The ending was fine, just because it wasn't what you wanted you complain and bitch? If it was what you were wanting and expecting then you'd complain and bitch that it was so guessable and all that. Just watch the movie for what it is, entertainment. I was very entertained.
In the great words of Maximus - Are you not entertained?!!?!

That's exactly how I feel. I'll say the following, and it may seem too general, but it is the truth: the media are now in a fad of dissing the Matrix no matter what it takes. With the release of Revolutions, I've lost all hope in the movie critic world (Except for Ebert, still the only movie critic I trust...he loved all three Matrix movies giving them at least 3 stars out of 4). Critics are simply trying their damned hardest to find something wrong with this movie, just as they did with Reloaded.
I figured most adults were mature enough to accept that some movies change with sequels...I guess I overestimated their intelligence. If you hated Reloaded, then that's it, just stop -- you're watching these movies for the wrong reasons. The first movie was written and directed WITHOUT KNOWING if there would be sequels! That's why it was different from the last two, everyone. They had to make it suffice on its own without sequels, yet make it sequel-ready just in case. The first Matrix is not the best of the series...it is the least best. Don't get me wrong, I understand that it started this wonderful trilogy, but as for literary analysis of cinema go, it's not the best. Reloaded takes that honor, followed by Revolutions.
We're sorry that there were no miniguns attached to helicopters in the last two. We're sorry that there were no dojo fighting scenes, and we're sorry that there wasn't another lobby shootout. That's the difference between real moviegoers and people who just want to be entertained -- moviegoers can see the first one and enjoy it as well as those who simply want to be entertained. That's not true of the last two, however. If you want entertainment only, then go somewhere else. Go see a Tom Green movie or the horrid Terminator 3. That'll entertain you, but nothing else. The last two Matrix movies aren't out to entertain, there out to deliver a story with the best visual stimulation possible. That's what they do, and they do it very, very well. If you don't like the last two, then you're watching them for the wrong reasons. Stop trying to blind these excellent movies from the people who would enjoy them...the people who enjoyed Reloaded.
The Matrix Revolutions is incredible. If you enjoyed Reloaded, then you'll love this one. There's no doubt in my mind.
