The Matrix Revolutions, the third installment, was met with mixed reception. According to review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the consensus was that “characters and ideas take a back seat to the special effects”.[111] Paul Clinton, writing for CNN, praised the special effects but felt Reeves’s character was unfocused.[112] In contrast, the San Francisco Chronicle’s Carla Meyer was highly critical of the special effects, writing, “[The Wachowskis] computer-generated imagery goes from dazzling to deadening in action scenes that favor heavy, clanking weaponry over the martial-arts moves that thrilled viewers of The Matrix and The Matrix Reloaded.”[113] Nevertheless, the film grossed $427 million worldwide, although less than the two previous films.[114] Something’s Gotta Give, a romantic comedy, was Reeves’s last release of 2003. He co-starred with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton, and played Dr. Julian Mercer in the film. Something’s Gotta Give received generally favourable reviews.[115]
