They retconned themselves, and that did annoy me.

I agree with this completely. Neo can stop bullets and fly, but what happened to the Neo that could see the world as data and could manipulate that data as he saw fit? Made me think the brothers were hedging their bets as to whether the sequels would get made. If they didn't, the ending of the first suggests Neo is about to dismantle the matrix with his bare hands. The only problem was that the sequels did get approved. So they had to bring Neo back (figuratively) to earth.
I think Agent Smith is The One. While there may have been six or seven Neos prior to this, this Agent Smith is apparently a new entity. He also killed the Keymaker, which wasn't part of the Architect's plans.
This trailer has restored my faith in trilogies.
