I can agree with a few of the arguments, but most of the arguments I have seen about the movie are more from overblown expectations than any major flaws. There was a lot of action, which took away a little from the story, but there was lots of messiah-Neo Christian undertones to keep theorists talking about this movie for a long time. I think that Jess may have a point in that you may have dug out meanings that were more involved than they intended, and they couldn't squeeze them in (they did paint themselves into a corner in trying to top the last two, which was nigh-impossible, but they tried). However, like me, you seemed to have liked the movie, and were satisfied with the closure of it, so its all good! I saw it on Friday and loved it as well.

Matrix 3, building on a not smart movie, wasn't smart either. It would explain why 3 didn't answer any of the questions you felt 2 posed. Maybe they never meant to pose those questions. In my opinion they never did. :) Possible theory: Maybe Matrix 2 wasn’t smart, but you are, so you added in a bunch of stuff on your own (mentally, not like you added some scenes or something) to make it better, hence all the great deep stuff you derived from the experience.
