Paul, here you're just wrong.
First of all, the one thing you cannot possibly attack in this movie is the filming. It's filmed very well.
Second of all, you really can't attack the special effects either, as they are top-notch.
Third of all, the story is far better than most movies, and I'd venture to say that it was pretty damn good. I'd agree that it got cheesy sometimes, but overall, the storyline was good and the concepts are pretty great.
If there's any flaw with the trilogy, it's that they got too bogged down with creating and exploiting far too many characters. Between the Frenchman, the Oracle, the Maravincian, Sarif, the twins, and the Keymaster, I had no idea who was a program and just which story I should be following. To a certain extent this confusion is fun, but when seemingly important characters are left almost totally unexplained, it gets sorta weird.
Anyway, I really liked the trilogy and the third movie.
