Matrix Revolutions

I finally got around to the Matrix Revolutions. I had read a number of reviews, all uniformly rotten, before going to the movie. So what did I think?

I like it but it sure didn't reach the heights of the first movie. First my complaints.

There was very little surpise in this movie. The whole train station scene didn't seem that meaningful and a little drawn out. The dock scene was filled with characters I had very little attachment to.

What did I like?

Seeing old friends.Let's face it sometimes we keep the franchises going just because we like to see the characters who become like old friends. Seeing the "rain" fight scene. Seeing Neo and Trinity go the surface. Ambiguity at the last scene. Is Neo dead? Will he come back?

What do I wish was better?

I wish the scene with the Oracle had been better. Some surprise explanation of of why Neo has powers outside of the Matrix would have been good.

While I enjoyed the movie I hope they are done.
