Matrix : revolution - Review by yours truly !

[SSJKarma]

well, for the fan of the matrix, i won't tell the story nor will i say much about any real punch in the movie !

but i will say what i think of what i saw up to now.
here goes...

i must say that i was hoping to see that movie and conclude the story. but i was obviously putting th emovie to a too high level. the movie is like about 160 minutes. on that only 20 minutes happens in the matrix ! basically all the action is outside of the matrix because of the multitude of sentinels coming out for scion !

based myself onthe two, i rather prefered the two for its awesome action. the third was just not up to that challenge ! don't get me wrong, the movie is awesome in itself, but really the fact that it wasn't happenning most of the time in the matrix really diminished my view on this !

really, the ending is kinda cool also, but really, i was hoping for the heroes not to die. that would have been better i think !

overall great movie, but where i would have given the second a high grade, i cannot do the same for the third !

1 = 8 / 10
2 = 9 / 10
3 = 6 / 10

the action was great an all, but i didn't get the same feeling as the first two and not at all !
plus there were thigns that i found pretty stupid that hapenned, not gonna tell tho, ya will have to see the movie and then we'll talk !

thanks for readin this review, but i warn you, this opinion may differ form all of you, but i don't care its my opinion and i don't need anyone telling me i'm stupid or anything.

so no flaming, no dissing just review of how you liked the movie !

[marvel911]

I've only saw the first one...and thats not saying much because I didnt think much of it. So, after watching the first Matrix, that totally made me not even care about the second..So I never saw that one either, sure I was told it was good..just like this one is said to be good..but after the first one..I'm glad this is the last one now, maybe Keanu will go back to "Bill & Ted"..

[HAOHMARU2]

i pretty much agree with everything karma said, i felt disapointed. i was expecting more kung fuaction, plus there were lots of holes in the plot and lot of questions remained unaswered.

The matrix> Reloaded>>>>> revolution

matrix 1and 2 are the best for me.

Same here.

[Resident Evil]

Matrix - 9/10
Matrix reloaded - 1/10 soo boring... almost the whole movie talking and fake fighting ( maybe next time they will do better )
Matrix revolution- unknown, havent seen it yet. go to bg darkvirus will tell you what happend in it :D i actually might not have to see it after all.

[Kingryu1]

almost the whole movie talking and fake fighting
behold... this centurys sherlock holmes...

i ain't seen the movie yet. but i will, maybe tomorrow. i'll tell you what i think then

i agree hope is worth my money!

[Dreadlocks]

well if you guys don't see the first, second, or third Matrix movie, you should at least check out the Animatrix. :)

[ledmonkey]

Really, I thought this was the best one.....Man the APUs were really cool. Lol they held their guns like ganstas. I like all the action that was outside of the matrix. This movie was defently the bloodiest. The ending, not so good. But overall I thought it was the best out of the three.

My ranking:
1. Matrix Revolutions
2. The Matrix
3. Matrix Reloaded(yea...that one was boring)

[akuma_forever]

realoded sucked... bad.

but revolutions was pretty good...

it kind of left you wondering, though....

i liked that machine face thingy.... :biggrin:

[alamgir]

The matrix i would give 9/10, it was unique and now a lot of films copy the slow motion and "bullet time" in the film.

The matrix reloaded, pretty much a big let down with a cliff hanger at the end. 5/10

The matrix revolutions, 2/10 probably the worst film i've seen this year, well below expectations and it doesn't even explain what happened at the end of the second one.

[MIG]

i'd rate them all pretty much equal although reloaded would be slightly lower because it had a pretty poor plot and was mainly based on fighting which was still good but the other two combine them both.

and for revolutions it's pretty much the best film i've ever seen. and from all the stuff i've heard other people say about it it seems like the only reason they dont like it is because you actually have to think in order to understand the storyline instead of just having it handed to you like most films do.

