Revolutions does not sound too promising

I have read the countless reviews that have come out today and most of them say revolutions is only a so-so movie. They went on to say that the movie does not really answer any questions we had. This is very disappointing. I was hoping for some sort of finality. I have no idea why they would not give any answers. People are going to be upset with the ending and the repeat business will not be so great. I wish they could hand the matrix over to more capable directors and redo reloaded and revolutions. The wachowscki brothers have ruined a movie franchise that could have been a classic. Now, the matrix will be remembered for what could have been instead of what was. It is sad too because reloaded and revolutions had so much potential.

So in other words, you're giving up before you even see what seems like it could easily be a very great movie...

Second of all... more capable directors? It seems to me like the brothers have been doing fine (granted the first half of reloaded was a little slow), but the original matrix was a masterpiece, and the second half of reloaded wasn't bad compared to other movies (you are comparing it to the original matrix).

I think we should withhold judgement until we see the movie.

I sortve agree, but wait till you see it, you cant rely on critics, especially when we understand the movie much more than they do.

M1 is a classic. But M2 and M3 ruined it.

I just don't want to play online games and read comics and see other animated dvd's to finish the story, not too many others do either. They are trying to scheme more money from us.

Don't pay any mind to the critics. They would not know a good movie it it walked up and smacked them in the face.

Trust only what the true fans say. Thats all that matters in the end. 😉

I don't care that they say it sucked but I do care that they said the movie really does not answer our questions. This is the final movie and if our questions are not answered then they will never be answered, unless you play the games and read the comics, but that is stupid.

Well... not for me at least... 😬

Ask yourself this.

What do critics really know?

Would they take the time to go over the movie with a fine tooth comb?

No!

So the answers they wanted answered may not be the ones we do.

Mr. Reeves was on the Today show this morning and he said "The story of Neo is ending" Also that we will get answers to "All" the questions we have. So I don't know what the F'n critics are talking about...maybe they weren't paying attention like we fans will!

From what I heard about Revolutions, it's got some awesome action and visual effects, but the story is sub par.

Let me tell you this, I've read many reviews too, and you know what I've found? They have relied on reports from movie goers, as ourselves, who have not even seen the movie yet!!! Not to mention, almost every one of the critics articles (and, so it seems the so called fans they interviewed) were more interested in LOTR than they were Revo.

So tell me how a critic who is only speculating, and does not want to think about the intratcate workings of the Matrix, going to know that it doesn't answer any questions when they aren't asking the right questions to begin with?

And your more capable directors comment?! The only thing I'm going to say is that this movie would not be what it is without the Wakowski Bros, and that, as the two who are the complete masterminds behind the whole thing - you couldn't have a more capable pair of directors!

Rolling Stone said that Neo goes off when they land at the machine city, like he sobs like there is no tomorrow. Does this sound good to u, Korri:/

*reads title of thread*
NO
*leaves thread forever*

yup, i think im doin the same thing. im never comin back!

i think is a big pile of BS!! people say trash just to get fans pissed off...we will know tomorrow for sure, dont read any reviews or itll put a downer on teh whole experience, you know how critics can be...we've all read good and bad reviews about any movie we've ever seen, AND Revolutions hasnt even come out yet!!! so these reviews could be BS....just wait and see, in time, we will know......

I won't be back to this thread either!

Yeah the reviews are bad and the trailer didn't look nearly as exciting as Reloaded's I'm still checking it out though.

Here are a few of the reviews from rottentomatoes.

''The Matrix Revolutions" is awful. It's not merely hapless or disappointing - it's a total catastrophe.

"Visually stunning but a huge disappointment. The resolution sucked!

"Please someone, get me the blue pill. I want to forget that this ambitious and noteworthy series is ending so weakly."

"So disappointing they may as well have bussed in Ewoks to save Zion."

"A mixture of frantic but empty action and solemn, even more vacuous philosophizing that ends up simultaneously pretentious and puerile."

''At the risk of understatement, The Matrix Revolutions sucks.''
