It's worse than that. The final Smith vs. Neo fight was about as interesting as watching asparagus grow -- not even close to, say, the finale between Goku and Frieza in "Dragonball Z", or even an average Godzilla vs. Mothra monster mash. No bullet-time, no interesting shots, no data-splash, and finally just no point at all. It ends up as just another high-tech war film with metallic heroes and wooden dialogue.
