MATRIX REDUNDANT
CNN reviewer Paul Clinton is panning the (mercifully) last of the Matrix movies. I probably won't bother to see it unless there's nothing else to rent at Blockbuster next summer. I made the mistake of wasting 10 yuan on a pirate DVD of the second movie that I watched one wasted night in Beijing earlier this year. Despite having one (or maybe 1.5) good ideas and some truly cool special effects, the first movie was profoundly stupid, in my opinion: batteries? Come on. With the gross, ham-fisted, pseudo-"philosophy" and post-modern gobbledegook mechanically mouthed by the "characters", even the first movie was hard to take. Stretching the whole thing out into three films is painful.
