1.5 | "Once the Wachowskis dragged us down the rabbit-hole, they had nothing left to show, just hokum and ideas stolen from other films." |
| Film Threat |
| Chris Barsanti |
2.5/5 | "So disappointing they may as well have bussed in Ewoks to save Zion." |

| Christopher Null |
A- | "Let the suspense end... it's a fantastic film on many levels." |
| EDGE Boston |
| David Foucher |
3.5/4 | "Though inferior to its predecessors, Revolutions does manage to keep the eyes intrigued for two hours of solid and well-photographed action sequences." |

| David Keyes |
2.5/4 | "Hey, it's better than The Matrix Reloaded!" |
| Movie Boeuf |
| David N. Butterworth |
3/4 | "...one of the more entertaining mindless action flicks to come around in a while." |
| Reel Film Reviews |
| David Nusair |
C | "Enough of this bubkes (Yiddish for big nothing), already!" |
| Ozus' World Movie Reviews |
| Dennis Schwartz |
1/4 | "A woeful, sloppy, misbegotten load of crap. In other words, it makes its two predecessors look like examples of modern cinematic masterpieces in comparison." |
| TheMovieBoy.com |
| Dustin Putman |
2.5/4 | "The Wachowskis lay on the spiritual allegory thick, but the film's fragile, better-than-here hopefulness is genuinely unsettling." |
| Slant Magazine |
| Ed Gonzalez |
| "Prefiero conservar el recuerdo de la primera, aquella sorpresa de 1999..." |
| Uruguay Total |
| Enrique Buchichio |
B | "It doesn't have the gee-whiz factor of Vol. I, nor its mind-bending ideas... What it is, is a fairly straightforward futuristic action-adventure flick, and a good one at that." |
| EricDSnider.com |
| Eric D. Snider |
3/4 | "Time will tell whether or not the hardcore Matrix fans will be walking out with chants of “Jedi”." |
| eFilmCritic.com |
| Erik Childress |
B- | "An exciting adventure despite its shortcomings... But in concluding the trilogy so carelessly, the Wachowskis have betrayed my trust and broken my heart." |
| Film Blather |
| Eugene Novikov |
2.5/4 | "Parece ser que los hermanos Wachowski olvidaron las virtudes de la película original y se perdieron en su ego frente al cheque en blanco y absoluto poder creativo que recibieron de la Warner Bros." |
| Doncinema.com |
| Flavio J. Arosemena |
2/4 | "...a frantic and ponderous piece that is content enough to go through its wooden stage and whimper out with a deadening bang...[a] mind-bending misguided mess" |

