OK, I might as well wrte this while the film is fresh on my mind. Revolutions ended about 20 minutes ago.
I am baffled how the Wach Bros can go from making a solid engrossing film like the original and turn the entire trilogy into a parody with the last two parts, especially Revolutions.
I really wanted to like this movie. I liked the second more than most other people, but this third one made it hard to enjoy. I don't know people bitched that it didn't solve anything. Revolutions did close the trilogy, but left too many things unanswered. It's almost as if the Wach Bros didn't know what to do after the complex explanations given in Reloaded, so they just simplified everything or just plain ignored them.
Next time I'll wait till it comes on TBS.
****SPOILERS BELOW****
Some negative points:
1. I felt like I was watching a fucking video game.
2. Morpheus was in the movie for about 15 minutes, and looks like he's ben drinking too much beer when not battling sentinels or spouting his mumbo-jumbo
3. Trinity was in the movie for about 20 minutes, and had about 10 lines.
4. They used a different chick as The Oracle, since the original one died before filming. That's not my complaint. My complaint is the way the Wach Bros decided to use that in the film. Dumb.
5. The little girl was the most annoying kid in a movie this side of Haley Joel Osment in Sixth Sense. Even McCauley Culkin was less annoying.
6. THe fight between Neo and Smith, like mentioned above, was straight out of Superman II, except that Superman II didn't look fake.
7. Monica Bellucci was only in it for 2 minutes, but damn, what a rack. Also, she can't act. She'd do best just letting her tits do the acting.
8. Why did Smith all of a sudden turn into a fucking wimp before his death.
9. If I was one of the rebels, I would have choked The Oracle a long time ago. FUCKING GIVE ANSWERS OR SHUT-UP!
10. The script is awful. All the writer did was intersperse one word questions with a bunch of hullabaloo. Example:
"I need your ship"
"Why?"
"I can't explain it"
"What?"
"Just something I feel?"
"What is it?"
"I can't tell you."
"Why?"
"It's complicated."
"What is?"
"My purpose."
"How is it complicated?"
"It just is"
"Why?"
"Because I feel it"
"How?"
"I just do"
"But how?"
"I just do"
"But how YOU FUCKER!"
.......
UGH!
11. The Merovingian was in it for 2 minutes and you can't understand a damn word. And he gave up too easily.
12. Jada Pinckett might as well have been cardboard with her lines being played from my answering machine. What a wooden actress.
Some positive points:
1. Monica Bellucci's rack.
2. No rave scene.
3. My milk duds were great.
4. I stayed awake.
5. The fight scene in Zion.
6. I rented it at a discount.
