There has been a lot of slagging off, of this movie, but I for one that is was amazing. If you hated it, post in the other threads on the board :D
I just hope that they don't do another one in a few years time and ruin the whole thing.
I personally cannot wait for the DVD box set now of all three films (and perhaps the Animatrix also)
Who else really enjoyed?

It's definitely better than Matrix Reloaded but it's still not that good...

still haven't seen Reloaded yet.... need to though. i had also heard much negative criticism surrounding this film. however, these are film critics, and there have often been times when I haven't agreed with them. *coughhack*english patient *coughhack*
what is your opinion, jedi chris, of this film? how do you think a fan of the first film would respond?

In general the three films do make a good trilogy. Although the first film was probably good enough to stand on its own, had it not been the success it was.
True Matrix fans will love it regardless I think. I think with many films such as this, many take the attitude of 'Well I think it could have ended better' .... but I tend to think of it as ''thats how is was".....simple. If that makes any sense? I will say that the highway scene from the second film is by far the best.....but I really did enjoy what I watched, and would go and see it again in the cinema I think!

Definately.
You see many people thought the same with some of the Star Wars films, not that I want to turn this topic into a discussion about that, but George Lucas had a story to tell and he told it......if you don't like it - just accept it. That's all I'm saying. So on that note, yeah....go for it, enjoy it, get a big bag of popcorn also. I would rent Reloaded though first from the video store first

i enjoyed it. there were some things i wish they would've spent more time explaining. and a few things i wish they would've spent less time on. but, overall it ties up the storyline in a satisfying way.
i give it a C+.
i'm seeing it again this afternoon.

I am glad finally someone came out and said they liked this. I thought Reloaded was amazing and had the feeling this was going to rock serious ass!
Thank you Jedi Chris for such a wonderful thread!

That was just one scene, near the beginning. Reloaded was kinky throughout.

just saw it... it was good, but I have to admit I was dissappointed with the ending... but that's it...
In my opinion, the first is the best, because it's the first... it's the one that started all the hype and shit, and it blew me away... the second was amazing and had amazing special effects, but obviously couldn't be as good, cause it was just a continuation, and didn't have the same effect cause we knew the story and such a bit... it was as good as it could be I think... this third one was a little dissappointing to me because of the ending... but do like Chris said, and take it as it is... it's a good movie, and the trilogy is a great one...
also, I hope and pray that these guys don't butcher the story by doing three prequels, or three sequels or whatever... end it now, for God sake, do not kill this like George Lucas is doing with Star Wars... seriously, episodes 1 and 2 or star wars I found SOOOOO boring... well, Episode 1 was ok cause I was so pumped to see a new star wards movie, but really they both sucked...

ok, i am making a mental note of anyone who thinks the third matrix was quote unquote a good movie (or, horror of horrors, the "mtv spring break does the matrix" reloaded) and will never, ever take yr recommendation ever again. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!!!?!?! the dialogue was written by a bunch of fourteen year olds with boners!

better than reloaded, but that isn't saying much.
After the studio called their bluff about actually making the trilogy, they ran out of creativity and ideas real fast.
not awful, but not much better.

my friend fell asleep thirty minutes into the movie, and missed the big mechwars battle where the main character is absent for a good half hour. probably one of the worst sequels ever, and definitely the worst ending to a series. i actually like pieces of reloaded, maybe because it held a strange mystique/insanity about it. but this was just crap. pure, unadulterated crap.
and whats with the guys on the ceiling in the club lobby scene? is there something advantageous about it or did they just realize they were in "the matrix revolutions" and might want to do some cool shit?

after a second viewing i've upgraded my review from a C+ to a B+.
the symetry in the story never ceases to amaze me.
smith, the yin to neo's yang. neo, the 'one', smith, the 'many'. oracle and architect; black, female, visionary, driven by emotion / white, male, binary thinker, driven by logic.
etc, etc...
very well done sci-fi trilogy. yay!

if they'dve spent a little less time on link and his bitch, and trinity's drawn out death scene, and spent that time giving a little more backstory on the merovinian and the trainman my B+ would be an A, no doubt.
