Facing total annihilation, the citizens of the last bastion of humanity fight not only for their own lives, but for the future of mankind itself. But an unknown ... [+]

	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"My admiration for 'The Matrix Revolutions' is limited only by the awkward fact that I don't much give a damn what happens to any of the characters (...) My regard is more for the technical triumph of the movie, less for the emotions it evokes (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	J.R. Jones Chicago Reader	"I walked out on 'The Matrix' (1999) bored stiff, but after watching all three movies end to end I'm more charitably disposed toward their hard-charging but harmless mix of two-bit space opera, middle-school metaphysics, and digital derring-do"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"All this bombast, which may raise an honest goose bump or two, cannot dispel the overall atmosphere of exhaustion (...) There is very little that is tantalizing or suspenseful"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"At the risk of understatement, 'The Matrix Revolutions sucks'. It’s not that the final chapter in the trilogy doesn’t have stunts and visual wizardry to drop your jaw. It’s just that it all adds up to a supersize nothing (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"You can virtually see the mystique peeling away while beholding the turgid melodrama, patchy plotting, windy dialogue and, yes, spectacular combat effects of this grand finale"	NEG
United States	David Denby The New Yorker	"At its best, the picture is violently exciting; at its worst, banal and monotonous."	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"'The Matrix Revolutions' is where I sadly fell out of love with the whole exotic franchise (...) [It] is a bit rubbish"	NEG
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"What once represented the future of science fiction cinema has become little more than a solid genre offering (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"For all their skill at wrangling effects, the Wachowskis no longer seem to know how to handle anything more."	NEU
United States	Ed Gonzalez Slant	"Unlike its bloated predecessor, 'Matrix Revolutions' actually has a heart (...) Make no mistake: 'Matrix Revolutions' is really nothing more than a glorified shooting game (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
