When they had to think for themselves they completely screwed up the second and third movies. I should have clarified, the may know how to make a movie, but they do not know how to write a movie. There is a HUGE difference.

I see no solid evidence that this woman has written the scripts. She has some similarities in her story but not much else...
If this is true, then should Shinobu Hashimoto and Ryuzo Kikushima be given some of the money that was made on Star Wars: A New Hope? Shinobu Hashimoto and Ryuzo Kikushima are the writers on Akira Kurosawa's 1958 film, Kakushi toride no san akunin (The Hidden Fortress). Much of this film was lifted and "infused" into what we know as Star Wars.
What the similarieties in story between Ringo Lam's 1987 film, Long hu feng yun (City on Fire) and Tarrantino's Resevoir Dogs?
The fact is people are influenced all the time. Should the makers of Ghost in the Shell come after the Wachoski's? Hell should the Wachoski's go after all the imitators of their films?
Yes, there may be some story similarities from the draft that she allegedly sent the Wachowski Brothers. If she has a legal leg to stand on, she will win out in a court of law. But reading her, story above, doesn't indicate to me that she wrote The Matrix. At best, she *may* have inspired some bits but she is *far* from the genius you paint her to be.
