The Matrix Revolutions

[Dantheman]

I thought this was a GREAT movie. Its one of the best. I like it better then the last 2. I think its better then LoTR. What do you think of it.

[Eradikatus]

I think this sums it up:

Here comes the third installment of the Matrix Trilogy. Everything that you believed in the first one was already destroyed in the Reload Episode. This time, the Revolutions leads the audience to a normal not very well done in fact, standard action-packed movie like any blockbuster that may come from Hollywood. Lots of real ugly fake SPFX, lots of noise and to cover all up, a religious choral score by Don Davis (excellent in fact, but only listen to it apart from the movie!). There is nothing left of what marvellous the first Matrix was: Great characters, amazing SPFX, superb story with a real and interesting mythology. The Revolutions destroy all that and become a real pain in the butt moviemaking experience. And the producer Joel Silver quote in the press about the trilogy "This is the future of movie making". Oh, we're in deep trouble.

I believe the third installment was done perfectly. There was no other way to successfully end the trilogy, and if you believe there was I would like you to explain it.

[CronoEdge]

Neither Reloaded nor Revolutions can compare to the first matrix. Matrix 1 had alotta potential to have some kik arse sequals but it just didnt happen instead we get a few cool action scenes and a totally screwed plot.

Thank god RoTK is coming out soon so i can forget this disappointment. ><

[King_O.F]

yeah, it was nothing compared to what I came to expect after Matrix

[Nintendo Survivor]

There are two threads for people to complain about this movie yet there are none about how horrible the Star Wars prequels are?

[Eradikatus]

The opinions on this trilogy are kind of mixed. If opinions were unanimous, why would they need to be acknowledged?

[NickTheGamer]

I really enjoyed the love side of it all...

[Nintendo Survivor]

I enjoyed all the different meansing behind the movie. You may not think there are any, but I have severyl books that were written by famous psychologists and scientists who see the same meanings in the movies. Amazon.com has some of these books if anyone is interested, just search "The Matrix."

I dunno know about you guys, the whole time I had to take a piss, and I was bored out of my mind. I could give a shit what the story is about. I wanted to see more of the Matrix itself. The second film had a lot of stuff in the matrix.( A lot of it looked fake too) But the last scene in revolutions was awesome. The recreation of the lobby scene was cool, when they were walking on the ceiling.

I was a little disapointed.

The first Matrix is the best.

[ETEP1]

I thought this one made up for the crappy second one. THAT was a disapointment. Excpet for the twins and the freeway scene, the second matrix movie sucked it BAD. This was a very action packed movie and I for one thought that the ending was suitable. I loved the scene where they had do defend zion or whatever its called from those octopuss guys.

[Shoxx]

Best trilogy ever... and I liked the second one, I didn't think it was a disappointment at all.

[Freak of Kane]

I didn't like Revolutions at all...I wanted to see more action, but then that's just what I prefer.

[Triumph]

Oh yes yes it was a very good movie, very good movie.


FOR ME TO POOP ON!
Well instead of explain my opinion why this movie was SO BAD I almost cried out fo dismay I will simply direct you to this: http://maddox.xmission.com/c.cgi?u=matrix3

[McBizzel]

I liked it a lot. I don't think they could have ended it much better than they did. The only part about the ending that got to me was that they left Neo's fate too open. They didn't give you any hint as to what was to happen to him. Other than that, the movie kicked some major ass.

[ETEP1]

There will probably be another matrix movie. I agree that they left the ending too open. I still liked it though. I don't think that it was the best trilogy ever . Still, it's pretty damn good. I would prefer the first 3 star wars movies over these three any day.

[Boondock Saint]

the ending for revolutions sucked ass. if you want a full explanation, read my review (http://www.freewebs.com/mattsmithonline/revolutions.html) because it's too long to post here. i liked the first two hours of it, just the last ten mins. (where everything "WRAPS UP") sucked so much ass that i hated the movie b/c of it. there will be another flick b/c WB is making too much $.


*EDIT* - sorry, when i said ASS earlier, i should've typed butt. i'll not do this again.

[ETEP1]

Yeah, that ass comment REALLY pissed me off...haha

I sense another trilogy coming in a few years time.

[Eradikatus]

Spoiler:

Neo died. His mind disappeared. Quoting Morpheus, "the human body cannot live without the mind."

I think the end was made so they could make more movies on the Matrix.

[Boondock Saint]

i wholeheartedly agree with your views. simply put, the studio wants the cash that another matrix flick will pull in.

won't get any support from me though, at least not in the theaters; unless, of course, i hear that it's actually GOOD, which i doubt it will be.

[Kaizoku_Kouji]

Horrid, horrid film. The first should have been a stand alone movie. It ended properly and didn't leave any loose ends. Ulike the 3rd. "Will we ever see him again?" "Yes, I think so!" Pure plop! PLOP! The only things I likeed were when Trinity did her kicky thing again, and when Trinity saw the sky.

