   So...   
      
   I'm trying to figure out why it sucks as badly as everyone says it does.   
   Granted the fact that I saw it on an IMAX screen helped.   
      
   So, the critics bitch because it didn't deliver .. something or other   
   they're rather vague on that. One of the first bitches in here was that   
   it was a typical hollywood ending ... except that the girl dies, the   
   hero dies and he doesn't even get to see the sunset much less ride off   
   into it. But it was a pretty cool sunset.   
      
   the war is over, well for the moment. Wonder how many times that's   
   happened in the past with Zion and Machine World.   
      
   Then the complaint about no new supereffects type bullshit stuffs... I   
   dunno, the Zion fight scene was kinda neat. Topside was fairly cool.   
   Machine City was really neat IMO, very Geiger - the buildings move! -   
   and the funeral barge at the end was an interesting touch.   
      
   My only comment on them going over the clouds:   
   *POP* out of the cloud bank, "yee-haw!", *POP* back into it.   
      
   Machines fight stupid though, I can see the Machine General .. "ok,   
   swarm around randomly until you see a shiny object then obliterate the   
   shiny object by ramming it really really hard." Said shiny object being   
   anything that moved.   
      
   Neo's last words should've been "woah." not "aaaahhhh!" ... or is that   
   typecasting the guy too much? I did like the Train Station .. run off,   
   run back on, "shit."   
      
   It wasn't high brow cinema. The message has been done to death in   
   stories since people learned to tell them. It at least looked pretty   
   cool. It's a movie, it's a decent movie. Trilogy I suppose. Well, you   
   know I have a bone to pick with that thought. It's really 2 Movies, the   
   second one was just split in half with a six month wipe between scenes.   
      
   I did like how Deus Ex Machina was a massive collection of machines   
   instead of just one machine. No little man behind a curtain there.
