worst ever) – and people wonder why the last two movies fell a bit flat.
The thing is you have to care about Zion for the rest to work and frankly I was hoping the machines would win.
No the only thing interesting were the programs and they were barely in it. You know what would have been interesting?
Showing how Agent Smith took care of the Frenchman and the rest. Now that would have been cool.
They should have left it alone with the first movie.

I’m sorry but all of you seem to have your heads up your butt. well not all of you but for sure 90% of you. the problems you have are silly and your it seems your just tring to find something wrong with it. That is your first problem. maybe you should just read a book.
You want to know how agent smith took care of Frenchmen and everyone else. I think I know how it was done. He stuck his hand in the body and made them him like he did to everyone else. I think thats pretty easy to figure out. as for neo being more powerful then agent smith thats a silly thought as well. If you paid attention agent smith is the opposit of neo and has the same powers neo has. And when he takes the orical he then becomes more powerful.
If you think the story is bad pick up the Bible one of the oldest stories in the world. Its page for page the same story. as was star wars. get it though your heads, its nothing you havent seen before and thats why your all hung up on it. later losers

Folks,
Equilibrium is a B film, B=Bad. Only the actor saves the plot, nothing more.
Dark City is a good film, but it is only sci-fi. Like Third Floor.
Matrix is Philosophy in film.
Use your right muscles.

After watching the movie, first I could NOT believe the thoughts about the movie that came in my mind, I thought that I may be making some mistake..they may be right..
but after thinking too much and viewing other people’s opinions here and all around the web,
I can conclude that what I believe was (is) right. MATRIX III HAS NOT STOOD OUR EXPECTATIONS, B·U·T I *DO NOT* blame them, they made what they thought right. However I know what many of us may have expected, and when the first fight between machines and man started, I thought this is it. But as the movie proceeds, and as the movie ends, we feel unsatisfied.
” We all had thought that the movie will show destruction of all the machines, for that there will be a great war, man will finally win in a real way, and Neo can lead everyone in RE-CREATING WHOLE WORLD, they all will decide to build a new society thereafter… in which man decides to leave the wrong things he is been doing, and decides not to make such machines ever again… and The Matrix will leave an ultimate message for whole world, being the only one of its own kind…
But this didn’t happen… why? I can guess a couple of things but I am not going to write them here since this is merely a ‘comment’. I am even feeling that emotional about the movie that I am thinking (a really stupid idea) that whole the movie should be MADE AGAIN, or at least there should be FOURTH PART. I am even thinking that A GROUP OF PEOPLE LIKE ME SHOULD BE BUILT, and we should request them to solve the issue somehow (Oh man this is driving me mad!). Anyway, I even can not give the final answer. But if anyone agree to my thoughts and has anything to say, mail me at shekhar_extreme@yahoo.com, and if such a group exists, I really will to join….
The Matrix remains unconcluded…

any one seen the MTV awards send up of Matrix reloaded? It was more enjoyable than watching the actual Matrix movies. Does anyone know what grass the director and script writers were smoking when they came up with these sequels?
Vis-a-vis the acting.. All should’ve died in the first movie especially Morpheous.
Ergo he was allowed to continue
They continued to move around lilliputain issues!

What to say about this movie…? what to say. Well for a start there was infact, a minor improvement from the previous Matrix installment: The fighting scenes were not “as” pontless as Reloaded’s. Neo in the second film, basically, has some fun beating around a hundred agent smiths for nothing more than a days training practice… then ends by listening to a man repeat himself about ten times using different sentences.
Neo was the ONE! He could have flown off at any moment,in any fight scene, or perhaps dematerialised the Smiths completely. You do not position one of that stature as a key role in a film!! Or any work of fiction! Pure evil, pure good, only work off stage.
Another interesting fact about the two sequels is the apparent dismissal of the first movie’s main premise. Destroying the Matrix!! What does Revolutions resolve? Oh yes.. a bunch of battery men can be freed if they want to… and no more pointless fighting between machine and man…
Agent Smith deteriorated from the extremely dominant and omnipotent character, backed up in his efforts by the Entire matrix system, to a kind of virus on the run, that bears a grudge for other programms. This entirely degrades his effectiveness and presence as the symbolic villain! The oracle: a mysterious and mystical character with a look of knowingness behind her eyes. Turns out to be… a programme. What better way to SMASH the magic created in the first movie by her presence!
Well if I had to demsonstrate how bad this movie was I would have to destroy the keyboard and monitor infront of me to relieve my stress.
What a trajic downfall of such a potentially inspirational trilogy. I think I’ll pull an “Star Wars Episode 1” in other words, forget it existed to restore my respect for the first film which was ,lets face it, an inspirational and spiritual experience.

When i watched the first matrix, i didnt leave the theatre saying, “wow i am so enlightened”. Rather, i said “wow, those fight sequences are fucking cool”. Upon exiting the theatre the second time i didn’t say “oh man, i wish it were more enlightening”, i said “wow, that car chase was fucking cool”. I believe i am in the right mindset to watch these movies and i think some of you are looking for the wrong things. By the way, to that ass hole who posted the “ergo”, that’s not a word, its “herego”.

Overall Revolutions was very well done. The ending was disappointing, but I kind of felt it left an opening for another matrix in the future. The oracle suspects a return and I hope we all get to see Neo fight again when new technology is created, available for some really unbelievable kick-ass scenes. I have never been so desperate to see a 4th Matrix!

