It's a cheap excuse to put a lot of unrealistic stunts in the movie...
I loved the fact that the stunts were unrealistic because there was context for them to be so. The Matrix is not the real world, so for someone who recognizes that and can use it to their advantage, why not dodge bullets and run up walls and fly? It makes sense in the framework of the movie.
Off-topic: I also enjoyed Crouching Tiger's use of "unrealistic" combat because there was context there as well: if you've studied these ancient martial arts deeply enough, you can do fantastic things. Note that not everyone in the movie could fly or move with superhuman speed. It's movies like Musketeer (ugh) that stunts like these annoy me.
