The Architect explained exactly what happened in Reloaded. Neo, the anomanly created by free wil, was reinserted back into the prime program of the matrix, thus allowing him to be assimilated back into the source. Smith was also assimilated back into the matrix's prime program because he had infected Neo just before his reinsertion, therefore connecting himself back to the source. Neo knew this had to happen, that it was his purpose, which is why he allowed Smith to infect him instead of fighting on. He made the comment , right before Smith infected him, that "You were right Smith. You were always right. This was innevitable." I'm probably not telling anyone anything new, but maybe this helps clear it up for a few.

The one thing that i think might be getting missed is that Smith was as much a threat to the humans as he was to the machines. In Reloaded he said that the reason for everything to exist was "to end", meaning to cease to exist. He felt this was his purpose now that he was "free," and with his hatred of humans as a whole, was out to kill every sentient being in existence. The reason that he was a threat to the machines was because he wanted to destroy the matrix and be able to get out, as he alludes to in the first movie. This, however, would destroy the machine power source as well, which they were obviously less prepared to accept than the Architect announced in Relaoded. At least that is what I got out of that dialogue.

And i do agree, as I probably said before, that together, Reloaded and Revolutions would make one hell of a movie, possibly THE definitive sci-fi movie of this generation. But apart, Revolutions just seemed far too trim and always in a hurry to end.
The sad thing is, how long will we have to wait for another original idea to find its way to the screen if there are no more matrix films. By my count, and this is only personal opinion, but before this, I would have to go all the way back to 1977, the first Star Wars, to find an idea as original as The Matrix. I just hope its not another 25-30 years to find another gem.
