OK, so it's only two more days until the MATRIX REVOLUTIONS is coming out worldwide. Now, call me a geezer (I'm only 13!) but I think that it will be inundated with unoriginal Sci-Fi cliches.😳

Now, the first Matrix was pretty good, and was a perfect equblirum of philosophy and action. The Matrix : Reloaded was kinda pushed, and didn't have enough action compared to the first one, and the Architect c*ap was really off it's head, except for the part when Neo said BullSh!t and all the little TV Neos behind him wen't BullSh!t as well, that was kinda funny.

Now, I know I'm am gonna get badly flamed for saying this, and yes I am going to go see it, but I might just boycot the Matrix if it isn't anygood.

Goodnight😴😴😴

how can you boycott a movie if you have already seen it? And I thought there was some pretty good action scenes in the matrix reloaded, and while I think some of the non action sequences were overly wordy at times, i think there was probably more action scenes then actually needed. OVerall, after i watched it for a second time, i liked it (reloaded, i won't see revolutions until thursday)

Unless something horrible happens (to me, a(nother :-) loved one, the theatre or the world), in 11 hours I will be in the movie theatre to watch "Revolutions". I was there for the other two Dutch premieres so I HAD TO be there today too. I've seen each of them four times in the theatre and several times at home. I'm really excited and looking forward to how its going to end! :-)

I must admit that at first I thought "Reloaded" wasn't very good, but after seeing it a couple of times, I'm discovering the little things that make it worthwhile. I did not discover this one myself, but did you know that the license plate of the car that Agent Smith drives in (8 minutes into the move) is a reference to the Bible? The license plate reads IS 54 16, which refers to Isaiah 54:16. Look it up!

The whole movie is a reference to religion in general.

Well, I haven't seen the movie yet so don't say I can't boycott it yet...it's just that all the wordy scenes in Reloaded left me a bit worse for wear...
I am going to go see this movie, but it all depends on the actions scenes. DON'T TELL ME ANYTHING!

I know, but most of it I recognized myself. This I did not, and to read about it makes it all the more enjoyable: "Wow, something I missed!"

It rocked so much. It was far better than the second, but possibly not better than the first, at the time of the first, that is. Think about it when you watched the first it was so amazing and awe inspiring, the third I found also amazing. However, it was as amazing as the first.

On things you didn't pick up on did anyone notice The "One" and the "Many"? also did anyone notice the two angels? plus the reference to the Seraph (the wingless angel). any other obscure references in this that anyone can think of?

*sigh*.. while it wasn't a *bad* movie.. it wasn't a *good* movie either.. in my opinion. Some decent action, but a lot of it was just too silly-over-the-top (the big battles) for my taste, and really it wasn't that interesting. Don't get me wrong, i enjoyed watching it, but it was the worst of the three

ARRRGH!! SPOILER!!!!!

o well, it was bound to happen. Only 15 hours until my decision...but compared to the Animatrix, It CAN'T be that over-the-top with battle can it? AND WY DO THE HUMANS USE MACHINES IF THEY COULD TURN AGAINST THEM AT ANY SECOND!!

how is that a spoiler... you see Smith Flying around in the comercial... you know there is going to be action... if you think that is a spoiler, then you really don't know what to expect from a big budget action movie.. lots of fights and lots of things that go *bang*

the ending sucked BADLY. And I don't think you are a spoiler anymore, JCanDance

what was with the main character dying? I mean, that really doesn't open up for anything new to do with the Series, except with that 16 year old kid who was running backwards and forwards with the ammo.

And the end fight was the best of movie fights in a while, methinks.

It was about 6 and-a-half out of ten.

I agree.
I would've liked it if they kept the ending open like the first two movies.

Loved the scene when the millions of sentinals come flying into the docks - that looked cool.

personally, i quite enjoyed it and would say it was much better that the second film but way worse than the 1st.

Some very obvious things i knew would happen happened though.

I also thought the ending was good but i thought it may happen, it was clever and left you understanding what the film had been about.
