The Matrix: Revolutions

We finally made it to Revolutions, that unsatistfying end to the original Matrix trilogy. I no longer feel like Reloaded ruined it, and it's not a bad movie. It just wasn't great. I'm glad I finally rewatched it.
Overall, the entire trilogy holds up fairly well. The original was mind-blowing when it came out and is still a great film. The other two are simultaniously better and worse than I remembered them. The second one was too long and the ending just wasn't very satisfying, which is probably why they eventually made the new one, The Matrix: Cash Grab, errr... Resurrections. I'll be wrapping up with that next, even though it took me several attempts to make it through it the first time.
