No, you didn't miss anything. I think they just went straight for the "She's powerful too!" angle. Which makes no ****ing sense, and muddles the running storyline of the past films. There definitely seemed to be an obvious effort to bring more female leadership to the story. Which didn't really work. Niobe was a ****.
I really hate how the neutered Neo too. When they showed him training with new Morpheus and he destroyed the dojo, I thought that was pretty cool let's see him wreck some shit. But then he's fighting Smith a short time later, and can't even hold his own in the slightest. Like I said earlier, they seemed to change each characters powers depending on how they needed the plot to progress at that moment. Felt cheap and lazy.

Of course, that's ignoring the fact that if they're in a digital environment that the machines control, then the machines would have to program themselves to miss shots.

The use of sonic waves was overdone. Neo can wreck a dojo but he can’t take off to fly? Made no sense to me and seemed to me that Agent Smith was the most powerful person in this movie. Your telling me the Analyst could slow down time and Neo couldn’t function, while Agent Smith could? But again, I wouldn’t over analyze this movie. Clearly an F U you anyone that loved the first movie.
