Is the correct answer.

The second two movies had great cores but were poorly executed, in large part because of all the money they had to make them, in my opinion. To their credit, they are still NOT typical sci-fi action movies, but they do an impression of such at times.
The "burley brawl" almost ruined the whole thing for me, and is a perfect example of what's wrong with the sequels - an idea that started out kinda cool (Agent Smith multiplying and taking over other people) but went on for about five times longer than it should have, and ended in a way that left you thinking "Why the f#@$ didn't he do that ten minutes ago??" They needed to stay within the technology of the day, and they failed utterly. The CGI Neo is a joke - when they go back and forth between the virtual and real one, his clothing changes by several shades of "black" ... it's laughable it's so bad.
Also, Morpheus - the coolest character in the first one - was reduced to doing terrified reaction shots in a copilot seat in the last one. They introduced too many new characters and wanted us to care about them. Though seeing Zoe (from Firefly) was cool, however briefly 
In the end though, they did not take the easy way out - they still were a bit enigmatic, if a bit full of themselves, and was not at all the ending I expected, yet on repeated viewings it made sense. I dunno, like the Star Wars prequels they are a mixed bag that aren't as bad as people are remembering (because of what they had to live up to) but could have been much better.
Plus if you look at the special features there's an interview on set with Adam Savage of Mythbusters fame, before he was of Mythbusters fame 
Look at me still talking when there's science to do
When I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you

Really? I rather enjoyed that scene especially when it "Guides us, and DRIVES us!"  . I guess I just like the action part.

Yeah, I do agree. I like how he had such an pivotal role in the first one and then became the guy who will always be the "co-pilot". Are we there yet?

From what I remember and I could be mistaken that they wanted to tie the movie into their Massive Online RPG game so the fans can "write the ending". It didn't pan out and left both the movie and the game going "Woah". In other words both failed. I admit the ending still to this day leaves me scratching my head.

I didn't know that! Now this makes me want to go buy the blu-ray trilogy just so I can see that special feature.

It's been doing the rounds at work, so I suspect the server is overloaded as it is obviously popular.