[ETEP1]

I think the 3rd movie should be a 2 and a half hour long funeral for Neo. Including Morpheus's rendition of "Dust in the wind" by Kansas and The Oracles ever so popular rock ballad "Sailing away" by styx.

So, I wasn't alone when I said that.....Hmmm..

I loved the second, as well.....since all the fighting scenes are just too cool. :cool:

[blablamax]

I really think the best trilogy ever award belonge to LOTR 8-)

The first Matrix moviue was great,suprior,perfect!

The second was pretty nice..and the efects was awsem again that we can see only on Matrix Movie.

The third I didnt see yet but I've heard its doesnt good at all and only the last hour of the movie is somehow woth seeing

[Chrono Break]

I think the Matrix trilogy ended great! When main characters die, I just find that brave of the producers. There are not many good movies out there where main roles are killed in the end. I loved the Matrix Trilogy and I am hoping the release a DVD set of all three movies so I can buy it and watch them over and over again until I have memorized all of the text in the movies!! YaY!

[ETEP1]

Did anybody else notice the large quantities of afroamericans and samoans in their little place called zion? The only white dude was that guy who took that droid over at the end and whooped some machine ass.

[Boondock Saint]

did anyone here not notice that neo didn't die? that wasn't brave, i mean...i agree that it's brave to kill off main characters, but neo didn't die, and trinity...she was a half-assed character from the start. anyways, the second and third film should've had all but about an hour cut off of each and put together for one movie...and then they could actually use the next movie to end the 'trilogy' and it could be worth calling it that. but what's going to happen is is that this 'trilogy' didn't end, so we're going to see one after the other of sequels...and they're all going to suck at least as much as these two.

[Chrono Break]

Except that millions of people feel that these two movies did not suck. In fact, many millions feel that these two movies were brilliant and truly awe inspiring. I being among those millions. I was really amazed by everything they were able to do with these movies, the way they tied everything together. And the action was great too. And there is no proof about Neo dying, and yet there is no proof he didn't. We may all have our theories, but the only way we will know the truth is to wait and see. Which is what I am going to do. Sit and wait, hoping for another Matrix movie. Maybe even a trilogy.

[McBizzel]

I think that he lived because at the end, when they were carrying him away, you saw everything in that orange light vision thing that Neo saw. I took that to mean that he was seeing what was happening meaning that he was alive.

which millions of people did you talk to? revolutions has been surpassed by ELF domestically, so if it's based on revenues, more people thought revolutions sucked than they did ELF, a film that shouldn't have rocked more than this 'great trilogy'...

...and keep hoping for another one. it's just when something bills itself as a trilogy, i believe the third one should wrap up ALL the loose ends, like, so there's no more than three...then it ceases to be a trilogy, and the people that made the film were LYING to all of us...

anyways, i'd be interested in your sources for the 'millions' of people...since revenue alone doesn't boast this for itself...

Matrix Revolutions Total Gross as of December 9th
$135,935,136 - Domestic
$265,133,346 - Overseas

Elfs Total Gross as of December 9th
$140,512,000 - Domestic
..... uh.... overseas? Hmm... didn't go overseas. What a.... shame. So Elf may be beating Revolutions by a very small amount... OVER HERE. But combine it with overseas gross and Elf is blown out of the water.

[Boondock Saint]

wow...except if you compare revolutions and reloaded's totals, revolutions is sucking it up big-time...

and elf won't go overseas...let's see if you can figure this one out...why won't it go overseas? maybe b/c it's a holiday movie and it's culture-specific? (if you don't believe me, look it up; it's been said on various box-office reports, and that reason specifically has been cited).

it'll probably go overseas eventually, but not in the near future...so you CAN'T compare overseas. besides, domestic's where it counts, man. that overseas is EVERY OTHER COUNTRY (it was released simultaneously, very different from many other films, so that is probably as big as it's gonna get oveseas), not just a single country. in the US elf's kicking the matrix's butt...just like i said.

you really should read people's arguments when they specifically cite words like 'domestically' as opposed to 'foreign'. ass.

[Monkeylord]

Um... I'm in the UK, and Elf's playing here.

Is this overseas enough for ya? (hehehe).

I'm sure it's justa matter of time before the figures are released and everyone can clam down a bit :D

[Boondock Saint]

thanks dude. but the point was that elf wasn't released on the same scale as revolutions, which holds the record for largest simultaneous worldwide opening now. elf, although playing in other countries, isn't playing the same places, and not on the same scale as revolutions, and thus shouldn't be compared foreign. besides, even if you did use foreign numbers, you mean all those countries it was released in only made a little over 200,000,000 dollars for it so far? in how many weeks? man, that's just about twice as much as it made here, in THAT MANY countries? wow, it must not be as popular as we thought, eh?
