Reviews for The Matrix Revolutions
101 - 120 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
...the Wachowskis' blast of special effects and pointless plot complications...is such a failure that it threatens to retroactively sully the virtues of the first film.

The robot walkers look like the love child of ED-209 and the T-800 endoskeleton.The war cries of the Zion army sound like bad Rambo impressions.But this is a satisfying movie.

Revolutions encerrou de maneira melancólica uma saga que teve início de forma inteligente e promissora.
11/05/03
Though inferior to its predecessors, Revolutions does manage to keep the eyes intrigued for two hours of solid and well-photographed action sequences.

If you've come 2/3rds of the way through a series like The Matrix odds are you're going to see it through to the end
11/05/03
The last two Matrix installments, as with most sequels, tarnish the original by making the characters less interesting than they originally appeared.
11/05/03
Worthy of theater viewing based only on the mind-blowing CGI which take effects to a new level. The story's no longer intriguing, just the action.
11/05/03
I'm warning you: don't see this film--because whatever third movie you envisioned in your head, no matter how lame, has got to be better than this.
11/05/03
No less than the rankest demagogue, The Matrix Revolutions insists on the primacy of faith over knowledge. Once it locks and loads, however, the triumphant visuals short-circuit anything resembling abstract thought.
11/05/03
One of the most original concepts in recent fantasy movie history has devolved into something perfectly ordinary.
11/05/03
An unmitigated disaster.
11/05/03
This conclusion will satisfy devoted fans of the franchise, or so I maintain as one of the believers.
11/05/03
Even if The Matrix Revolutions fails to mesmerize your mind, it will dazzle your senses.
11/05/03
An unwieldy, two-plus-hours third act of a movie, guided by the principle (incubated by Reloaded and fully grown here) that too much is never too much.
11/05/03
As an action movie, it's talky, but it rocks.
11/05/03
While Reloaded and Revolutions might be technically proficient, they are largely devoid of the kind of wonder and storytelling that hooked us the first time.
11/05/03
Over all, The Matrix Revolutions, the third and last of the film cycle envisioned by Andy and Larry Wachowski, mostly feels as hackneyed as the first film felt fresh.
11/05/03
This isn't revolution, this is devolution.
11/05/03
Conclusively proves that the Wachowskis had little substantial to add to the premise of the 1999 original.
