Two questions from the movie:

Why doesn't Neo just fly away from the Agents to begin with...or say, halfway through the fight, etc.?

Second, Agents are fast enough to dodge bullets, and yet slow enough to let non-Keanu Reeves people get a few punches in? Except for Neo, none of the humans are able to actually dodge bullets. The agents are fast enough to dodge bullets. Ergo, the agents should also be fast enough to pummel anyone BUT Neo, without having their opponent lay a finger on them. I don't git it.

I thought the same thing while watching the fight scene. But, I guess there a similar instances in most movies, where if the character were to use common sense or logic, the whole movie/sequence/event would not have been necessary.

I enjoyed the movie. Especially the highway chase scene. I wonder how they film such things (the answer is always..."computers").

Neo does not just fly away from the Agents, because he has the capacity to destroy them, which is the goal of each encounter. Only when the odds became insurmountable was it a better idea to just fly away.

On the second question, you have to remember that the people inside the matrix are all gifted, but just not to the level of Neo. Morpheus and Trinity have the ability to bend physics inside the matrix, but they cannot fly. They were also freed from the matrix by others who thought at one time that they each might be "the one", until finally finding Neo, who is the actual "one"
