** The film completely ignores how ''Reloaded'' ended with the strong implication that the supposed real world was just another computer program to keep anyone who happened to wake up from the Matrix under control. This also leaves Neo's abilities to use his powers in the real world as a major plot hole.

* FanDislikedExplanation: The Oracle explains to Neo that his new powers, like his disabling the Sentinels outside the Matrix, come from connection to the Source. A lot of fans ignore this explanation because not only does it ruin the popular "The real world is another level of the Matrix" idea, but it makes the Source a little too powerful to be believable (like giving Neo psychic premonitions).

** [[spoiler:Trinity]]'s death scene. Note that the main complaint about the scene (its length) is a case of [[RealityIsUnrealistic reality being unrealistic]], since if anything she would have taken a lot ''longer'' to die in the real world, as the rods piercing her body would have plugged her wounds and slowed down her bleeding out. Even with that however, chances are she'd have been in far too much pain to give a long, dull speech.
** NarmCharm: Smith stating that "Cookies need love like everything does". Out of context, having him deliver this line sounds silly and kind of hilarious. ''In'' context, though, it's an IronicEcho to indicate that he just crossed the MoralEventHorizon by [[spoiler:assimilating [[WouldHurtAChild a child]]]], thus making it genuinely creepy.

** The film doesn't follow up on any of the foreshadowing ''Reloaded'' had about the Merovingian; He only serves as a minor antagonist who is quickly dealt with, and Persephone is effectively DemotedToExtra.

* {{Padding}}: The battle of Zion, while cool looking, does not matter at all since Neo is the only one who can stop the fighting and he's somewhere else. One could argue the battle is necessary to show just how hopeless a fight it is for the humans and reinforce Neo's importance, and show that everyone isn't just sitting on their thumbs waiting for Neo, but that could have been done with a couple of shots, not over a half an hour of pointless subplots.

** Not enough time is given to Smith!Bane, even though it's his first time in the real world and he's become the thing he despises. It would have been interesting to see Smith!Bane's reactions to a real body; you can see a little bit when he's staring fascinated at his own cut hand.

--> '''Creator/NoahAntwiler''': What's really terrible is that it doesn't seem like humanity really comes out on top at all. The machines are still an overwhelming, dominant force. Humanity is still wedged in Zion. They have more freedom than before, but they are still effectively under the total dominion of the machines. Neo really just seems to have saved humanity from one slime pit, only to cast them into another slightly less smelly one.
