It was first
It was the first...All others are copies or facsimiles
because the matrix has a more interesting plot and delves more deeply into it.
Cause it was/is Awesome. I personally think that "the Matrix" has a completely other spirit throughout the whole movie, but that is just what I think!
because simply inception is overrated
Matrix Is Gr8
It came out first, and they had enemies. The enemies in Inception were all projections.
Characters in the Inception have little to no fighting abilities except the use of guns. If they were to face against characters of the Matrix, even if the architect could somehow alter the reality, redpills will notice it and therefore be able to overcome those disabilities.
Characters in the Matrix demonstrate better fighting abilities. Thus, better action, better plot, etc.
For was the most original idea since starwars.
