I just watched DeZionized. Definitely better than the originals, though it was odd, as I don’t remember the parts cut… It has been awhile since I watched Reloaded and Revolutions. Unlike the others, I did not mind that Morpheous was absent from the end of the film. When Neo and Trinity go off to the Machine City, I thought it worked that that was Morpheous’s stage exit, though, had this been shot the way Dezionized was cut, Morpheous should have appeared at the end to save Neo and Trinity, a la Han Solo in Star Wars: Episode IV.

Even though this was better, I wanted more from this fanedit (though that might be hard to create with a fanedit). Like the originals, this film was too complicated and lacked heart. I don’t think it’s mean to say that this film ended up being one long fight, with breaks for philosophical argument. It also goes without saying that I really disliked Agent Smith as a rogue agent, and what’s more the ending is horrible: all the main characters die?

Pet peeves aside, I should note that none of these were the point of the film: To create a tighter film which focused mostly on the main characters from the original film (Neo, Trinity, Morpheus, Agent Smith) which lacked scenes in Zion. In that regard, I felt that the film succeeded (albeit, still, very long). As an aside, though: Without Zion, the character of Bane seems greatly arbitrary. This begs the question: While Zion was annoying, maybe some parts of it should have been kept; cf. In Star Wars, we still saw the rebel bases, even if we didn’t see much of them.