WHOA, LOL. I’m just going to say this.
The first matrix movie was the tightest movie of all. After seeing the third and “Final”, so they say, should have never been created. Or, it should have, but resolved all our questions from the second movie. The second matrix movie, “Matrix Reloaded” gave us a more questions, and a hope that zion would be freed from the machines (A new world rebuilt).
The third matrix movie left a lot open, especially at the ending. It had no true concrete plot, and didn’t incorporate much from the second movie, at all. Foremost, I must say the love seem was sad, and they should have left Trinity alive. At the ending of the movie there were questions, BIG QUESTIONS, and a major plot left open for a possible fourth matrix. First, even though Neo’s spirit supposedly exploded and destroyed Agent smith and his copies, at the end it show the Master Sentinel (Or whatever the fuck you call that big thing, carrying his body away) What happened to Neo? Is he still alive?
The people of Zion, Niobe, Morpheous, everyone, what of them, can they rebuild? What of the machines? They are still using humans are batteries, the people of zion (Last survivors of the human race), how can the expand and salvage everything that was taken from them by the machines, when the machines still exist?
How long can they peace truly last? What of the oracle and the little girl? “Where there is a beginning, there must be an end” What is that quote truly suppose to mean? Will there be an ending to the machines?
All i’m saying is that all matrix fans in the world should unite and command the Wachoski Brothers to make a fourth and final matrix, and answer all our questions. The fourth matrix should have the war restarting. They should have the Oracle some how being able to find Neo, and bring him back. Morpheous and Niobe should Join Neo in trying to defeat the machines, and bring them to an end.
Like in one of the previous posts, forgot who it was, but somebody said something about the world being rebuilt and the humans learning from their mistakes.
I think there should be a MASSIVE battle between a master sentinel that controls all the machines, and Neo.
Anyway, I hope they make a fourth matrix, and I think they will.

First, even though Neo’s spirit supposedly exploded and destroyed Agent smith and his copies, at the end it show the Master Sentinel (Or whatever the fuck you call that big thing, carrying his body away) What happened to Neo? Is he still alive?
The people of Zion, Niobe, Morpheous, everyone, what of them, can they rebuild? What of the machines? They are still using humans are batteries, the people of zion (Last survivors of the human race), how can the expand and salvage everything that was taken from them by the machines, when the machines still exist?
How long can they peace truly last? What of the oracle and the little girl? “Where there is a beginning, there must be an end” What is that quote truly suppose to mean? Will there be an ending to the machines?
All i’m saying is that all matrix fans in the world should unite and command the Wachoski Brothers to make a fourth and final matrix, and answer all our questions. The fourth matrix should have the war restarting. They should have the Oracle some how being able to find Neo, and bring him back. Morpheous and Niobe should Join Neo in trying to defeat the machines, and bring them to an end.
Like in one of the previous posts, forgot who it was, but somebody said something about the world being rebuilt and the humans learning from their mistakes.
I think there should be a MASSIVE battle between a master sentinel that controls all the machines, and Neo.
Anyway, I hope they make a fourth matrix, and I think they will.

The first matrix was a great movie, the second was entertaining, maybe a bit too much, certain fights were not necessary, but the third episode was more of a boring Stargate episode (you noticed the redundancy) filled with dialogues ‘a la’ Monty Python. IT even became funny to listen to the badly delivered pseudo-biblical messages. This movie literally spoofed itself. If the first one deserves a 5 out of 5, the second would probably deserve a 4, that one deserves a 1. This episode has been rushed. The plot has been sacrificed for special effects. I would not say it was as ridiculous as ‘The league of Extraordinary Gentlemen’, but I am tempted.

*sigh* A thing that started so good, ended this bad. It’s like the Brothers went like: “Hey, we can earn money with sequels to this movie!” “You’re right! Lets craft some quick scripts that doesnt make sence and hope for the best!”
This was hopefully the last entry in the serie. Matrix Recycled would be a proper name for the movie!

In many ways I feel they should have stopped after the first Matrix. It really was perfect. It left you thinking.
Having said that, I think that the Brothers have opened a can of worms by making sequels. When do you stop? As cheesey as the sequels were there are still unanswered questions. Are Neo and Trinity really dead? They came back to life in the first two, you want me to believe they are dead now? I can’t believe Trinity is dead since there is so much foreshadowing in Reloaded about her always being with Neo. In spirit together or what?? What about the rest of Zion? I also feel the sequels did great disservice to Trinity’s character. The Brothers need to restore her if only to give her some dignity back. I am sure no one can disagree that she was “kick butt” cool in the first Matrix. But she lost some of that come the pathetic way she dies in Revolutions. Any other thoughts?

Kinda enjoyed Matrix I. Thought Matrix II left a bad taste (i.e. the ending) and Revolutions was just plain dumb… to me. It felt like the entire 3rd sequel was a complete waste of time.
One comment I agree with was that Keanu is great at acting clueless! Heh.
Conclusion: Matrix the concept - cool. Matrix the 2nd & 3rd movie - left much to be desired.

I think that you have to look at the movies like this: the first one is amazing, the concept is cool and more importantly new, the second and third movie as a movie alone can never stand up to the first one because the concept is old, and its meant to be more plot driven, I thought the second movie was good for the most part, but the scene with so many agents was just stupid and the movie was to long and the ending sucked, the third one was cool and it really was a triligy the second and third movie came so close together and so long after the first one, it was a complete story, more of a book series then movies, which is cool in its own way. So in conclusion you want to watch one movie see the first one you want to watch 3 watch them back to back and understand all the cool concepts in them, as a last note, check out the animatrix, was really cool and anwsered alot of questions after only seeing the first one, I would say buying the box set on dvd when it comes out and watching all four movies as a whole would be the way to do it, just have to have the patience to sit down that long. peace.
