They shoulda just went with one of those squares as the cover. This one makes it look like it's some kind of series of films on the dvd or something, kind of like showing 4 mini covers on the cover so to speak.

Maybe they are making 4 different covers and we can choose which one we want.

Well...Hmm.

I own the other three (counting AniMatrix as the third). I guess I will own this, if nothing else for the last fight scene.

God, I wish I would of never bought the first one!

I have mixed feelings about the cover. I like that they're using all four of the great posters - just one might look a little empty, a bad Photoshop job to put them all together would inevitably suck, and different art entirely would probably be just as disappointing. On the other hand, it seems weird for the cover to consist of four different pictures on boxes like this.

I think it'll grow on me.

I think that might have more to do with one of them wearing dresses and taking female hormone injections and not trusting the press to stick to film-related questions if given an opportunity.

They did a decent commentary for "Bound."

Well, doesn't lower my opinion of the Bro's. , I was just surprised . I had not heard about them. Either way, I could care less, a crap trilogy is a crap trilogy. Though I don't see why they can't do a commentary .

Just shift Neo and Trinity to the right and stick in Morpheus on the left.
Trinity reminds me of Gunkata

Well I would venture to say that every studio would benefit greatly in terms of quality, not to mention financially, by having a number of the people on these boards working for them.

The cover art doesn't bother me at all, we can always print our own. As for a box, I already have one by Paul Champagne.

Even if I don't like the cover art for a DVD I usually don't let it bother me too much but this one just begs for a custom cover from somebody here.

and I'm sure they are already hard at work on it.

I am pleased with the extras this time around. The second DVD on the last set was about as much of a waste and the second Bad Boys 2 DVD. I love extras but both those releases seemed to be fluff that probably could of been either forgotten or added on to the first disc.

I'm about 90% sure that their gonna change the cover art to either combine a few of the posters together or create seperate covers...

But the actual dvd itself is the most important thing and not the cover, right?

Do people actually refuse to buy DVDs because of the cover art? That would be pushing this DVD collecting habit to complete insanity.

I would never walk into a Best Buy to pick up a movie I want, but refuse to purchase it because of what's on the case....
