Not as deep as we thought?

When I saw The Matrix, I was blown away by the metaphysical presence and all of the spiritual undertones. The entire "there is no spoon" scene was absolute Truth. Or so I thought. After seeing The Matrix Reloaded - I'm beginning to question The Matrix. I think I read too much into it - I don't think it's metaphysical after all. I think it's all about the actual physical existence of machines, and the world they created - The Matrix. How disappointing this is to me. I thought that finally someone had touched upon, and really gotten close to, one of the most important and fascinating topics - spiritual existence and it's substance. However - since I've come to this conclusion - I am actually not allowing myself to stay disappointed. I am taking these movies at face value - and I think they are highly creative, wonderful movies. I just don't think they are going where I thought, and was hoping, they were.
I guess the world's not ready for metaphysical movie plots yet.
