Here are some quotes from other reviews:
"This film is even "talkier" than the second--the difference being the second film's dialogue had meat to it. This time around, we're given nothing but third-rate overwrought "heart felt" garbage, with none of the philosophy or banter that makes the series function."
"Three plotlines, overlong movie--where I saw providence, the editor...well, must have fallen asleep. If you want to see the FX, wait for the DVD, advance to the middle sequence, watch it, and then return the damn thing to Blockbuster."
-- From needcoffee.com
"It's called "Revolutions" maybe because as it spins, you see the original story repeating itself - there's this guy Neo, people think he's a savior, but he's not sure, and then there's this big battle, and then...."
-- From the Philadelphia Daily News
"It's basically an action-adventure war movie decked out with a full battery of eye-boggling fantasy images. Plus a sort of New Age philosophical sauce poured over the stew to make you think it's more substantial than it really is."
"Much of the picture is devoted to sci-fi mayhem splashed all over the screen"
-- From the Christian Science Monitor
"Seems like every time you leave one of these "Matrix" movies, you're left with a swarm of brain-scratching questions buzzing around your brain, and the latest offering, "The Matrix Revolutions," might just be the most puzzling entry in the trilogy. How, for instance, could Morpheus go from being a cool, leather-clad guru to a doughy dork wearing a distressed J. Crew sweater in just a few months? Why devote a movie to the Machines' siege of Zion when what people really care about is Neo's search for the truth behind the Matrix? And if Neo is indeed Jesus, do we have to limit our prayers to one-syllable words?"
-- From LA Daily News.
"As for the story, it's exactly what you probably expect, more or less. Han Solo and Princess Leia struggle to help Luke Skywalker confront his shadow side in order to ... um ... whoops, wrong decade. Make that: Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne, flat) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss, flatter) struggle to help Neo (Keanu Reeves, goes without saying) confront his shadow side in order to, you know, save the world. "
"But for a cyberpunk/anime Tron knockoff in Blade's duds following The Omega Man's path toward a Hulk-like aura of self-discovery climaxing with a middling showdown stolen from Superman II, it's a reasonably enjoyable ride."
-- From SF Weekly (This review is actually REALLY funny... The movie is almost worth the review)
"A brief subplot awkwardly attempting to shoehorn Hinduism into the "Matrix" mythos comes across like a hurried high school student's cramming of unnecessary footnotes into a term paper to give it a feeling of being extensively researched."
-- From azstarnet.com
"The sibling masterminds abandon all humor and most invention for a series of Mr. Wizard cosmic cliches ("There is no action without consequence . . . ." "The power of the One extends beyond this world . . . ." "Captain, these lights are crawling with calamari!" OK, OK, sorry) and a murky pastiche of Alien, Star Wars and, worse, Star Trek ("The dock is breached!") that creaks along like a junk heap heaving through hyperspace."
-- From The Philadelphia Inquirer
""Will Neo wake up?" "Will humanity survive?" "What's for tea tonight?" "Gosh, is that the time?" are all questions you may ask during the first mind-numbing 40 minutes, with its rambling conversations and snoreful philosophical noodlings."
-- From the BBCi
"My admiration for "The Matrix Revolutions" is limited only by the awkward fact that I don't much give a damn what happens to any of the characters. If I cared more about Neo, Morpheus, Niobe and the others, there'd be more fire in my heart."
-- Roger Ebert (and this was one of the most positive reviews too!)
