The Matrix Revolutions

"My admiration for 'The Matrix Revolutions' is limited only by the awkward fact that I don't much give a damn what happens to any of the characters (...) My regard is more for the technical triumph of the movie, less for the emotions it evokes (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"I walked out on 'The Matrix' (1999) bored stiff, but after watching all three movies end to end I'm more charitably disposed toward their hard-charging but harmless mix of two-bit space opera, middle-school metaphysics, and digital derring-do" 

"All this bombast, which may raise an honest goose bump or two, cannot dispel the overall atmosphere of exhaustion (...) There is very little that is tantalizing or suspenseful" 

"At the risk of understatement, 'The Matrix Revolutions sucks'. It’s not that the final chapter in the trilogy doesn’t have stunts and visual wizardry to drop your jaw. It’s just that it all adds up to a supersize nothing (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"You can virtually see the mystique peeling away while beholding the turgid melodrama, patchy plotting, windy dialogue and, yes, spectacular combat effects of this grand finale" 

"At its best, the picture is violently exciting; at its worst, banal and monotonous." 

"'The Matrix Revolutions' is where I sadly fell out of love with the whole exotic franchise (...) [It] is a bit rubbish"
