If making a whopping amount of cash at the box office is the primary criterion when it comes to judging what makes a good film these days, then we can already consider 'The Matrix Revolutions' as a rip-roaring success. Such is the cult following of this series of movies, that we can rest assured this third and purportedly final instalment of the Wachowski brothers' brain child will, to be frank, rake it in.

On the other hand, if your idea of a top notch cinematic experience relies less on how much the cast and crew are pocketing, and a little more on such old fashioned elements as plot, suspense, characterisation and entertainment, then prepare for the biggest disappointment since - erm - the last 'Matrix' flick.

This one picks up more or less where 'Reloaded' left off, with Neo (Keanu Reeves), Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), Trinity (Carrie-Ann Moss) and co preparing for the impending invasion of those dastardly machines, whilst inside the matrix itself the perma-grinning Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) continues to replicate himself and guffaw wickedly at nothing in particular.

In some places like a massively inferior version of

It's Got: One of the least engaging romantic subplots of the year.

It Needs: To extract head from own buttocks.

Alternatives: The Matrix, The Matrix: Reloaded

Summary: Visually stunning, but in every other way completely and utterly boring. I found myself rooting for the robots, if only for the sake of a swifter ending. Overall Score: 4 out of 10

This storyline of the 3 Matrix films seemed to have the same fate at Neo himself: started out strong and died at the end. In the biggest failure, Matrix Revolutions, it had great effects and a few decent fight scenes (its the Matrix, duh!). But when did the focus shift from saving Humanity to only saving Zion? What about the billions of people still enslaved in the Matrix? Looking back at the original Matrix, "The One" is suppose to end the war with the machines. But if you consider a "temporary cease-fire with the humans on their knees and the hero dead" is ending the War, I guess you'd feel satisfied leaving this movie. But I wasn't.

Madness - Baggy Trousers

Naughty boys in nasty schools
Headmasters breaking all the rules
Having fun and playing fools
Smashing up the woodwork tools
All the teachers in the pub
Passing `round the ready-rub
Trying not to think of when
The lunchtime bell will ring again.

Oh what fun we had
But, did it really turn out bad
All I learnt at school
Was how to bend not break the rules
Oh what fun we had
But at the time it seemed so bad
Trying different ways
To make a difference to the days.

Headmaster's had enough to day
All the kids have gone away
Gone to fight with next-door's school
Every term, that is the rule
Sits alone and bends his cane
Same old backsides again
All the small ones tell tall tales
Walking home and squashing snails.


Oh what fun we had
But, did it really turn out bad
All I learnt at school
Was how to bend not break the rules
Oh what fun we had
But at the time it seemed so bad
Trying different ways
To make a difference to the days.

Lots of girls and lots of boys
Lots of smells and lots of noise
Playing football in the park
Kicking Pushbikes after dark
Baggy trousers, dirty shirt
Pulling hair and eating dirt
Teacher comes to break it up
Back of the `ead with a plastic cup.

Oh what fun we had
But, did it really turn out bad
All I learnt at school
Was how to bend not break the rules
Oh what fun we had
But at the time it seemed so bad
Trying different ways
To make a difference to the days.

Baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers
Baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers
