sounds like all the 'extras' will be better than the actual movie I'm not thinking this 'director's cut' will be as good the DC of 'Kingdom of Heaven' but I could be wrong.

I actually really enjoyed Robin Hood. Going in with the knowledge that it's a precursor to the story done in Ridley Scott's muddy, gritty style helps, though it still creaks in a few problem areas. Count me as someone who's looking forward to seeing what Scott does with his "director's cut".

Labor

Its "only" 16 minutes extra, so yeah, all it might do is flesh out a few things. Could certainly make it a better movie.

But I doubt it can turn it into a great movie like KoHs huge amount of extra footage did

When I saw the thread title, I had a brief hope for it to be Disney's animated Robin Hood on Blu...

We'll probably Netflix the director's cut for the wife.

Artman

Enjoyed this one, but starting Sept everything's on hold until the holiday sales.

Might give this a rental but I don't think I liked it enough to want to own it. I was really pretty disappointed when I saw it in theaters, but wouldn't mind seeing some of the extras.

Mr. Cinema

The bonus disc from Target appears to have a couple of 15 minute featurettes. My copy has been delivered from Amazon. Despite the negative reviews, I'm still fairly excited to see this. But I've heard the pacing in the middle is a bit slow.

E Unit

Same for me. blind buy from Target. Oddly, one of the only Ridley Scott movies I missed during its theatrical run.

Mike UFC

Was there a sticker or something on the Target one signifying that it's an exclusive? My wife is picking it up for me and want to make sure she gets the right one.

EDIT: NM, it does.

I got one at Target at 8am. Thankfully I did before they got all the copies into the security boxes because they ruined every slipcover they put into the plastic cases. The bonus disc has two 15-16 min featurettes called "behind the scenes with Russell Crowe and his merry men castmates" and "In-depth look at the legendary world of sherwood forest and robin hood's epic battle of tyranny" in case anyone wants to know. Target had about 30 copies of the exclusive out this morning.

Kory

I found a copy that wasn't too badly mangled by the plastic case, but they were all bent up. Every single copy in stock. I complained to the manager because I wasn't too keen on buying pre-damaged merchandise, and she took 10% off for me. Good customer service.

AmityBoatTours

Is this like 2012 Where the UPC is the same as the non exclusive versions sold everywhere else.

Anubis2005X

I saw the same thing with Prince of Persia last week. Just ridiculous. I went over to Best Buy and bought my copy from there instead. Usually I use Amazon, but I had a Disney coupon to use...

slop101

Is the Target bonus disc a dvd or a blu-ray disc?

gryffinmaster

dvd.

bigjim25

Mine don't even keep the slipcovers. They take them all off and throw them away.
