oh yes they did..
oooo they did - so much..great film.
Great film, took a couple viewings for me to really appreciate it. What a fitting quote.
I thought it was absolutely fantastic. Johnny Depp should've won best actor at the Oscars.
Chris: Any idea what the HD Audio spec. is?
That commentary looks exclusive to Warner. It's not on the Paramount DVD or cancelled HD-DVD. Speaking of which that overall had lots more extas and was even a 2 Disc HD-DVD with HD extras!
I hope the Warner BD also has TrueHD, if not I'll wait for the Paramount BD re-release. It better not just be DD5.1!
Commentary aside it looks pretty poor to what Paramount will be offering us.

All the covers are magnificent for this dvd.

I like that cover. and 'a bleedin' masterpiece' is a nice pun.
Normally, I hate the reviewer tag lines, but "a bleedin' masterpiece" almost sounds like a line from the movie, and is a great pun. I actually like the cover art for the Blu-Ray R2 better than the HD-DVD (Now defunct) cover in R1.

You can always rely on the Daily Mirror to give a good pun, it's the only thing you can rely on them for! Still picking such a two bit paper will probably mean more people see it.

It's RA and RB on HD
, and as it's a Warner title it's likely to be Region Free. Meaning you guys won't need to wait for Paramount to re-release it too. I cannot see the American BD until at least May now.

"A bleedin' masterpiece" is SO cliched. And I cant believe that idiot Tookey actually gave something more than 2 stars. Well done him.
That 'Bleedin masterpiece!' quote is pretty damn out of place. And leave it to those who decide these things to give R2 the Special Edition coverart that I wanted.
Wanted to like it but god was that singing awful. A Jack The Ripper movie with that dark gothic old London look would go down a treat.
I think I'm one of the few that didn't like this but like m@tt said, the singing was just so bad that I couldn't appreciate the visual spectacle
Depp's singing was excellent, from a technical point of view.
Both Amazon and Play.com are saying the 19th of May not the 19th of March. I had a feeling the first date was wrong. It's only just finished at the cinema.

I can't in good taste type what I thought of this tripe, it's be condidered trolling.
i saw this at the theaters with my girlfriend, and first, she hates musicals, and she goes to see horror movies cuz of me (huge fan) and we were like (ok, if in 5 minutes, they stop singing we stay) and well, u know what happens. we walk out (cuz of her) then when it came out on DVD (4/1/08 - R1) i gave it a second chance... and saw it by myself... and it was really really good film, i enjoyed it too much, even i made my brother see it...
so, yeah, i loved this...
