Not lookin' good here folks. Okay, so for anyone who has seen it yet, do you agree with these criticisms? Was this last movie really a "thud"? I'm inclined to think that these critics just didn't bother to see the intricate symbolism and undertones this trilogy has, but I'm can't underestimate ALL of these critics like that.

Your thoughts?

watch the trailer, it blows.. if the trailer is any indication i agree with the critics.

I think it might blow i might go see it today

I thought that reloaded blew also very boring and too animated
Its not about the matrix its about special effects

Seen it, there is basically no symbolism and/or undertones. The matrix doesn't have a deeper meaning. THe artilce off another forum that says the matrix is plato's cave is full of shit.

It's enjoyable and exactly what it said it was, but it's not as deep as we all were lead to believe.

Yes I was @ the premier @ 1am my time

lol i havent seen reloaded and have no desire to see this

it will only make me hate the trilogy, right now, after seeing only the first one, i am pretty indiferent

Misteropus ... trying to crush the dreams of internet dorks across all of TA.

I laughed out loud at this one review:

"Please someone, get me the blue pill. I want to forget that this ambitious and noteworthy series is ending so weakly."

Hey, I wouldn't have posted this stuff had my hopes not been crushed a little bit as well. I wanted so desperately to believe in deeper meanings, but it looks like it all went to sh$t.

Be that as it may, I'll still give my hard earned $ to see it.

The whole movie I was looking 4 deeper items, in the end I was like WTF. I've made 3 obvious bit of symbolisim, nothing a 4 year old kid couldn't get tho. Plot, there is not plot. They crafted it it in a way that the largest ammount of people would get and like. Nothing for someone who wants to look past pretty graphics.

A shame.

lol very funny

where are all the idiots who defended 2nd movie, excusing its suckyness by predicting the directors were saving the best for the last. This movie could be as bad as Gili and ppl will still run to see it cause all the hype and marketing behind it. I luved the 1st movie, too bad these guys just road on the coat tails of its success. I'm not goin to see this crap, saving my money for Return of the King. All hail Peter Jackson!

LOL i am not surprised by the crappy reviews, afterall reloaded was absolute garbage how can they make revolutions any better only releasing it only after 6 months...this is one movie im not gonna see

My thoughts exactly. Reloaded indeed was CRAP....and this will be no exception

I've just got back from seeing it. I partially agree with bad reviews. There were some very weak areas.

ba-hambug

i also completely agree with the bad reviews....

...i think the wachowskis were on some serious drugs when they came up with the sequels for the matrix.

I thought reloaded was good. It couldn't really continue to explore the Baudrillardian themes it did in the first without getting too overtly philosophical. The second installation explored issues of free will and The machines' inability to comprehend it. There was some great symbolism if you think about it... I used to thik I had pretty original views of the matrix films until i ran accross this site http://www.siliconyogi.com/andreas/...eloaded-118.htm

saw this tonight, lets just say the trailer should be playing "DJ Sammy - Heaven"

i read the usa today review. it was really stupid. they just make fun of the movie. i saw it last night and thought it was really good. although the ending was kind of eh, oh well ya know, it had to end somehow. either way, i think the critics are unhappy because these two matrix sequels were not as mind blowing as the first one. its hard to redo what the first one did, as i remember the first time watching it, wondering what the fuck happened and thikning it was really fucking cool at the same time. either way, i think this trilogy was great. if it came out all at once, i think there would be differetn reactions, but like i said, it is hard to create the "ahh" and mind blowingness (if that is even a word) that the first one created

Although all reports suggest that Matrix Revolutions is the end of the line for this series, a movie reviewer suggested today in an article that the movie leaves open the possibility for a fourth instalment. What he went on to say is that even this movie seems to have the same mystique as Reloaded. That is, not everything seems to be perfectly resolved as people seem to be expecting. Note, I don't actually think another film will be made since the producers, directors, actors have all been adamant that this is the end. But what seems to be disappointing is that the movie may not have come "full circle" as I expected. I watched an interview last night with Keanu Reeves and Jada Pinkett-Smith in Sydney. They were saying how the movie can be interpreted in a number of ways and there is not a single answer to every riddle. Having said this, maybe the fact that Revolutions does not answer all questions means that it will be a recurring case of everyone discussing the movie over and over until they finally realise, "Hey, I think I need to watch the film once again." Maybe this sort of plot makes the movies more intriguing in the first place. So my question to you is, "Would you rather that the movie resolves everything or are you happy to be left with an ending that maybe leaves you slightly in the lurch... leaving some questions unanswered?"

i think they are making more animatrix stuff, so that could answer some of the unanswered questions
