The Matrix: Revolutions (very minor spoilers)
So I saw The Matrix Revolutions this past week. Overally, I was pretty disappointed with it. By itself, I actually don't think it was a bad movie, but as a Matrix movie, I thought it was very poor. Unfortunately it didn't bother with explaining much of any of the questions that were raised in Reloaded (which was the whole reason that I was anticipating this movie so much). Also, although there were some really amazing battle scenes, for a a Matrix movie I am much more interested in kick-ass Kung Fu inside the Matrix, than I am in a futuristic war movie.
On the bright side, as a war movie, I thought there were some very creative ideas on how the machines attacked (like a swarm of bees), and I overall liked the hive/insect mentality of the machines strategy. The special effects for these parts were amazing, but I would have liked to have seen all this in a different movie, and something more focused for the final Matrix movie in the trilogy.
Ah well. There's always The Return of the King, and Kill Bill Vol 2....
