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.
I DO see your point, there are definitely some criticism that could be made about the movie.

Like the one you pointed out, how is it that Morpheus and Trinity are suddenly able stand up against the agants all of the sudden??

And how about at least an explanation in some sort conversation that would explain the sudden disappearance of Tank. (Link IS Tank's brother-in-law, and Tank's replacement). What actually happened to the Tank character, there needed to be at least some explanation.

...and what was up with the fake ass CG?? There were countless times that the CG was just not right. You can really pick out the "cartoonish" parts.

But I would have to disagree about the movie being "a steaming pile". Even with it's inconsistancy that are not yet explained, the movie was definitely thought provoking and entertaining....WOOO HOOO can't wait for the next one....BRING IT ON!!!
