Bourne Trilogy or Ultimate Matrix Collection - Blu-ray Forum

Bigwayne · 01-19-2009, 01:26 PM

If you could only get one, which one would it be. I have seen the first two Matrix movies, and none of the Bourne movies. Which one is better??

micks_address · 01-19-2009, 01:39 PM

two completely different genre's so impossible to compare i reckon..

most will probably say the second two matrix films were a major dissapointment in comparision to the first

whereas with the bourne series - the films are all pretty solid..

if i was to pick one film from all six it would be the matrix...

but if i was buying a set now - i might pick the bourne set (having seen the matrix films a lot)

so maybe go for the bourne trilogy - then pick up the matrix on its own in march...

I would take the Bourne Trilogy over the Matrix, but that is just my opinion.

swingle007 · 01-19-2009, 01:40 PM

i'd go with matrix.....bournes all sorta seemed similar to me...watching one seems like watching all 3.

tacoreed · 01-19-2009, 01:41 PM

I only liked the first Matrix movie (it was damn amazing on first viewing), however I like all three Bourne movies, so I guess Bourne fo me.

Kyot · 01-19-2009, 01:42 PM

Bourne for sure.

Petra_Kalbrain · 01-19-2009, 01:44 PM

Neo kicks Jason Bourne's ass every time for myself... many will disagree with me on that though.

(Fe)Man · 01-19-2009, 01:50 PM

Bourne collection, no hesitation. I didn't like any of the other Matrix films other than the first one.

cflames89 · 01-19-2009, 01:56 PM

I have never been a big fan of The Matrix, and I would personally put all three Bourne's ahead of them at any time.

goodstuff · 01-19-2009, 01:57 PM

Bourne. Yeah, the first Matrix is classic, but the sequels pale big time while the Bourne's are almost all on the same level of competency.

NJ_RAMS_FAN · 01-19-2009, 01:58 PM

both!!!.. hehe.. but I like bourne a bit better than the collection

Blu-Runner · 01-19-2009, 01:58 PM

Since we're talking blu-ray high definition and not DVD standard definition, you have to go with The Ultimate Matrix Collection. Although the Bourne movies arguable have better acting, it's movies like the Matrix that do blu-ray justice with their heavy special effects and broad vision.

Thank God I live in a nation where I don't have to make such a ridiculous choice.

I can buy both if I want. Think about it OP, you're comparing apples to oranges. Two completely different genres entirely.

If you were to put a gun to my head and force me to make choice, I would have to choose the Matrix (although in my mind I would be thinking, "But the Bourne series is good too.").

Then my head would just explode. Thanks OP for ruining my day.

andyman1970 · 01-19-2009, 02:12 PM

I'd go with the Bourne movies as they have a much better story line with MUCH better acting. (Matt Damon or Keanu Reeves?) The first Matrix movie is really good and works well enough as a stand alone film. The last 2 were just pointless IMO.

Davef711 · 01-19-2009, 02:18 PM

Siri · 01-19-2009, 02:19 PM

The Bourne Trilogy without a doubt.

Sean Salary · 01-19-2009, 02:26 PM

no questions about it. all 3 movies are great. Matrix series has 1 good movie, with 2 others, where im sure the picture will be amazing on blu, but plot really wasn't that great.

micks_address · 01-19-2009, 02:29 PM

i dont think there's much to choose between Reeves and Damon.... maybe i'll get shot down in flames for that... Damon is pretty wooden in the bourne series if you ask me...
