Its a mind job.

First off, I would say to those who thought it was bad : it isn't. That's what the Wachowskis want u to think. There is a twist but only the most avid fan would understand if they out a bit of thought (philosophical + I.T. ) into it.
The philosophical side of the story is deeper than the first, in the sense that it's less obvious to the masses. Clearly, there are some indulgences as with all newly successful directors. (do we really need the ID4 speeches and Phantom Menace mob sequences ??)
Fight sequences are very innovative but the CGI at times suffer the 'Spider-man' fate. It is inevitable, I guess - true to the analogy of the film itself.
The final installment will make the general masses realise that 'Reloaded' was not what it seems and thus, require re-loading into your DVD player.
