Bubs: Let’s see…Where do I start?

Hal: Woah!

Bubs: Nice. First of all, I want to say that I liked this movie better than Matrix Reloaded. With that said... I would like to say that this movie was not a disappointment to me…

Hal: Well that’s a very good thing… you were beginning to scare me.

Bubs: Reloaded was the disappointment... So I went in to revolutions knowing that I was already disappointed in the Matrix "Trilogy". (Trilogy in the loosest sense of the word. The Matrix stands alone, just because a movie does well at the box office doesn’t mean you should drum up 2 more to complete a "Trilogy".)

Hal: Oh boy here we go...

Bubs: I went because I wanted to see it through... you know... kinda like Episodes 1 & 2. You know, after seeing the green-screened - CGI filled "films" (once again in quotations), the third one is going to be a major disappointment.

Hal: But I did see you shed a couple of tears…

Bubs: Tears of shame.

Hal: I think you held my hand at one point.

Bubs: Yeah, I was going for your popcorn… I missed.

Hal: Ahhhh.

Bubs: But I tell ya buddy, I loved the action sequences.

Hal: You got to admit they got back to the basics on this last one. It had a lot of the same feel as the first.

Bubs: Absolutely. They got back to their roots with the wire effects... which is what The Matrix was known for.

Hal: The story too.

Bubs: Right... noticeably missing from this movie… and in Reloaded. I found my self not really caring for the characters at all.

Hal: I will admit some things were a little drug out. Oh and could any one understand the French guy and the Chinese dude in the club?

Bubs: Yeah no kidding. Put the only 2 guys with strong accents in the scene, and turn up the music so you can't understand either one. Real smart.

Hal: Hey Bubs… did you notice that the Oracle was… ummm… different?

Bubs: Yeah. The actress that played the Oracle died.

Hal: Oh really?

Bubs: Yeah. They had to re-write the story to make her character make sense. They should have put that much attention into all the characters.

Hal: Are you sure on that she wasn't some upgrade or downgrade?

Bubs: She was a decent replacement. But, do you know who I liked a lot?

Hal: Who?

Bubs: The infected-with-an-agent-smith guy. He was awesome!

Hal: Yeah!! He was a badass!

Bubs: He had the inflection and everything down. That, to me was the coolest part of the movie. I love simplicity. No CGI… No fancy makeup… Just a good character actor. That’s a breath of fresh air in this effects-heavy movie age.

Hal: Blind Neo was a cool twist too.

Bubs: Yeah... that was neat. It was cool that he could see, beyond.

Hal: Like my magic 8 ball… Woah!!

Bubs: I know Kung Fu...

Hal: Ya know Bubs, I missed stuff like that. Downloading stuff into their heads. "Tank… patch me in… I need to know how to jump-start a helicopter… and while you’re at it… I need guns… lots of guns."

Bubs: Right...lemme type it in... MOVIE STYLE!!

asdfak;sliweifsdjkcmksaf;aei[pfiojfsda;qjfa!!!

Hal: I need some more agent stuff too!!

Bubs: Right... kjoijafkdsa;ikfj;askfkswopiewo!!!

Hal: Jumping from people to people!!

Bubs: jaklfjakldklfjaskfj;asl!!

Hal: More office buildings!!!

Bubs: afsdklfjakliaoj… My fingers are cramping... afdlsajkalsdafsdaf!!! Hey... wait... did Trinity die in this movie?

Hal: I don’t think so…Wait… did she…?

Bubs: Either way... I lost all interest in her character.

Hal:: Wait… She did die!! Why, oh why, Bubs, why!! So young… so sweet… so much leather.

Bubs: Ya know… If she would have died in the 1st movie... I would have been heart-broken. But when she died at the end I actually felt relieved. Finally Neo could kick ass without her holding him back!

Hal: The fight at the end with Agent Smith was awesome!!

Bubs: True dat. I only noticed the CGI once.

Hal: He did kick major ass!

Bubs: But any CGI character in the rain, or water looks weird. They do that weird shake off the wetness thing...and it blows the effect every time.

Hal: Bubs? What do you think happened to Neo?

Bubs: The robots that took him are hiding him… For Matrix RESURRECTON!!!!!

Hal: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Bubs: You see, the first movie is like the Hobbit.

Hal: Right.

Bubs: Were' actually only on "The Two Towers". We’ve got the "Return of the King" to go. Don't be suprised... they left it wide open.

Hal: With rainbows.

Bubs: Right. Peace only lasts until they're out of cash.

Hal: Too true, Bubs, too true. So how do you rate it?

Bubs: As an Action film... 8. As a final chapter to a trilogy... 2. And out of the 3 others... 2nd. Needless to say, I stand by my Reloaded review... to the letter. How about you?

Hal: Action… 9. Final chapter… 6. Out of the three… I feel it was great where it was. As for Reloaded, I still feel it was an important part of the puzzle. If you played Enter the Matrix… you get even more of the story.

Bubs: I still think a movie needs to stand on its own... no games... no books... nothing more to buy.

Hal: Play the game, Bubs, then we will talk. It has great characters, story, and game play.

Bubs: I have no doubts that the game is awesome. I'm just a big believer in the movie standing alone. Let me put it to you this way… years from now... lets say ten... PS2, Game Cube, and X-box will most likely be out of date... and Enter the Matrix will be no more. But the Matrix Trilogy will be released in the latest technology, (DVD/VHS)... Where will you be then, when you are showing it to a younger generation? They won't appreciate the movie because the video game contained half of the story line. That's my problem with a partial movie story line.

Hal: Bubs I have crashed our ship a couple of times, but I won’t steer you wrong.

Bubs: Adding to the story is one thing... taking away from it to make a buck, is another.

Hal: Bubs buddy...I love ya.

Bubs: Thanks...

Hal: Where’s my bud?

Bubs: Right here.

Hal: Say "yub yub" for me.

Bubs: No... You're embarrassing me.

Hal: You were turning a shade of purple.

Bubs: I was not.

Hal: Were too.

Bubs: Not.

Hal: Yub yub…

Bubs: Yub. There… I said it.

Hal: Yippie!! Now… The Matrix…We hated it, right?

Bubs: The whole trilogy? Or just the first one?

Hal: Revolutions… We hated it, right?

Bubs: Liked it for action... hated it for story. That's fair, right?

Hal: Well, there we go… if ya can't beat ‘em… join ‘em.

Bubs: Like Neo did with Agent Smith. Oh! One more thing…Why didn't they build an EMP outside of Zion? I still can't figure that out.

Hal: Because their captain of the army was a jerk.

Bubs: And he had to run it by the council...

Hal: Jerk.

Bubs: And they would rather die than have Neo save them.

Hal: Right. I hated the council.

Bubs: Me too. Well bud, here's to Return of the King... a guarantee Bubs favorite.

Hal: Me too… Lord of the Rings can do no wrong.

Bubs: True dat.

Hal: Lets go eat some Tasty-Wheat… and call it chicken.

Bubs: Ummm… okay?
