@nerdork: Actually, Neo watches the bullets come close to him before he stops them, this has been shown MULTIPLE times. And this is 100% consistent with his other feats actually. Neo has been shown to react while traveling at speeds of Mach 10+ (racing across the planet to wind up in New York or wherever). While that was FLIGHT speed, it does prove that his level of perceptions are high enough to easily see bullets while they travel.
The whole "disappearing" trick looks impressive, but at the end of the day he's traveling like 4-5 meters in about 0.15 or so seconds, which is MAYBE 60 m/s at best.
IMPLIED SKILL
I 100% disagree here. He demonstrated finesse with multiple weapons and multiple styles in his fight against the body guards in the second movie:
And he was easily schooling the upgraded agents of the program. Who are, by definition, greater than the ones from the first Matrix movie.
Lets not forget he was taking on DOZENS of Smiths. Considering Smith is a character who can smash through concrete, and is AS FAST if not FASTER than Albert Wesker, this alone puts him at or above Wesker's level. There's a point in this where he kicks a guy 3 stories up and a good 15-20 meters across, and it looked like it was nowhere near a full strength hit.
Wait a Second. None of that matters. Agents are pushovers.
Bullsh!t. Agents are top of the line in terms of skill, strength, speed, and reflexes. Any one of which could give Albert Wesker a run for his money.
Reflexes
Neo has downloaded pretty much every marksman program available. This agent dodges so fast it looks like he's in five places at once, and he's EASILY reacting to every bullet.
Strength/Durability/Skill
Agent Smith easily sends Morpheus flying through walls, and Morpheus can't even HURT Smith. Smith then easily stomps through Morpheus in this fight.
Skill/Strength/Durability/Durability
Again, Morpheus is no pushover, and these things can stand as his equal. Even with a massive weapons advantage (Katana vs. H2H), this ONE Agent gives Morpheus a run for his money. Remember, Neo takes on three of these guys simultaneously in one of the previous videos, and more than a few other versions of agents in that other fight.
Overall
Neo was reacting to attacks OMNI-DIRECTIONALLY, and with ease. His skill, by feats alone, dwarfs Wesker by no small margin. I would go so far as to say ALL of Neo's showings are nothing but proof of his skill level.
The opponents he faces can match or surpass any that Wesker fights, and since his return to life he's only been hurt ONCE as far as I can tell (even after getting punched through statues and walls), and that was a minor scratch on his index finger. Hit him through walls, through steel, hard enough to send him flying 100 meters, and he gets back up UNHARMED. Plain and simple, he's too strong, too durable, too skilled, and is almost as fast as Wesker.
Wesker doesn't have the stats, or the skill, to take this.
And just for fun, here's another fun showing of his skill level:
