All of this.

Tons of actors are great at emoting, not acting.  They don't act like normal fucking people and their performances override the character they're supposed to be portraying.

Keanu doesn't do that shit.  Doesn't mean he's a bad actor.  It means he's humble enough to not make the entire movie about him.  Which makes him relatable. 

He's arguably one of the greatest action movie actors ever.  Putting aside the insane amount of work he puts in to learn martial arts, use weapons, etc., his acting style allows the audience to put themselves in his shoes as the lead.  You make the Matrix with anyone else and it probably fucking sucks (I think Will Smith was in the running at one point and hoo boy that would have been a trainwreck).  Keanu plays stuck, bored, corporate slacker/malcontent to a T and then perfectly encapsulates what all of us would be like if we got sucked out into a dystopia where robots use humans as batteries.

Oh, and unlike all the other kiddie diddling creeps and assholes in Hollywood, he's a good dude.  Gave away a ton of his money to the people that worked on the Matrix, IIRC.  He's like #2 behind Tom Hanks as all-time nice guys in show business. 

I heard pretty much everyone liked Patrick swayze.

Great movie. I never saw it in the theater. I bought the DVD without really knowing anything about it other than seeing the previews on tv. I was blown away. The only really dumb part was having Neo die and Trinity's love bringing him back to life. That was over the top cheese. They could've accomplished the same thing with him figuring out that he was The One just short of death 

Worst sequels ever. There's no way the Wachowski brothers/sisters wrote Matrix. Had to be a ghost writer, or a ripoff. The sequels were so bad they couldn't have been written by the same people. 

They stole it.

I served her lunch in the Palisades. I made her and her husband laugh.

What’s great about that gun training vid is that he doesn’t miss one shot. You want to be his neighbor when the zombie apocalypse goes down.

I would watch reloaded repeatedly just for another glimpse of this goddess. Perfect woman imo

Matrix 2 is ok until the end (with exception of the aforementioned rave/orgy scene in Zion), when it (like Matrix 3 in its entirety) insists upon itself with a nonsensical or illogical plot that hardcore matrix nerds will defend to the death.
