At least one sequel too many

Have to disagree totally. I was desperate to enjoy this film, convinced the negative reviews were just backlash.
Having loved the original, and thinking that the second was quite watchable and enjoyable (mainly for the fights), I was hugely disappointed by this final film. I agree that the gun battle sequence was good, if a little long, but the rest was incredibly poor.
It starts very slowly, goes nowhere very quickly, and the final Neo/Agent Smith fight is just laughably stupid (worse, perhaps, than the final fight in The Hulk for its pointlessness).
It's depressing to sit in a cinema and dream of watching the original film of a trilogy for the umpteenth time rather than sit through one of its sequels even once. It's worse than Star Wars Episode One, although, thankfully, not as childish.
