Yeah. The last movie brought me back down to Earth. I realized this wasn't going to be the next Star Wars(in terms of quality). The sequels weren't going to be up to par with the first. So, I came into this movie hoping for a special effect blast, and a conclusion. I felt I got both, so I was satisfied. I didn't love it, I didn't hate it, I just enjoyed it.

I also wanna say that the fight between Neo and Smith in the end is worth the price of admission alone.I wish we could see stuff like that in super-hero movies.
Yeah, I liked that, as well. It was very dramatized(with the classical music, the lightning flashes, etc), but this wasn't suppose to be "realistic". This was literally the battle to decide the fate of humanity. The end all be all. The cataclysmic debacle of ultimate good vs. ultimate evil. Very archetypical, and since this was an artificial world to beginwith, the lightning and rain was a fitting backdrop.

There was really no other way it could have ended. It had to be "epic". Even if that kind of thing is cliche and overdone today.

They explained that in the second movie, actually. When Neo "jumped into him"(best way I can describe it) at the end of the first movie, he was imparted with his "essence". A part of him was copied onto Smith.

The more programs Smith absorbed, the more powerful he became. He acquired Oracle, the most powerful of the programs, and that put him "over the top" so to speak.
