Maybe they meant like a bare bones edition vs. a 2 disc like Charlie & The Chocolate Factory?

The fourth person to say the same thing wins, right?

I thought it was really good as well. I hadn't read the comices before the the movie was very well done. I'll be picking this up on DVD for sure. I need to watch it again to understand it more.

Everyone was asleep :P I'm sure this will be a WB dual release like Constantine, Batman etc. It seems like a prime title for this kind of treatment.

I saw it on IMAX, and I must say, even though it wasn't really that action-packed, it definately kept people focused on it, and it was a really good movie.

I have a bunch of free movie tickets to use up and I might use them for this if it's playing at the only decent theater around me (the one George Lucas does screenings at). If it's not, my home theater is better than the tiny cineplex screens around here.

As has been proven before, the theatre experience you have versus the theatre experience the rest of America has is wildly different. Seeing any movie at 7:00pm on a Friday or Saturday is a guaranteed way to ruin a fun time.

I just pray they don't call it the DVD for Vendetta Edition.

Actually...i sometimes have the same problems others do. I never said i didn't. And the reason I'm commenting is BECAUSE it was so quiet and easy to get lost in. And odd because I'm not the only person who mentioned having that experience and noticing the silence.

Man, I almost forgot about that. I have no idea how that could be possible. I think I might just have to catch it again, but at the Imax this time just for the school girl scene!

Throw me into the category of fanboy waiting in line to get this one home to watch again and again. I'd love the Alan Moore commentary like someone else suggested, but considering everything I've heard about him is that he's never happy with the movie versions of his works, I wouldn't hold my breath on that happening anytime soon.

Looks like it did come to the only decent theater around here so I guess I'll go see what the experience is like in the theater. I was considering going there for the King Kong remake (heard it really should be seen on a big screen) a while ago but it left so fast I didn't get a chance.

I think the last time I was at that theater was for the Planet of the Apes remake (hmm, two ape pictures...) when I wanted to compare its picture to what I had at home. That's why I haven't been back.

This thread is probably better suited for the Movie Talk section, but I'm just as carried away with this topic as all of you are. I saw the movie Saturday night, and walked away VERY impressed. I had no idea I'd like it as much as I did.

After the movie, I told my girlfriend, and the friends that came with us, that this was "a first day dvd purchase". I'll buy this on release day, regardless of the cost. I'm hoping there's a director's cut of it, with a longer playing time, because I seriously could have sat there watching that movie for another half hour. (Maybe longer, but I don't want to push it.)

I want a 2-disc (which is possible) with a DTS-ES mix (which is quite impossible).

What is it with you and your positive theater experiences? We get it. You have great theaters in your area.

I'll keep an eye out for DVD news as I will definitely be renting this one.

Hahaha...I WISH that were the case! More often than not, I just learned to either a) tune people out or b) report them to management. Pretty simple.

Will definitely be picking up the inevitable Special Edition of the flick to be dual released. But I heavily enjoyed the theatrical viewing.

no idea about the R1 release, but here in Sweden there's a 2-disc release slated for July 26th (no info on extras).

This is also rumored to be a HD-DVD title.

Aw man! I got suckered into thinking this was a thread about the release date.

The embarrassing thing is that I've read this thread before so, I guess I suckered myself.

i was flipping through dvdaf, and it had it listed for Aug 8th. No doubt this is preliminary but it'll probably be pretty close to that date.

Just saw it at IMAX, and it was one of the very few movies that I left with the intent of purchasing the DVD.
