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?

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

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.
