As long as we're discussing technical errors (or problems), I have to say this is the only thing that really bothered me:
How was Neo able to bring Trinity back to life by reaching into her matrix code (her residual self image)?
In the first movie, Trinity brought Neo back to life by explaining to him that she loved him and that he was the one. I believe this because I beleive that, while he was dead, he still had bodily functions (i.e. his brain was still alive) so he could hear her and process the information and realize she was right and effectively bring himself back to life.
This same logic does not cover him bring her back to life in Reloaded. (Unless "the real world" is actually just another subnet or submatrix and they are all still plugged in (which is what I suspect)). He talks to her and removes the bullet and says "I love you" but in the real world, on her monitor, it said "lost carrier signal". This indicates to me that him saying "I love you" and so forth is all going into the bit bucket and she can't hear a word.
Anyhow... if we find they have all been in pods this whole time, I will say congratulations to the writers (this would explain why Neo can stop sentinels too). But if they really expect me to beleive that Neo can transmit data back to the real world without a carrier signal, I am hard pressed...