[digital~fighter]

i cant wait to see that movie. but the ppl who sew it say it's borin lol

[SSJKarma]

actually, i didn't want to say much about it cause no many people had seen it when it came out ##filter bypass##

but if you're wanting to go down the road, no problem for me ##filter bypass##

i actually like when producer mix actions and logic in their movie. i like having a good suspence where yu can't quite pinpoint what really happens until the end of the movie ! but i also like the way action is needed in order to make a movie good.

here is my real critics...
** WARNING SPOILERS ALERT **
ok...
i liked the way the movie started, for once it showed that neo cannot control all of the matrix, all that because he was trapped in that metro station ##filter bypass##

i like the action TRINITY, MORPHEUS and SERAPH fought in the beginning to see the merrovingien. really it was awesome. after alkl that was made the matrix movie (the first one) popular after all.

downfall...
really, its the fights inside the matrix that made the first movie an awesome one. without that feel of the matrix, the third movie was just lowering in mind. even tho i liked the war in the real world, it was not what i had in mind. i would have made a mix of both wars. NEO, MORPHEUS,TRINITY and basically all others fighting a real war and int he matrix at the same time, you see fighting on two front line at the same time was what i had expected ##filter bypass##

in the second movie, i like the action on the highway, but not the action against the 100+ SMITHs. so the third movie wasn't that good if i compared it to the second and even more non-sens if i compare it to the first ##filter bypass##

the fact thast neo controls the matrix without even plugged in makes simply no sens at all either. its like, i can kill kill,change and everything inside the matrix without even be near it, its just non-sens. i tryed for hours to find the real meaning of this. but all i could find was a stupid idea in itself, which was he needed to be strong enough to get into the machine homeland. the only thing that would enabled him to do so was to control their systems even without getting plugged in ! but it was a dumb idea. in my opinion ##filter bypass##

also, the fact neo and trinity die at the end really made me feell like quitting the theater in disgust ! if at least trinity would have died in a very good way, no she, died needlessly. it was even more stupid ##filter bypass##

really, i liked the big war outside the matrix, they made it look like a big war it was awesome, bloody awesome, but fine. seeing how human can be pushed behind their limits in the real world was an awesome deal ! (the kid who take that robot and link's girlfriend) but still, there was no need for them to make 3/4 of the movie about it. the action in the matrix, those fights and the likes are what made it was and without it, the matrix was just not the matrix ##filter bypass##

i liked the way the architech and the oracle talks at the end. i like dthe way they answered our questions, i was at a point where the only thing that would have been realistic to think of, was for them to be in 2 different matrix. kinda like the real world they say it is, is actually another matrix. that's the way i was thinking before seeing the third movie, because it was the only thing i think would have made sens.

seems like i was wrong.
i liked the plot in the first movie, it was an awesome movie, except for the ending where it became too cheesy for me, example a kiss he's alive and know everything ! how cheesy can this be ?.

i liked the second movie a little less, too much actions not enough storyline. what i liked the most was the action on the HIGHWAY, that was just as awesome as the first movie which is what was needed. but i didn't liked the fight with neo against the 100+ SMITHs, it was just too damn stupid of an idea ##filter bypass##

i liked the ending, showing that the one wasn't the one at all, it was all made up. i liked that, but ever since he killed those 5 sentinel. i was disappointed again.

the third movie comes even worst then the second movie. the fact that there is no INSIDE the MATRIX action, it rids us of the fact that the movies were all awesome because of those scenes in the matrix, the action.

example: my father loves the matrix cause he likes the kung fuactions and the fact that a man must overcome his limits to show his true potential. and he likes the story in that matrix. but when i told him there wasn't much of a MATRIX int he third movie, telling him that there is like only 20 minutes in total of in the matrix action. he said that this was going to be a real let down.

my father isn't the kind to say that to a movie before seeing it, if he does, that's because the movie isn't just like it was and will be even less enjoyfull to see ##filter bypass##

anyway, you understand what i meant by it was not to my expectation, the brothers got our expectation very high, only to fall short story wise ##filter bypass##

but that's my point of view ##filter bypass##

[bloodpack]

ok, its bloodpack's review now...

while most ppl are disappointed with the way how the movie end, all i can say, in every war, there has to be a casualty
pity it has to be trinity...

but i think they overdone neo's heroism, i know heroes have to be injured in fights but blinding him is too much

well, i guess its one way for the wachowski brothers to demostrate his "real powers in the real world" specially blazing those sentinels blocking their path##filter bypass##

i love the special FX specially neo fighting agent smith in the city##filter bypass####filter bypass##!

if you love DBZ showdowns then this movie is close to it##filter bypass####filter bypass####filter bypass##
everything was wreck havoc##filter bypass####filter bypass####filter bypass##
the awesome display of powers for both sides##filter bypass####filter bypass####filter bypass####filter bypass##

what bugs me is THE ORACLE
since right from the very start, she always confuses me with her riddles and puzzles##filter bypass##

heck, if im neo talking to her right now, i'd say..."can you please go straight to the point, im kinda busy you know, i gotta save my own =/ "

remember these words? "the answere lies by going back to the source"

heck, now i know, the solution to their half problem is agent smith going back to the "mother machine" using neo's body as a conduit to drag hugo weaving back to LOTR :biggrin:
maybe hell find good paycheck there :biggrin:

anywayzz, i dont think neo died, since in the matrix he wasnt injured badly, he was knocked unconcious while smith absorbs him, other than that, i dont thikn he died

the ending....

