Cue a whole bunch of people leaping on to say how much they hate The Matrix; in fact since some have you have said it several times in this thread already, perhaps you don't need to.
The Matrix was my #7. At one time it was my #1 movie. It has slipped a little but not that far. I was braced for a big fall in this countdown, so I am delighted to see it in the top 25. I've watched it fairly recently after not having seen it for a couple of years and was prepared to not enjoy it as much as I did in 1999, but a couple of reservations aside, it is a stone cold classic. I watched it again more recently with my teenage son. Matrix haters will be glad to hear that he didn't like it - but then again he doesn't like many movies because they are all, quote, 'fake'. What struck me, though, was how even though I have seen it a dozen or so times (and I don't tend to rewatch movies that much), there were still new things that I appreciated that I hadn't noticed before. I like it as a sci-fi action film, I think it's clever and can be interpreted in a number of different ways. I think the effects are good and still hold up better than a lot of cgi overloaded movies from the early 2000s. I like the soundtrack. I like the way it looks, with the deliberately placed shots and reflections.
Basically, the Matrix is awesome and you are wrong.
