Hmmmmm. After seeing more posts, I want to defend the movie a little more. First off, I want to clarify: the trilogy was written all at once and originally the brothers intended on filming all three at once instead of one then two and three together. That didn't fly though because it was a pretty outrageous story, so they did what they could with the first one and then got money for the other two. (Watch The Matrix Revisited)

While it seems like the ending leaves an open end that you might stick another movie into - I felt content and the story was over for me. If you think about it, the matrix was very very different in the ending. The green undertone was lost and the first beautiful natural scene was shown. There are many unanswered questions, but I imagine that an ending which answers them would have been pretty dry/boring/disappointing (moreso).

I could have used some more new effects and there were of course some plot holes and some bad acting (such as "Neo, I believe" - horrible). But I think they did a great job directing. They intended for the movie to feel like a comic and I think it did.
