Agreed! My biggest issue with the other Matrix movies though, were simply that they were nothing like where I imagined the story would go. The end of The Matrix felt so epic, like anything could happen. Neo was now a superhero, practically a god. The possibilities were endless. For Reloaded to kind of just... continue on with the same kind of shit just didn't do it for me. Adding some less than convincing CGI on top of that just locked in my negative view of it (and Revolutions.)
