'bout damn time. I've put off buying any of them because I knew the marketing folks at WB had to be planning this.

Matrix: Reloaded/Revolutions wasn't great, but I think this will be on my XMas list! :D

thats why i held off on buying the 'kill bill' movies. the super-duper-uber set is whats being served up next, and i can wait till then.

Same here with Kill Bill. But I made the mistake of buying the first Matrix and the first LOTR Collector's Set.

:confused:
The Skoorb effect happens when a user doesn't read a thread and posts something that was already posted earlier in the thread. I hate it when people do that, yet I just barely did it. In my case, I posted a link to pics, yet Norish posted the same link about 15 posts up. ;)

Got some nice stuff there (I personally want to see the extended version of Reloaded [if that's what it is], as the game was too crappy to buy. I think they realized that also, hence including it) and it sounds like they're fully loading everying! Discs 9, 10 could be compressed onto one single disc quite likely, so that's just wasting space. Too bad Reloaded is the only one with a new cut. Cool looking box at least.

I was under the impression this implied the EtM footage would be inserted into the movie.
The following comes from Noirish's DVD Set link:

All the footage shot for the Enter the Matrix videogame is present on the DVD for Matrix Reloaded. However, it is not cut into the film - it's a separate special feature you can view scene-by-scene.

How would you define "decent"? People here are saying they've got box sets for ~$50 USD. What are you looking for that's so expensive?

I wonder if any of those disks will include the complete footage and reasoning behind the guy's sex change.

I rarely even watch the special features on DVDs and I already have the first two movies in my collection so there is little prospect of me buying this.

Another attempt to fleece the fubr'ed franchise?

Atleast the Animatrix kinda made up for the sucking of the 3rd movie...

I have only seen the first Matrix movie. Why does everyone hate on the other two so much? Does no one at all like it a bit?

It's like taking a bite out of a juicy perfect apple when you watch the first movie. Taking subsequent bites is where you eat the worm infested part. :p

o shut up the other 2 movies were fine, not as good as teh first but that expected but the 3 as a whole get an A in my book

the reason many people dont like them is because they are too stupid to understand it all

f**kers, I own all of this already (M1, M2, M3, M1:revisited, Animatrix) and now they come out with not only a box set, but a LIMITED EDITION BOX set.
Now I HAVE TO get it <sigh>

I wish M2 and M3 lived up to their hype :frown:
