Oh? And you’re the authority on that?

Well yes, I am the authority on my opinions, just like anyone else is on theirs.

I do agree though that its not necessarily the same league as the others.

That's what I mean, I don't think it belongs next to Matrix or 12 Monkeys. It's a run of the mill Tom Cruise action film. Very enjoyable, but it doesn't break any new ground, in my opinion.
