Hopefully if the title of this review wasn't enough to deter you from seeing
this movie, the fact that I just ruined the ending for you is. All you losers
who emailed me after I ripped apart the last
cinematic train wreck trying to defend the movie
with promises of "all the questions" being answered in the final chapter of
this trilogy were wrong. Not just wrong like "oops, I'm a philosophy major,"
I mean wrong like you just invested your retirement in Enron.
Where to start? First, the good things about this movie:
It took me literally 20 minutes to write that last paragraph because everything
else about this movie was shitty, except for the special effects, which aren't
as impressive as they used to be. There's something about seeing "bullet-time"
special effects in Lebanese music videos that doesn't make it cool anymore.
The dialogue is tacky, not unlike a pregnant woman in a
bathing suit (unless you're into that sort of thing, in which case you might
find the dialogue strangely erotic).
For example, any time a character asked the question "what
do you want?" It was always answered with "the same thing you want." The
pain you suffer during this movie registers somewhere between
being jack-hammered in the face and having scissors jammed into your urethra:
I just remembered how boring this movie was and it's pissing me off. Then this
dumb bitch sitting next to me kept getting excited and yelling at the
screen "close the hatch, close the hatch!!! Don't let it get you!!!" Thanks
moron, I'm sure the actors on screen will take note of that, because they're
not just beams of light shot through a shitty
projector in a shitty theater in shitty Utah. They should have called this
movie The Matrix: Stupid Boring Dog Shit Part III. I give my word to
retract 100% of my statements about this movie if the DVD is subtitled
"stupid boring dog shit part III." It'll never happen.
Update: I've been getting quite a bit of email from people asking me to
