Interesting Relevant article on Matrix:Revolutions, but it doesn't really touch on the fact that in spite of these flaws, it was still an entertaining movie. Interesting discorse at the end of the article, worth reading. My favorite comment is:
Why do so many people hate the matrix? My top 3 suggestions:
1. They didn't understand it (eg. the writer of this review), and feel the need to vent their frustration.
2. They read a negative review, and then went and saw the movie. Inevitably they noticed all the negative things pointed out by the review, and failed to appreciate the work as a whole.
3. They expected installments 2 and 3 to be exactly the same as the first movie, only different.

"I had mixed reactions to Revolutions in general. I was disappointed to see the “theory” of the Matrix completely drop off in Revolutions. For example, The Architect comes in at the end to become this grandfatherly twin of the Oracle who is necessary to preserve the balance between good and evil. Duh! Come on, where’s The Architect in his masochistic evil glory? The exclusion of The Architect was sourly disappointing, because along with him the theory of the Matrix was nowhere in sight.
