I think most people say it sucked because it wasn't as good as 1 or 2. As said, 1 was new and different, 2 was more of an action/kung-fu movie. 3 couldn't decided what it wanted, so it went heavy on the symbolism, or something.
While it wasn't what I expected it to be, it was not a bad movie.

If you know any WWII vets who where in the landing boats at Normandy, they can very likely sympathize with the kid.

Why don't we just reboot the internet to defeat a particularly nasty worm. Granted the technology is more advanced, but with AI, that may or may not be feasible. Part of the thing of the Matrix is
everything is connected.
I know now that some software can in fact destroy hardware. Some recent form of Linux will send a command to a brand of cdroms that will kill the firmware, and then you have a ugly paperweight.

Why does a certain woman not die instantly or nearly instantly after being speared at least 5 times by thick metal rods?
If Agent Smith can replicate himself, then what makes one Smith superior to all the others? It's not explained at all.

She knew the Matrix was a fake. You can see a replica of the Constitution, but the real thing will have much more of an impact.
I looked at the placement of the metal rods. (I'm a EMT student, and was curious as to the injury/realness in the movie) and while they did massive trauma, nothing was hit that would kill instantly. What probably killed her was shock(hypovolemic), and the length she was still talking didn't seem odd to me.
The Agent Smith thing has an easy explanation. They are subroutines. He got another one when he 'assimilated' the Oracle, and with Neo. So they are probably just a outspring of his growth.
The tactics and force planning by both sides appears to be full of holes. You would think that computer geeks would spent time playing D&D, and have a better grasp on strategy.
The knuckle sandwich in bullet time was hilarious.
All-in-all, I enjoyed the movie.
