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 The Empire Strikes Back review: the Hoth battle, Luke and the wampa, Yoda, Cloud City and Vader’s reveal. One of the darkest endings ever. 10 out of 5.
