see, the reason i thought the ending was lame, was because overall, there was no real resolution. the first movie was sweet, 'cause it posed this crazy idea that people were enslaved to machines, like they were all in some prison, and needed to be freed... that was an awsome concept, and why i loved the first one so much. but by the end of the trilogy, the people inside the matrix were no longer of key importance... shit, neo even saves the matrix at the end to save the people in zion... and this whole truce thing can't last long, because while temporarily at peace, humans are still at the mercy of the machines, and eventually they're going to want to revolt...

anyway, the whole truce thing just seemed like a happy little cop-out, so that everyone wins. the machines are still there, the matrix is fine, and the people in zion are too :dunno:

something i didn't understand though, is why when one agent smith died, they all died? and the whole thing about neo being jacked into the computer, so then when he became smith, the machines had control of an agent smith... what about all of the other people from the matrix that he converted to an agent smith... weren't they all already jacked into the computer directly? why couldn't the machines have done the same thing then?

something i just realized though, was earlier in the movie when he was saying that he 'couldn't see beyond a decision he couldn't understand'... i guess that decision was that he had to lose the fight against smith
