Agree, original cover way cooler....new one sucks. I guess without big name actors you have to put the faces on the cover to sell it

Even though I liked the original art, I can understand that having Cruise and Diaz on the cover is probably a smart move. However, the revised artwork is terrible. Is that really the best they can do? You could probably get a kid on the IMDB boards to whip up something more appealing in an afternoon.

Anyway, the movie itself was a fun popcorn flick that didn't take itself too seriously. A throwback to the kind of action-comedies that were more common during the 1990s.

El Mariachi

Guessing the original artwork will be the artwork on the DVD (like it was on the "Jennifer's Body" DVD).

Michael Greenwaldt

Can you blame them for changing the artwork? The old artwork wasn't going to do much to attract buyers. Changing it was a smart decision if they want to make more money.

Anyway, the movie looked fun. I'll definitely rent the Blu-ray.

I thought it was a decent movie, just a good fun time at theaters.

Revised Artwork sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

David Blackwell

I like the original cover art better.

BIGPotterFan

Was pushed into seeing this a second time, but I didn't complain. It was a fun film, Tom Cruise was great as always.

Just Myself

I like the revised artwork better - Not as stylish as the original, but you need the stars to be featured somewhere on the cover. I agree with the idea that no star photos would be part to blame for B.O. failure.

And no US Extended Cut? I smell a double dip.

BoBoi

Revised Artwork are almost always worst than the original...

Edgeman05

Original art work was so much better. Plus the US isnt even getting the Extended Cut

yesiamaplant

Wow. F@#$ that new artwork.

Aark

Quick note:

UK and Europe are getting an Extended Cut, but it seems like the US is not based on this info.

Hedkickboy

You are absolutely right. A lot of people blamed this visual (and the lack of images of the stars) for the films poor box office.

Another reason you just knew they would switch the artwork.

People may recognize the artwork and associate with the Tom Cruise/Cameron Diaz movie, but in 5 years (when no one remembers this forgettable flick), they would see the artwork that doesn't show stars, and would have no clue. Fox's only options would be to change the artwork now, or re-do the artwork later, which means more $$$ spent.

A lot of people actually complained that the original poster didn't have the face of the two stars because it could be a huge selling point.

Jeez u guys were right, they did change the artwork. The problem is its about making money b/c the first cover would have been vague i guess. At least in the studios eyes

Phil92

Original artwork was better, although on the plain side.

Just announce Shrek Forever After now.

Futureboy

It was actually a well-directed film...but about 10 years too late. Tom still trying to act like he's in his 20s is really starting to reek of star vanity.

rebel-scum

It's wank. Learn the difference.

moviewizguy

This was such a fantastic film. I'm surprised by the comments here. And that plot device, it's not lazy. It's funny. Learn the difference. It's such a shame the film didn't do better. 8/10

Michael Cordwell

I quite liked this to be honest. I mean there were some obvious flaws but it was a decent action comedy to say the least. If it came on TV I would probably watch it again. I certainly enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than The A-Team. But Salt was better than both of them, in my opinion. Can't wait to pick that one up.

JoeR

What a terrible mess of a movie. The plot device already mentioned is extremely lazy and if it was used to keep the budget down, that's still not a good excuse since this is a big Hollywood movie that should have the budget to deliver what it promises. It doesn't help that neither of the leads can act anymore based on their performance in this film.

llama

Never seen the movie, but in any case: What's this? An actually good DVD cover? My God, it's a miracle!

flicster

Absolutely loved this movie ... it was a really fun movie in a sea of ho-hum (outside of Inception) movies this past summer.

hogaburger

Trailers looked fun but I heard otherwise. Will probably redbox it.

Chris Johnson

I avoided this. Looked really stupid to me.

Matt Clipp

VideoETA is showing completely different (and better) cover art. Just throwing that out there. But anyway, I really enjoyed this movie and saw it twice in theaters. It was a perfect combination of action and comedy.

JTStarkiller

I really disliked this film too, but that is some sweet cover art, I must say. Kudos to Fox if they actually stick with it.

shwanzi

Really? I thought that device was a pretty funny and clever idea since it's a Bond movie told from the Bond girl's perspective. It made sense in the story (and was most likely used to keep the budget down).

Johnny

HATED this movie. Had some of the laziest writing that I've ever seen in a movie. I don't want to spoil anything but one device that they use multiple times in the movie when they have no idea how the protagonists will get out of the situation that they put them in really made me angry.

jp orestes

Yeah rental for sure. Love the cover.

Pixarfan517

Rent.
