If you follow up a great sci-fi movie with two increasingly inferior sequels, how do you keep selling all three titles? You bundle all of them together so no one can skip out on the sequels, of course! OK, I know I'm being cynical. I love <I>The Matrix</I> and am as excited as the next to snatch this title up on HD DVD when it hits stores on May 22nd. And I'll even go so far as to say that I thought its sequel, <I>Matrix Reloaded</I> had some cool fight sequences and stunts. But I wouldn't watch the incomprhensible <I>Matrix Revolutions</I> again on a bet. Even George Lucas thinks it's whack that I have to buy all three movies to own the first.
