Here's a movie funny review of the second funniest movie ever.

THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS

Neo Superstar

Review by: Vives Anunciacion

Mr. Anderson is back. We missed the guy. In the long run, I think people will remember Agent Smith more than Mr. Anderson himself. In the Matrix Revolutions, the final installment in the sci-fi trilogy, Keanu Reeves returns as Neo, savior of Zion, prophet of peace, Prada trenchcoat manikin, Neo Christ Superstar.

Immediately reminding us where Reloaded ends, Revolutions begins with Neo comatose after his transfiguring encounter with sentinels. While the humans of Zion make a last stand against the hordes of Machine City, the rapidly-evolving Agent Smith makes his own ominous comeback, threatening to overrun both the Matrix and the realworld. The solution-- and the perplexing ending-- comes when Neo journeys to the heart of Machine City and makes peace deal with Deus Ex Machina in order to end the terror of Smith.

My summary goes this way: the Superstar is resurrected, and goes of to Mt. Doom to barter with the Wizard of Oz. Meanwhile, the Rebel Alliance vainly tries to stave of the attack of the Empire clones on Helm's Deep. Replicant Mr. Smith threatens the very Matrix itself by overwhelming it with his too many selves, but finally Superstar gets rid of Smith in a specatacular wirefu Anime-esque showdown ala Ghost Fighter. At which point we hear the Alleluiah chorus of Hendel's Messiah.

I kept waiting for a "Luke-I-am-your-father" moment but there was none. I waited for that "we-are-in-the-Matirx/this-is-not-reality" feeling after the movie, similar to what we all felt after the first movie was shown. Nada mas. I kept waiting, because I believed there is a bigger story to Neo. Just when the series started growing on me, we get a movie frantically rushing to meet its end. Revolutions is all action-- lots and lots of incredibly choreographed, visceral, relentless action sequences frenetically edited and atrociously scored (hence the musical reference in the review title) with surprisingly more confounding unanswered questions than apocalyptic revelations. I was expecting a huge pay-off after that embarrassment that is the Matrix Reloaded, but I felt more questions emerged from seeing the last (?) of Trinity, Morpheus and Neo. At least the Animatrix had more acceptable starts and ends.

I missed the old Oracle (Gloria Foster). I didn't like the replacement (Mary Alice). Ms. Foster passed away right after filming Reloaded, so she was replaced. Morpheus after yakking cryptic zen and profundityin the first two films, is practically mute in Revolutions.

Morpheus went from Buddha to Homer Simpson as fast as Neo can fly. And there just isn't any love in the eyes of Neo and Trinity, the poor girl. Yin and yang is the theme of the Revolutions, but the movie merely touched on the dualities of the characters to establish cosmic Karma of Scorched Earth.

Overall, Revolutions is an adrenaline-pumped, hyper-action movie that begins the series again instead of ending it, Armageddon-style.

No doubt, The Matrix Trilogy will leave a lasting mark in cinema, in part because of its weird open ending, but more so because of its contributions to visual effects.

Matrix Revolutions insists that everything that has a beginning has to end somewhere- we're just not told when exactly since The Matrix still exists after the Revolution. Neo will have his re-genesis, and he shall live forever and ever.
