Overall I liked the movie have to see it again to get a full grasp on things.
But they ripped off the Dune books with the whole neo going blind and still bieng able to see bit.

wow. no wonder you're confused, you don't even remember the name of the second movie...
coughcoughRELOADEDcoughcough
so yeah...what confused you?
I knew as I was writing that something didn't look right, but it was late and I didn't feel like looking it up.
As for what confused me, not here. I don't want to ruin it for anyone.
Not like they'd need me for that anyway. The Wachowskis did a good enough job destroying it.

Actually, I don't know if it was intended to be a trilogy but it was definitely intended to go beyond the first film - the movie studio didn't want to make a definite cliffhanger or promise a sequel if the movie bombed since they invested a shitload of cash into the SFX alone.
As for Revolutions, I thought it was excellent. Sure, there are some unanswered questions, but very few. Overall I think it summed up the series well - and it did it in a way I pretty much figured it would. I was a little confused myself, not by what I saw but how certain things fit but after reading others thoughts and seeing how I thought and felt similar - and also be going back over the prior 2 films, it all made perfect sense. This is one of those rare movies that makes you get a sense of everything, and not whats presented to you in the middle of the screen.
Watching the Animatrix and the ingame movie footage was very helpful also.
Overall, i think conceptually this is one of the better sci-fi stories to come out in a long time - it was just a little flashy with SFX, but it still worked for me.

I enjoyed the movie as well. You really have to think back to the other two while you are watching it to grasp the whole concept. I think that is a little hard for some people since the original was released 4 years ago. There was this site I saw that explained things very well, but I can't think of where I saw it at the moment.
All and all I liked the entire trilogy.