well, i really dont like the ending...PEACE?##filter bypass####filter bypass####filter bypass##
what the hell is that? theres no TOTAL RESOLUTION to their problem##filter bypass####filter bypass####filter bypass####filter bypass####filter bypass##

ppl want these machines out but it seems like this PEACE thing really means SURRENDER for the citizins of zion bcoz we all saw how the sentinels almost ready to wipe them out##filter bypass####filter bypass####filter bypass####filter bypass##

heck, if im a zion citizen, i wouldnt agree with that kinda pact
i will still pursue my goal to liberate my planet##filter bypass####filter bypass####filter bypass####filter bypass##

or better yet, with the advanced technology they have, why cant they just find another planet to dwell upon?

i wouldnt stick around living with these treacherous machines knowing the fact that at any given moment, a spark of war might ignite again....

meh....

[SSJKarma]

welcome to the club of those who got disappointed by the third and final movie ##filter bypass##

oh and what powers int he real world ? you know that kinda thing cannot hapen int he real world, its like saying all blind persons int his world actually see in their blindness. its false dude, its stupid and non sens that you know ! having powers int he matrix is something but having powers outside the matrix, since when are we capable of such a great thing ?

really, its the worst of them all story wise ##filter bypass##
acvtion wise, well, the ending was just too stupid. other then that the action was coool, except that i was expecting a lot f matrix fights like that one in the highway, that was pretty awesome int he second movie.

oh well, now the series over, the first one will always be the best ##filter bypass##

[alamgir]

I couldn't agrree more ^ :)

karma it's only a film, it doesn't have to be realistic. i'm sick of having to explain to people how everything happens in the film so if you want to find out go to the www.gamefaqs.com go into the boards, find the matrix one and look around there because everything has been answered.

as for storyline how can u say it was the worst? reloaded had next to no storyline, it was pretty much all mindless fights for the entire film with only a bit of story which most people didn't understand.

[SSJKarma]

well, if you say that the second movie had no storyline at all then you're the one who didn't understood anything mig !

it has a lot more stroyline thent he third movie which happens to have only a war waging on ! which by expectation, make it worst then its predessessor !

[bloodpack]

i wouldnt say its all that bad, i mean its pretty cool in terms of special FX

the only thing that sux is how the story ended...plus the annoying oracle...

as for the ppl who got disappointed on not seeing the "white twins" hate to say it, theyre EXPENDABLE just like the other sentinels

just bcoz they got fancy looks, doesnt mean they need to be in the film again...they had their shot and they failed their prime directives so if im the mother machine, why would i utilize them again?

as for the fight scene of neo and smith, of course it was awesome, the windows were shattering!, you can really feel their powers...

remember the part when smith punched neo? he got him bleed (now that's reasonable)

howbout when smith smashed neo on the pavement, you can see the crater it created...but alas! not even a scratch for neo?!

hes just soak and wet with mud... :sarcasm:

[SSJKarma]

that's what i've been saying, its far below expectations !

there is nothing more stupid for a film maker then to make a movie look so hot and cool and then releasing something not even worth what they already showed of it !

for those who still ask, what you see in the trailers of it, is like the only action scene there is in the movie ! there is not many more then what you saw already !

that's why i'm saying this !
action wise the movie is awesome as it is, since it doesn't happen int he matrix i was very disappointed as to why they called it the matrix if its not even using it for the whole movie. but the war is ok, but really story wise, they completely blew it, there is no way for the story to end like this, not as easily, plus there is the fact that both heroes die ! making it even worst !

really, storywise, they copletely blew it, the first will always be the best of them all followed by the second, and then by far behind, the third !

[bloodpack]

...plus there is the fact that both heroes die ! making it even worst !
errr, karma, i dont think neo died...

he just used his body to trap smith going back to the mother machine...he was hardly wounded...

[Ken-Po]

Karma you just spoiled for me to go see the matrix: revolutions. Why would you say in your so called "review": "Oh yea the heroes die" ! or "Oh yea only 20 min's in the matrix" ! Dude nothing against you but there is allot of people who haven't seen matrix III yet. I'm one of them and personally I really don't feel like watching the movie now. Thanks for your inputs on the past movies which even President Bush has see by now, but here's an idea: Don't tell what happened in a brand new movie just because you were one of the early viewers.

