I agree with you completely about Matrix. IMHO, Matrix is the first cyber-movie that's firing on all cylinders. Where "Star Woes - Abysmal I" relied on rather ho-hum special effects to carry a weak story with cardboard and stereotypical characters, Matrix had spectacular visuals with interesting, complex characters in a chilling, well told story worthy of repeat visits. Keanu finally hit his stride with this one; let's hope he can keep it up!
As for Brendon Fraser, my wife and I thought he pulled off the swashbuckler role amazingly well. We were both pleasantly surprised [Mummified? :-)] and now consider him every bit the action hero that Harrison what's-his-name was in those Indiana something-or-other flicks! We've actually seen The Mummy on four occasions (note: as opposed to ST-EI, which only saw our cash on one occasion) and have yet to tire of it! Those who assume that it's simply a hip remake of the old Universal horror film from the 30's are in for a pleasant shock.
BTW, if you want to see just how wide a range of acting chops Brendon Fraser has, check out Gods and Monsters; my jaw went slack --- this dude can ACT!
