I didn't purchase the recent release Blu-ray for this very reason so on November 3rd...this Blu-ray will be mine. I had to wait as everyone else bought the current edition but my wait is well worth it.

I also didn't like how the Black Freighter turned out but they did remove a lot from the graphic novel

JoshWilding - 9/23/2009, 9:09 AM
No thanks! I already spent £30 buying an import copy of the directors cut that wasnt released in the UK and seeing as the motion comic is shit and Tales of the Black Frieghter is a 20min cartoon I can watch on YouTube or buy on DVD for £3, ill save my money!!!

I mean, apart from the cartoon being added into the movie (something i would find a distraction as i did in the book) and maybe one or two new special feature what is the point of buying this if you already have the directors cut!?!

Dark Knight was the comic book movie of the decade. WATCHMEN was disappointing at best. plus why would someone need two copies of the same film? I understand that one is the "theatrical" version, but if you had the directors cut why the hell would you want the theatrical one?

Whispers68 - 9/23/2009, 9:23 AM
The DVD is set to go on sale for $43.87 and the Blu-ray for $59.99

The sad thing is, there will only be (supposedly) 70K copies created

ROR @ It'll be on AMAZON etc online!

An ive been told Blu-ray is region free, if you want the dvd though, you'd hav'ta have a multi region player which you prob have got no doubt.

REMI @ [frick] off, you don't know what your talking about lol! : D

LEE: No you're right - my favourite part of the motion comics is when the male narrator starts talking in a womanly voice! Pure quality that was! And JDM was one of the reasons i decided to see it - the graphic novel didnt impress me all that much so i needed to find some reason, lol!

ROR: I managed to find the Directors Cut on ebay for something like £28. Blu-rays are region free so you shouldnt have a problem finding this on the net within a few days of it coming out in the US!

RemiMartini: I actually think you have a point! Having spent extra for the directors cut,why would i ever want to view the shorter, 'inferior' version!? And you actually have a good point when it comes to TDK as well...having re-watched both that and Watchemen recently i would say that The Dark Knight is probably a fair bit better than Watchmen!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAWESOME!!!! I've been waiting for this. I put off buying the DVD 'cause I'd read that this five disk-er was coming out.

Well i won the Black Freighter DVD and loved the hell out of it!!! But i'm with Josh, it would throw me way off to have it interwoven like it did when i read the book. To me, i didn't feel it necessary to read the tale at the same time. I could understand it much more in itself as a whole story from beggining to end. And i don't own the graphic novel but i did very much enjoy watching the first motion comic chapter. I wouldn't mind getting that separately actually. But since i want the director's cut to not have the tail interwoven, i might just buy the D.C. alone as well as the motion comic if it comes down in price. The rest that is offered in the package is irrelevant to me. I always say i want special editions but i never sit down and watch documentaries.

Oh and IRONMAN was the comic book movie of the decade!!!

FX wise, Ironman had much more to offer and as much as Watchmen's storyline was brilliant for the 90ies, i feel Ironman's story in his film was even better and more entertaining. Aside from a naked sex scene with Malin Akerman, Watchmen had nothing that Ironman didn't.

Watchmen was a great adaptation but IMO, Ironman was simply better!

GUYS @ Its not like WB didn't tell everyone this was coming out!!

Most that wanted it, waited for it!!!

JAY @ Soz no info on a europe release, maybe its the same time?

Sorry Shaman, but Watchmen had infinity more than Iron Man did! I loved Iron Man as much as anyone but you could write the story on the back of a beer mat. It was pure entertainment and a bit of bang and smash. Nothing wrong with that of course, especially when its done with as much style as Iron man was. But Watchmen is deep stuff man. Its thought provoking, intelligent and layered. The deepest Iron Man goes is showing Stark having a touch of the guilties about being a prick. Again, if you found it to be more entertaining thats one thing but as far as actual content and artistic vision goes, its like comparing Independence Day to District 9

as great as this news is, and as much as i want the dvd, i still find absolutely no reason why ";)" or "lol" warrant their own comment. post something intelligent and worthwhile or don't post at all.

incidentally, iron man was far superior to dark knight in every way, namely acting and writing. and watchmen was damned good, but the story didn't hold together as well on screen as iron man's did, which is an unfortunately inevitable result of doing such a loyal adaptation of the book.

I don't know Ror, I think the movie versions of Iron Man and the Watchmen were on the same level. The Watchmen movie just wasn't long enough to convey the thriller aspect of the GN, there wasn't enough time to see Night owl and Ror piece together ozy's scheme... they just sort of have a tada! moment in the movie where as in the GN it's a slower process that creeps up on them. Also, because there was so much story to convey the character development, which was essential to the plot(never mind just being plain beautiful), was absent in the movie. All that was really carried over fully from the GN was the pure spectacle of it, it had lots of cool explosions and cool gory effects, but the emotional impact was missing, there was no shock when you found ozy was behind it all, you didn't really understand why the comedian was important. It was just really disjointed, and unless you were familiar with the story already you were lost.
So in that respect ironman was a little better, because while it was mostly about the exploisons and the cool armor, you atleast understood what was going on even if you had never seen or heard of ironman in your entire life.

See now, i wanted to go all deep into details as to why Ironman was a better film but you guys stole the show. I will have to pretty much say the same as thwhtknight that Ironman had way more character development. But that was also Downey's fault, he just did a performance too brilliant for other films of the genre to compare. Yes, he was that damn good. Even if there was more "thaught" put into Watchmen's story, the only thaught it provoked in me was that it was all forced. It didn't feel natural. Roughly translated it felt fake while Ironman was taking life right in front of me. Even though Ironman's story was no pulizer, it rang much more true to me than Watchmen's. And like i said, i felt that Watchmen's story was actually brilliant for the 90ies, but not so much in our day and age. I even came to that conclusion in my review of the GN, before the movie even came out.

As for TDK, Ledger, Freeman, Oldman and Caine acted brilliantly. The only reason that i feel it pales next to Ironman is that TDK's leading role got overshadowed by many supporting performances while Ironman's leading role outshined every performance in TDK IMO. I enjoyed Downey even more than Ledger. Yes, i said it. He was that damn good.

Oh and Ror, i never saw District9 but Independence day had brilliant character development! And that is rare when you concider how many important parts were played in it's story. They established a breath taking amount of realistic human development with a concept as simple as an alien invasion. Something where "Signs & War of the Worlds" weren't as successful IMO.

MarkCassidy - 9/23/2009, 12:19 PM
But the thing is guys, Im not just talking about the basic plots here. Even at that i still think Watchmen is far superior but Im talking about the intricate details. The depth, how it makes you ponder the nature of existence, the reason for being good in an evil world, what it really means to be a "Hero", a "villain".

Just me? haha. Anyway, i got all of those things from the movie. From Iron man i got..."Well, that was shit cool..now, where will we eat"

Comes down to what you want in a movie and personal preference of course. I thought Independence Day was cheesy, derivative bollocks with Baysplosions. Really didn't see any characters to develop, just one dimensional pilot/president/scientist/looney archetypes.
