i gave it a 9 yesterday an hour after seeing it. I wud now revise my opinion o a 10 as the more i thought about it the more it seems like the best possible way to end the films (with a hint of more to come). My only dissapointment was the ropey cgi effects of the superbrawl but the hel club s&m stylings and the zionite fighting with miffunes outweighed my reservations. it was amazing
Ok, Of course i gave it a 10...
Also, for those of you saying you dont like it because of the fact that Mero and Perse weern't in enough of it, let me tell you something...I am betting that there will either be another Animatrix, or a comic, that goes into detail about Mero, Perse, the Twins, perhaps even Seraph...In fact, I will be disappointed if they don't visit the first matrix at least once, i dont care what form of media it is, i just wanna see/read/hear about it...i wanna know what it was like, if Archie, Oracle, Mero, Perse, Seraph, Twins, etc were in that one, and what their purpose was, and what their characters were like...
Too be perfectly honest I thought it was a pretty good finale to the story. Although the majority of my friends feel it was absolutely terrible, I found it to be a bit more watchable then Reloaded.
I certainly wouldn't call it amazing, since there is nothing that I found particularly spectacular about it... it was still fun to watch, if for no other reason then just the cool effects and fights.
The bets part is that it didn't have a huge amount of that lame religious metaphorical mumbo jumbo that I felt plagued Reloaded. Instead if felt more like the first one, cool action scenes and more character driven. Although the character development was too little to late, and I still didn't really care about what happened to the characters.
However, as I said it kept me entertained, and while it wasn't the best movie of the year, it certainly was a worthy finale to a series that, frankly, I don't think should have even been a series. I still feel it would have been a better idea had they stopped after the first one....but they didn't, so rating against other finales, it was pretty decent.
7.5 - 10
