I'd say the movie was perfect and brought up endless amounts of philosophy. What's to say that choosing the red pill actually woke the person up to "reality"? Perhaps the red pill was another layer within the Matrix to prevent people from experiencing reality.
Did you actually watch the last movie to the end?
The problem with every conceivable philosophy being considered equally valid is that it isn't useful. What's to say that humans destroy the earth? There's no inherent definition of what destruction is vs improvement.

The second movie was a long drawn out in-betweener that could have been cut down to an hour. It would have worked better that way. The Wachowskis oft suffer Peter Jackson Syndrome, and just stretch out and overstuff their movies because they can.
Well, maybe it should be Wachowski Syndrome, since the Matrix came before the Lord of the Rings movies, but Jackson does it worse.

The third movie was interesting, in a way, as I thought it more pointedly blurred the line between human and machine. The humans in the story only reacted along pretty predictable lines of action, to the point where the scene in the Architect's room with the various "Ones" shown on the monitor seemed to suggest a near lack of independent thought for "humans" like Neo. Like the Matrix was a learning algorithm for barely intelligent programs.
In contrast to the machines, who showed initiative, independence and a rebellious streak that was more unpredictable than the cyclical human one.
