Add to that that I've seen probably 3-5 movies a week outside of college since I was 16 (I'm now 26), and you get the idea.
Like I said, all of your arguments as to liking the action, which was well done, and the plot are fine. You are free to love this movie if you like. My point of contention is when people try and paint this film as a work of art along the lines of Lawrence of Arabia, Lord of the Rings or the first 2 Star Wars. Its not even close. Those movies were cinematic operas. In comparison to those films Matrix Revolutions is the equivalent to watching two monkey's fight while dressed like Sheakespearean actors. They try and look like they're smarter than they are, and its even somwhat entertaining to watch on a visceral level, but don't mistake it for creative inspiration.
