Thoughts about it?

I like the menu, nice choice of music and the whole transition from live-action to comic book snippets throughout the background.

I was very disappointed with the special feature. (yes special feature.)

With a movie like this, You'd expect atleast a two disc dvd...
But no, they give us a dvd with an 8 MINUTE "making of" :|.
There's two languages for subtitles, English and Spanish.

The picture quality and sound quality for everything was top-notch.
But if you want the DVD for just the movie itself, go for it.

If you want it for the special features, I'd wait for a different DVD to come out... Like a special edition or something.
 
Does the DVD include the extra scenes for each of the stories that were left out of the cinema releases?

It was meant to apparently.....

I'll be getting this edition, because I think it's worth buying a nicer set for such a good movie, and I want some of the original source material for the movie in the first place, which is included in it:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos...9383/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_11_2/026-4462834-4742803

Thats' really not very special. You can buy all the graphic novels individually (I have one, ordered it from amazon actually) and with this set you're just getting four items in a cardboard sleeve. HMV do these kind of deals too- they simply get a shiny cardboard case that probably costs less and call it an "HMV exclusive".

Personally, I think it would be better to just wait for a 2 disc edition, as there's bound to be one. In the meantime, you can buy the books individually. Buying it all in a bundle only saved you about £4 anyway.
 
I hate special editions because they have 10000 hours of shit-you-won't-watch. (Or at least I won't). But I like when they have extra scenes and that sort of thing. So... will the special edition of this movie have extra (deleted) scenes, or should I just buy the version that's out now?

They're probably going to release an Unrated or Director's Cut version.

It'll include an extensive making of... deleted scenes... character bios... commentary... etc.

Or it should include all that.
If you wanna watch the movie again, rent it atleast.
This version's not worth the buy.

I watch all of that content :D In fact, I get annoyed when there's not enough extras on a DVD; that's the reason why I buy them, after all.
 
I'll wait for the one with full commentary by cast + directors. Commentaries are funny if there's more than 1 guy in the little booth talking.

Same with me.

I want atleast two dvds packed with special features whenever I buy a movie on dvd.

I mean what other purpose is there for a DVD if you're not going to add bonus content?
 
LOTR was great for putting losts of extras on their DVDs. Having atleast a 45 min documentary of "the making of" is my expectations for "special features" on DVDs.

the lord of the rings rocked on the commentary.
I thought Sin City was coming out with loads of extra scenes/story? I hope a special edition does, probably around christmas? :stare:
 
A Special-Edition would kick ass for this movie, deleted scenes ftw!
 
IN THE WORDS OF R.RODRIGUEZ : THIS IS NOT THE REAL DVD, THIS IS A TEMPORARY RELEASE UNTIL THE REAL ONE COMES OUT!

The reall DVDs will include all three stories the way they were meant to be seen: as seperate movies, completely uncut from the comic books.
 
so this version is not worth buying?
hmm...any word on a better version being released? seriously...i'd like something decent ya know? :p

Yeah LOTR had good commmentary, although only some of the people like the Merry and Pippen were in the same room, that's why they were the best to listen to.

I have one of those kind of DVDs for The Big Lebowski. They're lame. You get to choose your language and screen size then play the movie. No extras or anything :(

Worth renting, If you wanna watch the movie again.
 
Does anyone know the name of the song that plays in the menu, or is that exclusive to the movie?

The two disc is supposed to be released in November. I definitely won't be wasting my money on this crappy dvd, wait for the special edition
 
Heh - I only saw it at the cinema a couple of weeks ago. That film is AMAZING. I loved 'the Farm' idea and that someone so geeky looking could be so cool. Gives us hope does that :)
 
as others have said, im waiting for the dvd which will include all 3 stories, uncut. they shot all of them long with the dvd in mind.
 
I stole my copy from Wal-Mart, I haven't seen Sin City, so i'll be watching it for the first time later on tonight.

as will I.
 
Amazon was supposed to ship this out on the 16th and have it here on the 18th. Here I sit on the 19th without my copy. If I don't get it soon, I may have to castrate someone by hand...twice.
