My partner (who is on vacation without me) saw this yesterday at a 3AM viewing -- what a crazy weirdo!! He said he liked it very much too.

I thought it was excellent! I'm so glad we all seem to agree here, as elsewhere it's had some pretty terrible reviews. It was so much better than the second one, and I loved the parallel love stories.

My brother took me to see this last night (wasn't that sweet of him???!) I loved it!!! After reading reviews I thought it was going to be bad, but it was so perfect in a sort of "Greek Tragedy" way!

Hmmm...I'm wondering if I saw the same movie. I hated it.

Before we went to see it and I saw all the bad reviews, I told my bf that maybe you had to be a true fan of the first movies to appreciate this one. Blah, the reviewers were right, great special effects as always, but the storyline got totally muddled.

After seeing this movie, I hope they never begin another Matrix sequel. But as my bf pointed out - Every ending is a new beginning

az, were you a fan of the first 2?

Yes, I loved the first one. I thought the second one wasn't quite as good, but it was great as far as a bridge between episodes of a trilogy.

The only reason we didn't go on the first night is because the tickets sold out so fast. We couldn't get in till the 3rd night after release of the movie here. But, that's how much we looked forward to it. We booked tickets in advance, the day they went on sale.

I went in with an open mind because I just thought the reviewers weren't really fans of the movie, but I have to say the reviews were right. It sucked :(

Ohh...you guys...can there be a spoiler thread like with the last Matrix installment? I want to read what you guys think, but I don't want to know what happens until I see it this coming weekend. Or at least post a spoiler warning on your post (there was a give-away using the new message feature). I think it's a giveaway. I don't know though cause I haven't seen it yet. Thanks, and I'm glad most seem to have liked it. I can't wait to see it.

I saw it last night- one of only about 20 people in the threater. honestly- I fell asleep for a while during it. I had said- I want to see Elf, I don't want to see the Matrix one until I can rent the last two and get refreshed.- Basically I just couldn't get into it. I give it a thumbs sideways.

I enjoyed it.

I think that most of the people who didn't like it, didn't get alot of the symbolism of the whole trilogy.
Just my opinion...

Not aimed at just you, Neko, but I'm a little tired of people telling me that the reason I don't like Reloaded and Revolutions as much as the Matrix, is because I don't understand it.

The Matrix was a brilliant and intriguing movie. Reloaded had dazzling affects and a not so great story line, but I excused it's insufficient story line because the movie was a trilogy bridge.

Revolutions is a muddled mess at best. We were promised answers and all we got were more questions and the biggest question is, 'How did the W brothers manage to screw up such a good story?'

Doing some research I've found that it's been alleged that the W brothers stole the original Matrix script from another writer, Sophia Stewart. Reloaded and Revolutions were the W brothers own original story line. If this is true, it explains a lot to me. The people writing Reloaded and Revolutions didn't understand the Matrix.

If that's true Azriel, it does explain alot.
Because even though I did enjoy the entire trilogy, I agree with alot of people with the view that the 2nd and 3rd weren't completely up to par.

Good, but not as good...

This seems to be a dead thread but i'll post anyway.

It was REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLYYYYY bad. The symbolisms were mediocre at best and the ending was schmaltzy.
