Not sure what they were thinking

Spoilers ahead, this is only intended for people who have watched the movie!!!
Revolutions left me incredibly unsatisfied. Reloaded was decent, but it left a lot of questions up in the air. I figured that since they already made Revolutions that these questions would be answered. Boy was I wrong. The movie makes no effort at all to explain events, it just kind of throws them at you. While I agree that the Matrix has a huge fanbase that derives from the fact that it doesn't go out of its way to explain all the intricacies behind what's going on, you have to feel a little annoyed that absolutely nothing at all was addressed. There's no explanation on what happened to the Oracle or what her "decision" was, there's no explanation of Neo's new found powers in the real world, there's no explanation of how Agent Smith finds a way into the real world, there's no explanation of how Agent Smith loses that battle at the end.
Furthermore, the movie is filled with cheesy dialogue (a couple I recall off the top of my head were along the lines of: "she'll do it, she's in love" and "that's impossible, nobody can pilot mechanical!") along with some pretty shotty acting (Trinity death scene anyone? Just die already, or at the very least acknowledge you're in some pain).
I dunno, the Matrix trilogy had a lot of potential to be one of the defining movies of our time. But I guess it's simply not meant to be. In my book it'll be another in the long line of movie series that have a great first movie and mediocre sequels mooching off the success of the sequels.
