Hi,
I am sorry but seeing this movie just proved to me that the Wachowski brothers really had nothing revolutionary to say beyond the first amazing movie. They just ended up convincing me that they truly were a one-hit-wonder and that they just kept on spewing thinly veiled religious and philosophical bullshit to try to mesmerize people like they did with the original. But, then again, if they did anything else, it wouldn't be the Matrix, would it? They really bit themselves in the ass with this one, and it really all comes down to making money. The first movie was so innovative and original that it would be almost impossible to truly improve on it. In a way, they did all they could, but making sequels wasn't a good idea to begin with. The first movie was not made for the money but for the sake of telling an amazing story and making a revolutionary movie. These two movies were made to make money and to try to keep running with a story that should've ended with The Matrix. Too bad, as I didn't think Reloaded was bad, and I thought maybe Revolutions would live up to it's name and be Revolutionary. Oh, and one last thing, I can't believe how the Wachowski brothers copped out and used so many clichés, one-liners and cheesy gimmicks! I thought they were above that. Honestly, Revolutions was perhaps the most clichéd movie ever, using the tough but endearing drill sergeant, the "Last Man Standing" bit, the heroic citizens bit, the "Everyone-Dies-But-The-Main-Characters-Who-Survive-Long-Enough-To-Win-The-Day" bit, the fact that people survive long enough to tell their life story, and the list goes on. And what was with Morpheus in this one, anyways? He's been relegated from a badass dude to Will Smith's wife's bitch.
Thanks,
Manga