Once again before you get your duel monsters in deffensive mode.....NOTHING AGAINST YOU I JUST THINK YOU SHOULDNT SPOIL A MOVIE FOR SOMONE THAT JUST CAME OUT!

peace! :buttrock:

[ledmonkey]

...plus there is the fact that both heroes die ! making it even worst !
errr, karma, i dont think neo died...

he just used his body to trap smith going back to the mother machine...he was hardly wounded...
I think he did, the machines overloaded his brain. That is why smith and all of the smiths connected to each other blew up. And the way they were carrying him.......

Ken-Po: You didn't have to read this, he said

** WARNING SPOILERS ALERT **
If you didn't want to read what happened you wouldn't have read it. :p

so no flaming, no dissing just review of how you liked the movie ![/quote:post_uid7]
Yo man e-mail me oh yeah I got the new game enter the matrix.E-mail k man. :) :) :alien:

[SSJKarma]

ok, seems like many didn't understand some part of the story where neo and trinity when going there, both knew they would never be back to others, that meant dieing !

neo died, because he and smith had became one and the same. so if neo died, then so was smith, this why neo gave up the ending fight and letted smith take control, they completed themselves, but remember they both were suppose to be dead, but a common goal made them escape death, so basically by killing neo, or smith, they both concluded and ended what they started. so they just died after it.

that's about what was normal to do, so yeah i'm sure neo is dead, and of course he wouldn't be alive anymore, the only thing that made him cling to life was trinity, he wouldn't live without her, so he swould rather die and join her then living without her !

so that's it, all prooven, neo is dead !

[MIG]

*spoilers*


except that at the end the oracle says that she expects they will see neo again...and thats only one of the many things to prove he is not dead, i would go through them all but i'm sick to death of having to explain them all to people.

[ledmonkey]

Hmm.....He did get taken over by Smith, but the oracle was able to come back. Of course shes a program though.

I have a question, do you think its was planned to have a new actress play the oracle? I'm thinking thats not the way it orginally was, and something happened so they changed the script a little to put a new actress in. But 2 and 3 were filmed at the same time so I don't know.

[SSJKarma]

second and third movies were filmed at the same time, so it was all planned !

if you had played the game ENTER THE MATRIX (which is a sideline story that goes along the second game, you would have had the complete story as to why she is like this) let's say the merrovingien doesn't like to be double crossed, so he kills all programs that did it. whatever the programs, let's say this merrovingien is like the gouvernemnts in the matrix, he has power over every single thing int here !

anyway...
tell me what exactly the oracles said to make you think he didn't die and will come back ? cause really she knew all along that the path of the one like neo always ends as a death, that's why no one ever knew about the five others before him, think of it, if no one ever told him, that was because no one knew, that neo said himself, now think, why would no one know about them. simply, because all CHOSEN died at the end and the matrix always got reloaded leaving only 6 males and 7 females alive and living off that number !

really, neo had to die to get rid of smith.
thing is, without the real smith, the others got their form back. but, smith can take up the form he wants, in taking neo, he became neo, but neo died, so would smith die as well !

neo knew it formt he start that he wouldn't survive the night, he had to die that's why he told trinity that he would never be back (as in dieing there) so she answered, yes i know, but as long as i'm with you, i'm ok with it !

as simple as that.
and if there love is that great, which is... we all know neo can't live without her !
so yeah, with all those, i really think he died because that was the only way out of this.

but anyway... i all cases, the ending and story sucks perriod !

[MIG]

ledmonkey the reason there is a new oracle is because the one from the first 2 films had a heart attack just after she finished the second one so they had to get a new one and come up with a reason for why she changed. and karma i'm not even going to bother arguing with you because it's cleart that even if i do give proof you wont believe it anyway.

Yea that's what I thought, something happened to her or something. An then they changed the storyline in teh game and in the movie a lil' bit.

[SSJKarma]

helllllooo ?

the game came out at the same time the second movie was out !
she the right now in the movie but not int he game. so that would be a stupid reason !

[ledmonkey]

I dunno, it'd be an intresting thing to try an research. They didn't release the 2nd movie and the game right after they were done, they could have had time to imput the change.

[MIG]

karma she actually did die after filming the second matrix, it's not made up. if she hadn't died they wouldn't have gotten rid of her and changed the oracle to an even older person with a slight speech impediment.

