Yeah, I'm sure a bunch of you around here have seen it already, and I have too. So what did you guys think? I know I may be lynched by the die-hard Matrix fans, but nonetheless this is my review of it (which was written on a lack of sleep and stress, so it probably sounds a lot more harsh than I intended; oh well): "The third installment of The Matrix has arrived, and I’m sure that I’m not the only one here that has seen it already. But still, I’ll give you my review of this movie. After Reloaded was released, I thought it was an okay movie, but left something lacking. It didn’t hold up to what was in the first movie, and overall could have been better. Then I saw the trailer and commercials for Revolutions, and thought ‘Hey, the series has redemption!’ Unfortunately, though, I was wrong. Revolutions drags the Matrix trilogy even lower. In Reloaded, I felt that there was too much fighting and not enough actual dialogue or plot. In Revolutions, the opposite problem is presented. The movie seemed to be half action and half dialogue. Maybe the script was bad, or maybe it was the acting, but it was a struggle to stay awake during the entire thing. In fact, one of the people I saw the movie with confessed to falling asleep during part of it. Also, there was only one real fight that took place inside of the matrix, and that was a fourteen-minute battle between Agent Smith and Neo. This battle failed to really present anything new in the way of effects. All of the really good fighting ideas seemed to have already been used up in the previous two movies. That is not to say it wasn’t a fairly good battle, but it still lacked something. Plus, to say that the end of the movie was satisfying on any level would be wrong. It left me and all of the friends I saw it with wondering what the hell had just happened. Yeah, there is an opening for another sequel to be made, but after this movie I think that all Matrix fans will be hoping that it does end here. I could tell you what happens and how it ends, but I don’t want to give away too much information. However, if you plan to see this movie yet, make sure you have about five minutes to spend after the movie ends trying to comprehend why the hell the makers of this movie decided to end it with such an anticlimactic flop. However, this movie isn’t all bad. The only good part was the battle scenes where the machines penetrate Zion. This fight kept me sitting on the edge of my seat during its entire duration. Unfortunately, this triumph of the movie hardly can make up for the rest of it. Overall, I give Matrix Revolutions two thumbs down. If you were unhappy with Reloaded, I would definitely recommend not seeing this one. You will more than likely be even more disgusted. I still love the first movie, but the series went downhill fast with the movies that followed it."

Yea I saw the 1st,It was great.
I saw the 2nd,It was full to no space with effects,great action,ok movie.
Then..I saw the 3rd.
...
After i exited the cinema i thought it was ok.
But then again after rethinking it,i figured that as scotty said half time dialog,quarter some kind of action,and last quarter i can define only as a big large usless crock of shit.Yea i was really disappointed with the ending too.
This movie,well it ehmm.. sux!!!
Even when compared to the 2nd it sux,not to mention the 1st.. -------------------- No one is perfect
