But i wasn't entertained. I wanted to see the characters that the Wachowski Bros spent 4 years and two movies trying to make us care about, not the few bit players introduced a few months ago. While the visuals were amazing, the end fight seen was just week compared to just about any in the previous 2 films. I thought I was watching an episode of Dragonball Z. And since everything that made The Matrix and Reloaded more entertaining than your standard sci-fi flik occured in the matrix, they probably should have spent more than a few fleeting moments there in the finally. I have to admit, while i sit and think about this, I'm not quite as disappointed as I was immediately after watching Revolutions. The majority of my questions were answered, and the plot points were tied up, however weakly, except for a few minor inconsistencies which shouldn't show up between 2 movies shot at the same time. But to have a hero who has been built up over the 2 movies like Neo has take an ass whipping from his arch nemesis in the final battle, especially after he has lost the woman he loves, and the fate of humanity is in his hands, just doesn't sit well with me, even if he does technically win in the end and complete his purpose. When he rose the last time and told Smith it was because he chose to, I though for sure that he was about to open the family size can of woopass, but no, it was not to be. The entire film just felt very anti-climactic.
