I did not see the trailer, I left too early and only found out about it afterwards.

The head-fake is that the first movie's premise is that the matrix is virtual reality, while the Nebudchadnezzer ship and Zion, etc. is the actual reality. Now, in the second, we see that escaping from the Matrix just means that you are not escaping at all. First movie: you have volition, and as Trinity says "the matrix can not tell you who you are". Second movie: Neo has been manipulated into becoming a tool and his will has only served to serve as another way of control, the Oracle is a computer program that manipulates him, etc.

I get your take and saw that as well. A couple of interesting points though

1) Neo chose to go back into the matrix instead of choosing what the other 5 saviors did

2) The spoon givin to Keanu before he left in the ship was not used.

3) I am not 100% convinced the oracle is evil...partly evil yes, but I am not sure that she is completely evil.

4) What about the oracle's guardian?

On second thought, I completely agree with your analysis except on one point.

I think that the architect conceeded that choice was an inherent natural property of humanity. Hence, in the end, Neo must choose whether to redo the matrix or go back to save Trinity. It is his choice, no matter how much his emotions may drive him.

(This is, of course, predicated on the fact that the architect isn't lying. The oracle was because she needed to trick Neo into making the choices she wanted...should make for an interesting third movie)
