The Wachowski brothers have rendered their chronicles into banality, as if trying to imitate the qualitative tailspin of the Star Wars series.

There's nothing even resembling a surprise in the third and weakest installment of the trilogy.

No less than the rankest demagogue, The Matrix Revolutions insists on the primacy of faith over knowledge. Once it locks and loads, however, the triumphant visuals short-circuit anything resembling abstract thought.
J. Hoberman, Village Voice
Rotten
One of the most original concepts in recent fantasy movie history has devolved into something perfectly ordinary.
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
Rotten
An unwieldy, two-plus-hours third act of a movie, guided by the principle (incubated by Reloaded and fully grown here) that too much is never too much.
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly
