DonShin's rating
Watching this movie for the first time sober the other day, I continued to laugh hysterically as I did during earlier viewings. And it didn't take me long to figure out why I enjoy this movie so much: with its Whitesnake references and silly college setting, it reeks of a nostalgia that I can personally identify with. Additionally, I was watching this with my roomies that I've known since grade school, and concluded that the three main characters are us in about 3-5 years. 8/10 (this is a subjective assessment)
... and they need to get paid for criticizing something, even when the criticism isn't necessarily appropriate.
I'm not sure what the naysayers were expecting from the movie, but I found it to be a fitting end to a stylish and thought-provoking trilogy. Naturally, I was disappointed by Reloaded like most people (how could any sequel realistically live up to the first Matrix?). But most of Revolutions I found riveting and almost beautiful, especially the ending.
Last point, albeit a personal one: I saw this movie during a weekend getaway in Vegas with some friends, and the deeper universal themes of the film will be what I remember most about the trip. 8/10.

Judging from the fine cast (how entertainingly maddening is Robert Carlyle?), there was no shortage of talent there. However, the plot itself was, um, hard to swallow, and the direction of the film is an absolute joke. And this movie may have had the worst musical direction I've ever heard (quasi-60s/Beatles-type acoustic background music for a film set in the 1840s?!). What should have been a horrifying thriller is instead a bizarre disappointment. 3/10.
