Matrix Revolutions Decoded, The

I'm very impressed over all. I think the changes are great. I watched this with a few people and only one friend who is basically a matrix purest was disappointed with the end.
I thought down playing the martyr / messiah thing was great.
I hadn't seen the originals in a while so I was a little rusty watching this, which made the movie a little harder to follow. I think if you just saw the first movie and watched this you'd be a little lost, but you'd get there in the end.
The pacing is great, very fast and fluid.
I thought the use of the rave at the end made much more sense.
I thought keeping Trinity alive was a bit tricky but you pulled it off well. It does get visually a little awkward but overall if I wasn't looking for cuts and "mistakes" and was just watching this like a Hollywood movie I might not have noticed all.

I very much enjoyed this version of the Matrix parts II and III. The editing is perfect, except for a bit at the end. The narrative works great. I felt Dezionized went too far, Zion is a good part of the story. Eliminating Neo's power over the machines in the real world seems like a much more precise diagnoses of what was wrong with the originals.

Now to some nitpicking. The "your move" line makes no sense, as the next scene in Zion shows the machines about to enter the cave and wipe everyone out. The problem is we have no machine drills. Even if we did, they would obviously have spares. I'd simply eliminate that line.

I like keeping Trinity alive and eliminating Bane or whatever his name was. Terrible thing in the original, that role. Of course, it gets a bit awkward with the narrative and the editing in machine city. But I'll take it.

Very happy with all the creative choices made, overall, maybe I would have liked to keep the night club scene, which I enjoyed. But all the trainman stuff had to go and if that was the price to pay, so be it.

This was a sensational edit, condensing a sound portion of the second movie, and tightening up the muddled third act, rearranging key scenes and stumbling on very creative solutions to what would normally be narrative dead-ends (how to blind Neo without a struggle with Bane) , to create a very different and tighter sequel worthy of the Matrix's initial promise with fans.

As a fan of this Trilogy since childhood I strongly suggest this edit. This edit provides more of a cohesive story with improved pacing which is far more satisfying way to end the saga and proves that the WB shouldn't have spit the conclusion into 2 movies.

i am a massive fan of the matrix trilogy, but i do understand that number 3 was a bit of a muddled and bloated mess but there were some scenes that did end the story it was just in a whole lot of crap.

well i am happy to announce that is no more as Jerick just made the whole matrix movies work perfectly. i was a big fan of the matrix reprogrammed, now i have an even better cut and every thing goes in to place.

i did not miss any scenes at all this is well edited and thought out, i love the new end credit sequence and i can not praise Jerick enough.

thank you sooooooo much this, it is the perfect matrix edit, now all we need is the wachowski brothers to see this so they dont stuff up any other matrix movie they have planned and to see what they could have done instead of what they did.

i 1000% think that everyone who ever liked the first matrix to watch this one as it ends the matrix series off perfectly and this will replace all my other matrix fanedits and the sequels in my collection.
