Deserves the high marks

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2001)

This is one of the greatest movies of all time, and not due to the fact that it's got a really wide range of appeal, because it doesn't. People who live for the next little dud that only shows in two cities in the U.S. and will never be seen by more than a hundred pompous people should stay away.
The Matrix is great due to the fact that among action films, it is so much better than anything else in the genre. Perfect!
