The visuals were great but the story was weak. I hope those extra 18 minutes helps.

This sucks, the director's cut is only on Blu-ray? Assh*les! Guess I'm being forced into buying an extended cut so I can see the superior version of the movie I can only watch on my laptop. *rolls eyes

Between your Harakiri avatar and your choices of women, I must say that you have immaculate taste sir. Keep up the good work.

Like what you want and if something interests you, take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.  The worst thing that can happen with you watching something is that you won't like it.  By not watching something, the worse than can happen is that you'll miss out on a film that you'd watch forever.  I'm not saying that "Sucker Punch" will be The Film for you, just don't let critics and the like sway you from watching something you might like.  There're plenty of films out there that're critics' darlings that people wouldn't be caught dead with, and there're some films out there that people love that have critics making sacrifices to their Fellini idol.  And, AND critics have been known to eat crow about a film that they bashed so much (see "Robocop" and "Fight Club".  So like what you want.

Yeah, I'm just saying I think they will milk people with on-demand prices instead of releasing the DVD/Blu-ray simultaneous to the theatrical release, if things ever reach that point (and I doubt they will). And holy c**p that would be the best marketing ever.

That's funny, because, to me, "that Owl Movie" was by far the most insidious in that regard, with its manichean, mystical parable about a "just war" against the "evil ones".

Good point!

Horrible, horrible movie. Made no sense from beginning to end.
Extended cut?!?!? Is that so I can sleep longer? Oh boy. What a waste of a blu-ray disc. Just burn the original print. UGH!

LMAO!!! That's really funny!

This film was so disappointing. I'd finish this comment, but I just went into a dream sequence.

Easily the film that made me most angry this year, and also one of the most inept films I've ever witnessed through the glory of an IMAX screen.

Zack Snyder had a lot of good will from me before the film began. Less so 10 minutes in. None by film's end.
It's all about rape for goodness sake, and the action is dull, lifeless, limp, the music is just comprised of terrible cover songs, the characters dull, or stupid, nothing works, I mean, ARGH! It makes me angry just thinking about it.

i understand that, its normal for the extras to be prepared in advance. i just mean the release is rushed. there's just a slightly over 3 month gap between the theatrical and home video release. i know movies come out faster these days but this is really close. i figured it woulda gotten a august release, july at the earliest.

i remember when dvds came out 5-7 months later, now we're at an average of 4-5 and in some cases like these, 3 months. i get the impression one day it'll be a simultaneous theatrical/home video release. lol

Well, I think that once a film isn't in theatres, it should be out on DVD.  With that said, films aren't in theatres nearly long enough.  I'm beating a well-weathered drum by complaining about Hollywood films being ruled by The Opening Weekend, not being allowed to breathe, and there're folk far wordier about the topic than I can be here so I'll put down my drumsticks.

Is it just 18 minutes of up-skirt shots?

Easily one of my favorite movies of the year so far. Picking up the BD for sure as the 18 minutes should hopefully flesh out some of the things for sure.

but its pretty funny how quickly this is hitting home video..damn. dont get me wrong, i'm one of the few who loved this but its still funny and sorta sad. i figured a july/august release at the earliest. lol

Yeah.

We can hope that one of major retailers will have an exclusive DVD, like what happened with "Terminator: Salvation" (Target offered a two disc set with the director's cut).

so let me get this straight. their putting the extended cut on bluray & just theatrical on dvd? what kinda c**p is that? i loved the theatrical version yes but i was really hoping the extra mins would be released on dvd as well. that really makes me mad.

No extended cut on the standard DVD? the Hell WB?

I really enjoyed Sucker Punch. And, with an additional 18 minutes added only makes it better. It hopefully means more story, character development and action. And, let's hope they don't dub over Vanessa's F-bomb. Don't get me wrong, I don't need cursing in my films to enjoy them, but I loved that line and hope it's in its full glory in the blu-ray extended cut. Lastly, I like the cover, but I hope it's just a slipcover with the real pic underneath of all the girls.

I really wanted to see this movie, but none of my friends were interested in going. I'll definitely be getting this on Redbox to see how good (or bad) it is, since I heard very mixed reviews about it.

I'll check out the extended edition even though I didn't like the theatrical version

Aark wrote: Wonder why its called Extended Cut rather than Directors Cut, considering that Snyder constantly referred to it as his Directors Cut in interviews

According to Snyder himself, some of the most outrageous scenes were left out even prior to the shooting, or shot but never finalized (meaning no CGI enhancements), and only a big box office success would have made financially possible to include those.

So, lacking the funding for a real "Director's Cut", this is just an "Extended Cut" with whatever was excised because of the MPAA or the control groups tests.

I'm curious to see how the Extended Cut turns out, but I'm worried that even an R rated cut can't save this film.

Pandering: The Movie

Given the difference in Blu-Ray and DVD times I guess it is the Directors cut.  Its 127mins Blu and 110mins Dvd.

Thats a great cover. Cant wait to pick it up

One of the seemingly few that loved the movie. Will definitely purchase the Director's Cut.

i wonder whats gonna happen with the director's cut Snyder has discussed. will it be released at the same time or will he do like Watchmen and release the theatrical in June and the director's cut in the fall?
