If you'll look closely, you'll see just how much the fighting style has changed from the first movie. Back then the camera was more static, and let you see the moves executed in a manner that you could follow. In the second movie, there was waaay too much motion with the camera during the integral fighting scenes.
An example would be the subway fighting scene from the first movie, very cool because it was easy to follow. In the second movie, the whole 100 Smiths on Neo scene was way too much. It turned into something very unrealistic, and realism was what kept the first movie on top of the action movie list.
The third movie got a little bit better, like you said, with the club fight, but even that was a bit exaggerated beyond proportions, albeit pretty cool The Smith fight at the end was crap, the people who went to see the movie with me were saying "wtf?" the entire time :P Would have been a lot cooler had they kept it on the ground and maybe involved hand weapons, rather than good superman vs. bad superman kinda fight. I think we've all seen enough of DBZ not to have to see it in a modern movie :P
