I liked The Matrix.

For what it was it was a good film. It was only later, when the "bullet time" effects started showing up in every other movie and the laughable pseudo-philosophical sequels came out that The Matrix lost its appeal.

OK, Reaves is a bad actor. And the music was terrible. But unlike the characters in Inception, I really was drawn in and cared what happened in The Matrix. I liked all the Chicago references. The action scenes were choreographed well and were easy to follow - hence exciting - unlike Nolan's style of using quick cuts and close ups.

If the sequels were never made, The Matrix would be a far more respected film. As it is, it's still more entertaining yet just as meaningless as Inception.
