Spoiler, but if you're this thick in, you've read the others.
I'm apparently squarely in the minority, but I thought it was a steaming pile. So disappointing. Poor writing, both plot and dialogue wise, careened wildly from fight scene to fight scene with incomprehensible babble in between. I found nothing surprising from beginning to end, with the exception that the Oracle was a program and the prophecy was nothing more than a regressive control system. The Merovengian was so god damned irritating I begged God to end his scene. His twins were sort of neat, but if they really could phase whenever they pleased, why didn't they phase before the car exploded? I refuse to believe that Morpheus, who has demonstrated his ineptitude against agents time and again, was able to defeat the pair. I wanted to like it, had even convinced myself that it was not a total loss, but then the ending came. God, Neo uses his powers outside the matrix, and then the "surprise" of Bane being the survivor; what, did the sentinels just move aside as the Hammer came through to pick him up? Ugh, I'm sick. The best I can say about that movie is it didn't give me cancer. That I know of.
