 RG>> Movie Reviews: 'The Matrix Revolutions'

Absolutely you can.  Discussion is one of the purposes of this echo.

I saw it a couple of weeks ago and went into the theater with no
proconceived notions about how it would be.  Afterward, I did think the
battle scene with the "Squiddys" was a tad long, but that's only
my opinion.  No matter what fans of the original would say, this trilogy is
one of the best to come along in some time, mainly because of its
thought-provoking story line.

I agree.

I agree (again).

Like Superman?  :-)

I still have the feeling this wasn't the end, but different people see
different things in films.
