...full of spoilers is right.

I agree about the CGI, some parts were up there with Spiderman's 'bouncy' kind of look. But did it make the film disappointing? Not really. It simply requires a shred of suspended belief on the part of the viewer... its known as 'getting into it'. As for the rest:

Zion was not destroyed. Only the ships & soldiers who went to attack the sentinels were.

The worst part of this movie (and virtually every action movie released since the Matrix) was the complete ignorance of physics.

OK, the "Simpsons" have a name for this kind of thinking, and its called the Comic Book Guy. Movies like "Empire Strikes Back" start to look pretty stupid if you consider sound doesn't travel in a vaccuum - would you have every laser dogfight occur in complete silence? How retarded would the end of "The Last Dragon" be if Leroy was simply shot in his face and killed in the last scene? Why do all the grunts in "Aliens" speak in modern-day slang if its supposed to be hundreds of years in the future? On and on...

edit: Google and I found another site you might like to post in:

nitpickers.com

:D (all in good fun Langolier, honestly. Ya don't know what you're missing - Matrix is awesome!)