| Frank Ochieng |
D+ | "A mixture of frantic but empty action and solemn, even more vacuous philosophizing that ends up simultaneously pretentious and puerile." |
| One Guy's Opinion |
| Frank Swietek |
| "Ends as it began with a salute to faith that accepts mystery, is firm in a resolve to see things through, and is propelled by choices that make all the difference." |
| Spirituality and Practice |
| Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat |
D+ | "A by-the-book action picture that has no revolutionary aspects at all -- overlong, overthought and overdone." |
| Mixed Reviews |
| Gabriel Shanks |
2.5/4 | "Overlong and underwhelming, The Matrix Revolutions reinforces the thinking that it's a rare movie series in which the final chapter is the strongest." |
| ReelViews |
| James Berardinelli |
| "You’ll be asking yourself questions like: why does that one guy look like KFC’s Colonel Sanders? Does this count as product placement and did KFC pay for this?
" |
| Sci-Fi Movie Page |
| James O'Ehley |
5/10 | "Characterization, plot, and speculations on life and reality take a backseat to the martial arts shoot ‘em up sequences, which seem overly long and decidedly ho-hum." |
| Reel.com |
| James Plath |
2/5 | "Epic trilogy's final installment feels like a trailer for itself -- and more than a little bit wrong." |
| Netflix |
| James Rocchi |
1.5/4 | "Only hardcore fans will delight at the surface slick to which the brothers Wachowski have succumbed to conclude their philosophical opus." |
| Aufmuth.com |
| Jeanne Aufmuth |
8/10 | "Its attempt at bringing a discussion of free will to the masses is admirable, even if its effectiveness is hampered." |
| Window to the Movies |
| Jeffrey Chen |
3.5/10 | "It feels tired, recycled and redundant as it shares many of the same faults that made the second installment a disappointing sequel for those who loved the original." |
| Screen It! |
| Jim Judy |
6/10 | "I did like this film a little more than Reloaded, if only because all of the hogwash psycho-babble is replaced by wicked CGI shoot-outs." |
| JoBlo's Movie Emporium |
| JoBlo |
5/10 | "...more of the same, with nothing surprising, nothing any longer mind-boggling, and nothing most viewers couldn't guess would happen going in." |
| DVDTown.com |
| John J. Puccio |
| ""...it now becomes apparent that creators Andy and Larry Wachowski, the Emperors of Gucci trench coats and bullet time, have no clothes." |
| Light Views |
| John Larsen |
6/10 | "The final chapter in the Wachowski brothers' trilogy about stylish sunglasses, leather trenchcoats, freshly baked cookies and Wire Fu." |
| Planet Sick-Boy |
| Jon Popick |
3/4 | "'Como capítulo final de una trilogía adorada por millones, cumple con lo que ofrece, a pesar de que deja varios cabos sueltos. Por lo menos es mejor cinta que Recargado'" |
| Moviola |
| Jorge Avila Andrade |
1.5/5 | "Like all the Oracles throughout history advise, "Temet nosce" - well I know I don't want any more of this." |
| Cinerina |
| Karina Montgomery |
3.5/4 | "... for all the characters you met when you found out what the Matrix was, you'll want to see how their stories conclude." |
| MovieCrypt.com |
| Kevin A. Ranson |
3.5/4 | "A relentless assault on the senses, with epic sci-fi action on a level we've rarely seen." |
| Montreal Film Journal |
| Kevin N. Laforest |
C+ | "The Wachowskis have served up passable entertainment... but they fail to deliver on their own mythology." |
| Reeling Reviews |
| Laura Clifford |
3/5 | "It brings the saga to a satisfying close." |
| TV Guide's Movie Guide |
| Maitland McDonagh |
1.5/4 | "Thus ends the Matrix trilogy, not even with the dignity of a whimper but with the timid finality of a dull thud." |
| Mark Reviews Movies |
| Mark Dujsik |
2.5/4 | "Merely an ending, instead of a grand, satisfying conclusion" |
| Movie Habit |
| Marty Mapes |
| "We’ve been cheated. We’ve been misled. It’s like discovering there’s no Santa Claus and getting socks under the tree in the same year." |
| Flick Filosopher |
| MaryAnn Johanson |
3/5 | "Is this a good movie? Hell, I don't know. I don't think so, although I liked it." |
| Goatdog's Movies |
| Michael W. Phillips, Jr. |
2.5/4 | "What started off as hip, cool, and intelligent has become loud, bombastic, and stupid." |
| Aisle Seat |
| Mike McGranaghan |
C- | "Please someone, get me the blue pill. I want to forget that this ambitious and noteworthy series is ending so weakly." |
| Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies |
| Nell Minow |
C | "Zzzzzz." |
| Lessons of Darkness |
| Nick Schager |
3/5 | "Revolutions encerrou de maneira melancólica uma saga que teve início de forma inteligente e promissora." |
| Cinema em Cena |
| Pablo Villaca |
| "Though visually spectacular, 'The Matrix Revolutions' is a disappointing climax to what had previously been one of the great movie series of recent years." |
| Critic Doctor |
| Peter Sobczynski |
2/5 | "Those action sequences are seriously impressive! Pity the rest of the film is so limp and vacuous." |
| Shadows on the Wall |
| Rich Cline |
2/5 | "Some of this stuff is just cheesy in the same way it's been cheesy in dozens of cheaper, less cultish films." |
| eFilmCritic.com |
| Rob Gonsalves |
C- | "It succeeds only in diminishing its predecessors' legacy, and turning a cinematic landmark into nothing more than business as usual. What a waste." |
| Flipside Movie Emporium |
| Rob Vaux |
B | "The third film in the series, while not quite as good as the first film, does bring the trilogy to a satisfying conclusion." |
| Laramie Movie Scope |
| Robert Roten |
C | "I grew tired after the hundred thousandth Sentinel was blasted to oblivion as they steadily encroached on their human opponents’ territory" |
