I watched the entire trilogy tonight on Blu-ray in one large sitting for the first time, and I have to say that the Matrix sequels aren't as bad as I've seen people make them out to be. I was generally content with the ending.
What was it? Did people simply hype them up to much or?

They weren't bad. I think alot of the hate came from the fact that the first Matrix movie was equal parts action thriller/intellectual stimulator. There were alot of parts of it that made you think. The sequels however, were just protracted CGI scenes expanding on the idea of humanity vs. machines. Which was okay, but they lost the thought-provoking aspects of the first movie. However, the ending to the trilogy was just so ambiguous it was terrible. Cute Indian girl painting a rainbow in the sky for Neo? Get out of here.
