A story is supposed to have a beginning, a middle and an end.....that is the basic story telling formula that has been around for centuries and it works rather well when used right. The Matrix has a great beginning, a disappointing middle and a turd of an ending, if you can even call it an ending. Movies and books are supposed to provide CLOSURE.

jeez! alright first off, just cuz a movie makes sense, doesnt mean its good, i didnt like it cuz it was 'deep' or whatever, but it does make sense..

and the movie wasnt left open ended, they made peace, what more could u possibly want?

Maybe in the classical sense yeah sure. But movies/books/TEXTS that push boundaries on what society considers is the way things should work do not necessarily work that way. They work in different way. I mean the conecpt in and of itself of questioning reality (basis for the Matrix itself obviously) can be interpreted in many ways, some of which are explored in the movie, others are not. I mean the war ended, peace was reached. What more do you want? I wasn't too happy with the ending at the time but I mean it's not SO bad. People who have high expectations about things shouldn't be disappointed when they are let down when they will be that way no matter what happens. Even if the movie is amazing, if it is not the way they had hoped or expected, it will suck ass.

Most people are unhappy with Revolutions....it clearly was not a good, or even half decent, movie. Great effects sure, but short on everything else, including a good, well thought out script and solid story. Didn't you see the reviews it got?

Reviews? Who gives a fuck? Pfffffffff. If I lived my life by listening to EVERYTHING people say or review I'd get nowhere. If you personally thought it was fucked and have valid reasons that's FINE but there are other people who think differently and there's nothing with that either.

I'm talking about the VAST MAJORITY of reviews...not just the likes of Peter Travers and Roger Ebert. Plus, look at the exit polling and www.imdb.com voting/comments.

I agree, the movie was total rubish. A happy ending, what the hell were they thinking? They should have ended it with Neo waking up as Johnny Utah, with Patrick Swazye standing over him. Now that would have been awesome!

Thanks to Pagoda for that one.

I usually stay out of these topics, but i thought i should offer my thoughts.

I do not know, i found the story to be interesting and enjoyable, through the 3 of them, they each added something and built on each other, and i enjoyed how they let you think, and that not all answers were there. I will agree there was many cheese lines, but i thought the ending was good, it was a ending that made sense, i do not know how else you could have ended it, it was not one of those ending that came out of no where and left you thinking wtf.

But i am looking forward to Last Samuari Now!

Revolutions did provide closure. Neo fulfilled the prophecy. That was the main story from the very beginning. He is the one. He's responsible for bringing peace between man and machine. Everything else is up to you to decide what happens. If thats too mind-numbing then tough.

With the Matrix series, the directors don't tell you what to think; you have to reach that yourself.

And Smitty; most people don't like Revolutions because they set their minds from the beginning to not like it after Reloaded. Yes, there are some who went into it with an open mind; but most people are just following the crowd. Also, you hating this movie because you wasted 10 bucks on it is pathetic.

Um no.....most people didn't like it because it was a bad movie, plain and simple. It doesn't surprise me that you guys like it though. I guess it goes along with the whole 'I have to be different" theme.
