2-disc, please have both theatrical and extended if you go that route and please don't be $39.99... I liked the movie a lot more than I thought I would after just reading the book. This one could have some interesting features if Sony gives it the proper treatment.

From the way it was bashed, I'm surprised anyone else is buying either one. I really enjoyed it, did not read the book, and thought it was pretty good. I'll definitely be picking up the 2 disc version.

I didn't watch it because of the reviews, and I did enjoy the book, so I didn't want to "ruin" that. I will probably Netflix this one and see if it is something I would want to watch again.

I could see it now. This time next year we'll all read the announcement for a 4-Disc Ultimate Deluxe Special Edition with life-size Mona Lisa replica..

I didn't care for it either (and I'm not religous). The story was alright but it was entirely too long and poorly paced. I'll Netflix the 2-discs to check out some of the special features, but there's no way I'll shell out $20+ for it...

I'll probably pick up the 2 discer here. They have the potential for a great DVD release on this one. I hope they include some of the documentaries from the History Channel and things of that sort.
