Re: Zion being the Matrix
God like powers over the real world is utterly silly, IMHO, but power over the robots is somewhat more realistic. They're controlled by the same rules that govern the Matrix.
If an "Agent" can cross over into the "Real World" by hacking someone's mind, would it be possible to create a sentinal in the Real World that could hack into Neo's Mind? Much of the 3rd movie is spent looking for Neo. How did they capture him? If they captured him in the real world, why do they look for him in The Matrix?
Perhaps The Matrix itself is a contrivance by an even more powerful force... Philip Price! It thinks it's fighting for it's life, but in reality, even the hardware that runs it is part of a larger matrix. In fact, it's an infinite loop, and nobody knows who the original programmer is. Thankfully, we all know that he did it in a shack in Hawaii while getting power from a Jeep.
Another gripe: The philosophy of The Matrix was more under the surface, and was used to push the plot along tastefully. In Reloaded you're force fed the philosphy and told that it moves the plot along.
Re: Mankind choosing to stay in the Matrix
I'm still assimilating the information I've learned about the architecture of the Matrix - the first Matrix and how it was "A perfect world where none suffered" according to Agent Smith and sublimely beautiful according to the Architect. The imperfection then is choice, which leads to the creation of a One, who's given the power to destroy the Matrix, and at the same time given a compelling reason to not destroy the Matrix.
