I guess this movie could be summed up as the following:
Ignoring the obvious plot holes, ignoring the obvious continuity errors, ignoring the bad acting (during one emotional scene where Keanu was being emotional, one guy started laughing in the theatre... no one told him to shut up but instead EVERYONE in the theatre started laughing), ignoring the obviously animated characters and ignoring the lack of a real story... the movie was a pretty fun action movie.
Yes I have to agree watching the SAME fight scene for the 19th time just isn't exciting anymore, but there were other good parts!
It was much shorter than the last movie, and I have to say that final attack on Zion is worth the price of admission alone. Sure the robots fought stupidly (then again if there are millions of them and they don't really care much I guess a strategy really isn't needed), but damn it was entertaining.
Watching that scene makes me realize that a live-action 'giant robot' (term from animes featuring these giant robots) movie would be possible. Too bad they'll probably never make one... but still! I did read a while back though that they're exploring the possiblity of a live-action Transformers movie... so I'm keeping my fingers crossed (the press release was on the Hasbro website so it was pretty official, not just a rumour).
Either way, the Matrix trilogy is what happens when you split one and a quarter movie's worth of plot and action into three movies (with the quarter movie being the final attack on zion combined with the car chase scene from Reloaded). They cashed in, and they cashed in big. Even though, I think my $8.75 student price was well spent. As an overall movie, I'd give it 2/5, as an action movie 5/5 for sure.