[VIRUS]

Revolutions was horrible. So much left unanswered and the only reason it ended the way it did was becuase they want to make more money off of the mmorpg coming out next summer for the matrix. It is set after revolutions...I dunno i really thought the wachowski bro. thought of this as their main project and treated it like gold...looks to me like all they are doing is mining for gold and juicing the ppl for all they are worth (animatrix, Enter the matrix, comic's).

Matrix and reloaded were the best...part three was a waste of time.

[ledmonkey]

I'm tired of hearing ppl say I didn't like it cause the ending :angryfire: :angryfire:
Errrrr........Just because the hero died doesn't means it's bad. You guys are sucked into too many happy ending movie. Real life ain't a fairy tale :angryfire: ! I thought the ending was good, very dramtic.

[MIG]

the only thing the ending leaves open is whether or not the machines and humans will stay at peace...other than that the only other possible thing is if neo is really dead. and trust me, there is proof that he is still alive.

[VIRUS]

Led did you ever think ppl just didnt like all the plot holes that were left open?. There are many ppl who do not like happy ending's, personaly I dont like them myself. I also do not like leaving the end of a trilogy with many unanswered questions. I also do not like interesting characters turned into two-liners and background scenery.

Look at the box office led, revolutions has suffered a 60% drop from its opening weekend that's enough to merit it the title of a complete failure. Ppl who actually like the third one are very few while real fans around the world were very disappointed with this last installment.



Edited By VIRUS on Nov. 20 2003 at 12:58

[ledmonkey]

I'm not talkin' bout real fans.(For I'm sure they have good reasons not to like it) But the ppl that just didn't like it because neo an trinity died.

[SSJKarma]

for all i know i was sure that trinity or neo would die maye both like htey did, but the way trinity died is just pathetic, she deserved to die in a very dramatic way like in the reloaded scene ! that was an awesome death !

she didn't deserved to die impaled on a lot of spikes after their ship crashed !

as for the ending plot holes, explain me some, cause it sure answered them for me !
also the ending really isn't an ending that is suitable, you think its dramatic, hell its a lot of an happy ending !

example:
neo gets int he machine city, talk to them, get on, get defeated a lot by smith then get killed by him, then the matrix reloads undoing all that smith did. neo dies, and believe me, he is dead ! then the machines stop their attacks then release everyone int he matrix and everyone lived in piece ever after for th erest of their lives !

really howbad is this ?
real bad,

first: a war that big cannot end that way, never will, peace wasn,t an option for a war going that way over time and getting that way outta hands !

second: the fight neo had with smith was just plain pathetic.

third: how come in reloaded smith gets defeated easily, then now he kicks neo's butt easily ! can't be because he took seraph. seraph is good but not that good. plus smith can simply fly and the likes like if he was NEO's double, really he couldn't have gotten so strong in a few hours !

fourth: the train thing at the beginning, its a good idea, but such a place cannot really exists !
as they say it is... its the place where real thing begins to exists. scuse me, but by the way they said it, its almost like machines can come out of the matrix and be in the real world. sorry i don't buy that. it's a stupid thing !

fifth: morpheus becoming a not so important charcater in their is just plain stupid, we like see him do something for like the first 15 minutes in the movie, after that he just sit there doing nothing for the rest of the movie ! glad to see ghost, sparks and niobe a lot more, but still they aren't suppose to have a better role then morpheus has. and they do have that !

no really, they screwed it up really bad it he third installment, its a good movie to watch, full of bloodshed, but really matrix storywise, they completely blew it !

there is only one thing that makes me proud of. they showed with the final fight, that DRAGONBALL is a possible movie indeed ! that's about all i liked to see in their !

see ledmonkey, its not because of the neo and trinity dieing thing, there is way more at stake then that ! but only true fans of the series can really see that this movie was sucking big times !

[ledmonkey]

First of all neo was getting his ass kicked by a different kind of Mr. Smith. This was the one that used to be the oracle. He had the eyes of the oracle so he could see anything in the future including what neo was going to do. Another thing, Neo was getting his ass kicked on purpose, that is why Agent Smith got so freaked out, because he saw that his vision on the future was not correct. Neo knew the only way to kill all of them was to be one and let the machines overload his brain. So he did.

I am a Matrix fan, but I wouldn't say it totally sucked. I mean, I only say that if I didn't enjoy one bit of it. Are you saying you did not enjoy it at all, not any sceane?
