Plot was never the strong point in the first and it doesn't exist in the second

Suspending Disbelief.
That's what we are supposed to do. OK, I had a really hard time swallowing the fact that people were being used as batteries....as though we produced energy.... Only problem with that, is we consume energy. Couldn't they have said they were forcing portions of our brain to do their computing and freeing us from the Matrix would allow us to be free...nope.
The Agent also pointed out that making life suck was not the goal of the Matrix. They lost entires fields of humans when they tried to make the world of the Matrix a nice place to live. Why again are we trying to defeat the Matrix??? The Matrix is like a huge daycare offering free food and living space. And really, would you rather live in Zion and eat....well nothing I guess. Zion was so crowded there is no daylight to grow vegitation, no animals...
I guess what I am getting at is simply.. There is no reason for this movie to exist other than to have a hell of a lot of cool fight scenes. If you want a good action movie with an interesting story play Max Payne. Better character development too.
