The worst reason to change phase for ever!!!

Really, "Matrix Revolution" was every bit as bad as everybody had said, and then there were a few bad bits that nobody had yet mentioned to me, and then there was the fact that seeing the three of them back to back really drove home the point how utterly and beyond despcription brilliant the first part was, how mediocre the second, and how grottaceous the third.

And for that I came home at seven in the morning, and slept till three in the afternoon...

My head is still hurting from the fast and furious blinks of light that the third movie consisted of (mainly), to say nothing of the pointless noise, the fact that the parts that weren't all metal and fire were all rain and mud and goo and blood, and nary a new idea anywhere in sight, no mental challenge, not even some decent martial arts.

All the major losing points the Lady Cilli points out in her review for Areion this week (sorry, link is in German!) were present, plus a few points she was probably too weary to mention as well in her Most Disappointing Movie Ever sort of review: how the good things from part two were discontinued and the music wasn't really new; how ridiculous the Zion ship uniform thinggy was: everybody was wearing these utterly ratty knitted sweaters, with dirt and huge holes and ladders, but only the captains were entitled to have their (just as ratty) sweaters in red; how silly it was to make Agent Smith, a mere computer virus, into the Most Terrible Threat Known to Human And Machine Alike, and how the machines actually kept their bargain with the humans (imagine a industrial scale chicken farmer striking and keeping a bargain with the millions of nameless fowl in his cages); how Monica Bellucci was positively wasted on sitting beside the Merovingian, smiling sweetly and just uttering one sentence when she'd been one of the high points of part two with her incredibly stylish cream-coloured rubber dress and her twisted-fairy-tale price of a kiss from Neo...

Apart from that I would have liked to see the Twins again (did you see how Andy Collins whom we all enjoyed so much at GrisseCon said on his web site they looked a bit as the Watchers were supposed to look (remark made all the way at the bottom of the page); and don't worry, mercredi, the links are in English this time).

And a bit more of a victory party in Zion would definitely have been in order as a sort of coda, as we all know from part two what incredible parties they have in Zion, almost as good as the one at GrisseCon... Instead, that nauseating sunrise!! I really preferred the one I got on the way home.

All in all, what a waste of time!
