Although its unclear what exactly will be spread across these 5 discs and whether this will be released in countries other than the US.

It was also reported earlier this week that the UK Blu-ray edition will have several more special features than the US edition due to it being released by a different distributor including Video Journals, Webisodes, Viral Videos and the Theatrical Cut of the film currently unavailable elsewhere as well as a Digital Copy exclusive to the UK so it seem possible that these features could be in the Ultimate Edition.

Well, there could be all sorts of documentaries and interviews and stuff. Look at the LOTR special editions, those had 4 discs and all were well worth it.

While I'd like to see Black Freighter woven into the movie I dont see me getting this. The movie was by far the summers best, but I've been burned in the past with sets like this before. Pay out $40 dollars or more and only about a quarter of the content is worth seeing.

superdog - 7/10/2009, 3:41 PM
Longbowhunter@ I agree

ror@ you have a good point, but the lotr were each like 3 hours long and filmed over years. I gotta think they had alot of extra stuff that lots of other movies wouldn't have

i think that the directors cut will be enough for me - im not that interested in a pile of documentries (theres already loads on the directors cut) and commentaries - besides i already have Under The Hood and Black Frieghter so wouldnt want them again. as for frieghter being integrated into the movie-seeing as that was actually my least favourite part of the graphic novel im not intrested inpaying extra for that feature.

im gonna wait until a 6 disc set comes out. isnt this like the fourth dvd release for this movie. i was not impressed enough to spend what will probably be 80 dollars on this i was not a big fan of this movie compared to the novel.

I gotta say I'm with Keven on this.

5 disc Ultimate Edition seems like a whole lot of filler, and if you've already got most of the pieces, this really isn't worth it. The clever dick who waited, and will continue to wait, for this seems like the only one who will really make out on this deal.

Well guys i am a fence sitter on this one ror makes a very vaild point. i have the box sets for lord of the rings with the figures and shit (im a collector). But 5 discs seems like a bit of an over load unless there devoting 2 discs to allan more which sadly we know will never happen! black frieghter woven in sounds pretty sweet but that being said if it gets realeased in Oz it will cost $120 [frick]ing bucks! the joy of down under lol

TDK was better then this movie. But seriously this better be the Ultimate one. I don't wanna have to spend another $50 on 1 that's comes out 2 months later.

I purposely didn't buy Tales of the Black Freighter because I knew they'd do this. But i'm bummed out because they aren't releasing the ultimate edition 'til flippin' CHRISTMAS! BOOOOO!

I don't know why everyone thinks 5 discs is so many. The Superman box set has 14!(7 movies, 7 discs of extras)
MatchesMalone
MatchesMalone - 7/11/2009, 9:56 AM
2 versions of 1, 2 versions of 2, 3, 4 and Returns.

How is 5 discs a lot? This is practically a COLLECTION for chissakes.

1) Watchmen (Theatrical, DC, DC+ToBF)
2) ToBF/ Under Hood
3) Motion Comics
4) Extras
5) More extras, Digital Copy, End is Nigh Game, etc...

Hell, alot of stuff on Discs 1 and 5 prolly cant fit on 1 disc....
