The Matrix Revolutions
If you were expecting some answers or more revelations about the nature of the Matrix, then forget about it, because Revolutions doesn't do either of that. Instead, we get the first half hour setting up the plot (the party splits into two), the next hour on the battle of Zion and the last on Neo's fight with Smith. Granted, the battle of Zion was exciting and a lot of explosions happening. It wasn't boring at all but you can't help but feel that Revolutions ended up focusing more of the action and big scale fights rather than the philosophic side of things that made the first movie so enjoyable. The end fight against Smith wasn't that great as it relied heavily on CGI, and the moves weren't as imaginative. It feels more like a fight of two Superman's (with all the flying and super strength). The resolution wasn't that great either with little explanation on what happened and why. While not a bad movie, the battle scenes were large scaled and intense, it's just disappointing in that it did not live up to the expectations set by it's predecessors.
