I made an assumption on my first viewing and didn't look that closely
when the close-up shot happened.

Yes, but I don't think that was the thing that made the second and third
films less interesting to me; I think the first story was a very well-
written story, but the second and third had too much exposition. That
and the fight scenes between Neo and Smith were too far over the top in
the last two films. For example, in the second film right after Neo
meets with the Oracle again, there's a point where here we all just say
"OK, we get it, stop dropping anvils on our heads". The same with the
final fight sequence in Revolutions.
