#25, #26 & #27 The Matrix, Matrix Reloaded & Matrix Revolutions (06/02/11)

There is no denying that The Matrix was a game changer. Since its release the way action sequences in films have been approached has been changed forever. Whilst the first film is held in such high regard as a trilogy The Matrix is seen by many as the one that got away. The more I watch the films as a trilogy the more I realise that the first film is the one that is out of place. Almost as if they were forced to make it in order to tell the planned story which is in the second and third films.

I understand how a trilogy like Star Wars is held in such high regard but I'm really surprised that as a trilogy there aren't more hard core Matrix fans out there. It's still a battle of good and evil but instead of space it is within a computer and Agt Smith is just as worthy an advisary as Darth Vader. Some people will claim heracy after reading this but think about it. It's true. Watch these films again and try to look at them as a whole unit not three separate films.
