The Matrix: Revolutions

It's a good film. It's chock full of cliché, and is whizzes and bangs from start to finish. If that's not going to float your boat, then tough nuts, I say. If you can't be entertained by this level of shooting and explosions alone, then you're probably a girl or a grown-up.

Plot-wise, liked it. Reloaded muddied the waters, talked a lot about Choice and Philosophy and all that, and I'm glad to say that it turns out to be just trimmings, and the real message of the trilogy turns out to be "A Man's Gotta Do What A Man's Gotta Do."

Overall, my view of the trilogy is that Movie 1 was (of course) essential, and that Movie 3 was a worthy finale. Movie 2, in my view, suffered from basically just having to get us from Movie 1 to Movie 3. I wouldn't want any of Reloaded tagged onto the end of #1 and #3 was just right as it was, so #2 was a necessary sort-of disappointment in the middle. If they'd asked us to wait a year for Revolutions, I'd have been a bit P-O'd. But since I only saw Reloaded a couple of months ago, I've not got an issue with it.

I'll give Revolutions 8/10. Back to basics, doing what The Matrix should be doing.
