At the first annual Cosmique Movie
Awards, the first Matrix film was awarded Best Visual Effects of All
Time, and the film was nominated for Best Science Fiction/Fantasy Film of All
Time (losing to Brazil). (A small contingent also lobbied to nominate it
for Most Over-Rated Movie of All Time, but the category only existed for actors,
not films.)
So when it was first announced that there
would be not one but two sequels released in 2003, early buzz suggested that
The Return of the King might have some competition. Of course, that was
before anyone actually saw them. The Matrix: Reloaded ended up receiving
only four nominations, two of them negative, and The Matrix: Revolutions
failed to drag enough voters to the theater to even bother nominating it for
anything.

Reviews from Cosmo Voters:
I tried to watch this movie, I really
did. I can honestly say that it was the only 2003 film I watched that I had
to turn off (fortunately, I saw it on DVD). I even managed to sit through
all of "From Justin to Kelly," so that says a lot about what I'm willing to
endure. I know this film has its admirers (somewhere), but I confess I'm not
one of them.
My grade: D -
