Title: So disappointing
Review: The action and effects were great, but the Matrix presumes to be something deeper. It turns out that it's just confusing mush.There's a lot of talk about choice and purpose and love--and if this trilogy is to mean something it ought to say something. And you think it's going to. But it doesn't. Smith asks Neo why he gets up, why he continues to fight. Neo just says, "Because I choose to." Ridiculous. Is that all the Wachowskis want to say? After all the interaction of choice, destiny and love, Neo ends up a pure existentialist? Again, I say, ridiculous.And to top it off, Neo's "choice" results in peace with the machines. Peace! Are you kidding? After the wonderfully rich set up of the machines as symbolic of the way our own pride, ambition and hubris can blind and enslave us, the result is peace with the enslaver? Huh?They should have stopped with just the first one. They got completely lost with the next two.
Is the review positive or negative?
