Title: Matrix should have stopped at number 2
Review: I am a Matrix fan. I saw the first one three times in the theater and countless times on DVD. The second Matrix delivered almost as much with the "New Smith" reproducing countlessly-- balancing Neo's new superpowers. The third in the series is a disappointment. It departs from the person to person combat that typified the first and to some extent the second. Instead we are treated to more cryptic dialogue, religious symbology to the point of storyline distortion and overblown special effects that become much less satisfying--just as they become the most intense.The final battle between Neo and Smith was a letdown. The repeated use of water exploding when they clash was just too much. I expecting something cleverer from the Wachowski brothers.If you want to see this just to tie up the loose ends in Matrix Reloaded, rent it. If you want almost mindless action, eye candy watch the second half
