You definitely need to explain Spiderman and LFDH.

-No special features on spider-man 1 and 2.
-No unrated version on LFODH.

This means that you have to own multiple copies of each movie to get the full plate of special features. i thought that all that space on the blu ray would have been plenty. With these releases I felt like I was getting screwed.

Though I haven't popped it in yet, probably The Simpsons Movie just because of its lack of extras.

Zodiac is probably the most disappointing DVD of 2007, if only because it's probably going to be an early candidate for one of the best DVDs of 2008 once the Director's Cut comes out next month.

Other than that, maybe Grindhouse simply because it would've been really nice if they put both movies in one package and included the fake trailers (which some people actually thought was the best part of seeing Grindhouse).

Bug sucked! Although the actors did their best, this one could not be saved. Plus, the box says "Special Edition", but it's the only edition that was released! I hate when they do that. The only good thing was Ashley Judd necked!

Poltergeist: easy choice. Piss poor extras for a 25th Anniversary Edition.
The Simpsons: great flick but you'd have to be an ass to not know it's getting double and triple dipped. (Yes, I still bought it.)
Casino Royale: pretty weak 2-disc set for an amazing film (I know there's a new one coming, that makes this worse. It should have been definitive off the bat.)
Twilight Zone: I know why, but couldn't we have gotten something extra?

Twilight Zone and Poltergeist, but only because they could have been so much more.

I have to go with Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix given it's lack of extras and sketchy transfer.

I will also mention The Simpsons Movie, Rocky Balboa, and Casino Royale since it's clear they were just cash grabs and better versions will be coming soon. The only one I picked up is The Simpsons since it got me $10 off Season 10 at Costco.

Worst is a little subjective. For me, lack of extras is a big disappointment, but for others it might not be as important (i.e. I agree 100% with The Monkees on Spider-Man Trilogy BD and Die Hard BD)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Dr. Katz Complete Collection that is released is the only way to get seasons 3+ AND it doesn't contain any additional special features that weren't in the first 2 season releases. Of course, I'm happy to get the complete series, but why not let me buy the other seasons separately, and keep going with the special features. Mind boggling.

What was wrong with the DVD release of Perfume?

Erik The Viking, by far. They clipped over 20 minutes out of it and totally ruined the feel of the movie. Completely unviewable.

i agree, but i began 07 starting to not give a shit about 2-discs, and unrated, or extended blah blah blah.

the only movies i will double dip on in the future are my all time favourites.

The only release that I refuse to buy is the Live Free or Die Hard blu-ray. I want both unrated and rated versions on it.

Twilight Zone and Poltergeist hands down for 2 very lazy DVD releases.

Honorable mentions:
Spiderman 3 only because there wasn't an extensive "making of" documentary like on Part 2. Instead we got a bunch of short mini-featurettes.

Pirates 3 because of no audio commentary and no extensive making of documentary like it's predecessors.

Casino Royale because of no Martin Campbell or Daniel Craig commentary. There should have been an extensive making of documentary as well.

For me it was Futurama: Bender's Big Score. I love the series but thought the story was really weak, especially after such a long lay off. I was hoping to laugh to justify the $17.99 I paid for it. The packaging was the worst I'd ever seen... it had a slit in the cardboard to hold the dvd. Like it won't get scratched taking it in & out. What the heck were they thinking? Fortunately I offed it for $15.99 on Marketplace the next day. Good riddance!

I actually felt the story was the strongest aspect, there was just too much filler in it.
