Before I moved from a city with lots of cheap arty cinemas to one with no cinema worth visiting, some months I'd average one movie a day. I thought The Matrix was the best Hollywood movie I've seen in a long time, though I love Hong Kong action movies so that goes a long way towards explaining why; the script pretty much sucked, but visually it was great. The main problem was that they started from a good premise (reality as computer simulation) but didn't take it anywhere near as far as they could; I was expecting some kind of Dickian 'what's real anyway?' story rather than just an action movie.
