The difference between Kill Bill and The Matrix is that the 3rd Matrix installment was already planned when they started working on #2 (in fact, I believe a bit of it was shot at that time, too)
With Kill Bill, though, it was shot as one continuous movie, and now is being editied into two (suppossedly from studio pressure)
And no offense, but every piece of press on Matrix #2 said that there was going to be a finale w/ Matrix 3 (not gonna bother with the subtitle). They certainly didn't hide that fact, and in some ways promoted the episodic nature of the movies. In fact, the third Matrix installment is one reason that "Jersey Girl" was pushed back to next year, or so has been written on this website. I'm not really sure how you went into that movie without knowing that there was a final installment that concluded everything...
