My The Matrix Revolutions review: amazing action, a bleak mood, weak Smith CGI and an ending that left me with questions. Closure, but no first-film magic. 2.5 to 3.
My The Matrix Reloaded review: great freeway action, but the rave, the Architect and the twins left me cold. Not the continuation I wanted. 3 out of 5.
My The Matrix 1999 review: the cryptic ads, five trips back to the cinema, the dojo, the subway and the rooftop. Everything about it worked. 5 out of 5.
My Revenge of the Sith review: Vader’s birth is the useful part and Order 66 is interesting, but the rest was average. 3.5 out of 5.
My Attack of the Clones review: slightly better than the last one, with good fights and a story that was a waste of time. 2 out of 5.
My The Phantom Menace review: I queued for the midnight launch and it hurt. Jar Jar, midi-chlorians and a slow plot. 1.2 out of 5.
My Return of the Jedi review: the Ewoks put people off but I loved it, from Han’s rescue to Endor to Vader and the Emperor. Better than Empire for me.
