man.. the poster was great, and this just makes it look like a Bourne film. That font on the back is atrocious. And there a half dozen characters with bigger parts than Jolie & De Niro.

It's a damn fine film though. Looking forward to De Niro's future films.

this looks so good!!

and not so many movies that I liked come out in march :S

Really? A 4 hour cut will never get released. Maybe longer though.

It's opening soon here.

I presume the DVD will be a 1 Disc affair? If so I'll pick up the HD-DVD Combo so I can get the HD and DVD with all extras.

p.s - FINALLY it's great to hear Robert Deniro is back on form. It only took him 9 years of crud (since Ronin).

I really dug The Good Shepherd. It had a very New Hollywood feel to it.

Extremely disappointed with this one. The pacing was so slow and it was hard to follow. Children of Men and Blood Diamond were much better films.

Great art, well-done film, great performance by Damon.

I would have figured that with all that space at the top, they'd manage to slide in: ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE.

haha larry king..."the best spy movie ever"

i believe he's quoted on the "bringing down the house" dvd as well: "one of the funniest movies ever."

larry king is one of the worst reviewers. ever.

According to highdefdigest.com, this is slated for a March 2nd release. Since the HD DVD is supposed to be day & date with the standard DVD, it stands to reason this is the release date for both. Sorry Starman.... your wallet's just gonna have to keep screaming..

I did not like this movie. It was about twice as long as it should have been, and not written well enough. The source material would obviously make for a good movie, but I thought it was handled poorly.

Also, btw, Universal needs to stop being little b***hes and release on Blu-ray. Even though I don't care for HD-DVD, this goes to Disney too since I'm ranting now. Disney, stop being little bithes and release on HD-DVD! All studios should do duel format releases, it's criminal. I can't wait till Blu-ray wins and this is all over, and it will win. Pirates already cracked the HD-DVD encryption code, so it's dead.
I've seen both in action, and I have to say, HD-DVD is far better quality. HD-DVD is incredibly sharp and detailed, while blu-ray is incredibly soft.
Also, I was dying to see this, so I'll probably netflix it.

When they first announced this, I was practically elated but once it came in theaters, I lost interest fast due to critical reception.  How cool would it have been if it was Marty vs. DeNiro in the Director race? (With Marty winning, naturally).  Oh well, I'll give it a rent just to see Pesci again, oh so briefly.  Blu-Ray owners are very hostile towards HD-Dvd, only because they know their format is definitely going to be a bust, and they are fully aware of it (and ticked for buying their expensive player).  Honestly, I could care less about both formats, I'm not rebuying my collection.  I just find it pointless when people flip out over format wars, because I don't see either winning.  It's not like the jump from VHS to dvd where the picture was THAT much better.  Even on a super duper expensive HD tv with HDDVD, I don't see much reason to upgrade, other than little  minute details added.  You can beg to differ, but I'll never be convinced.

Street date confirmed as the 3rd April...

It did look good, but this is rediculous.  It hasn't even been two months since the theatrical release and the DVD is already announced.  No wonder nobody is going to the movies anymore; it's cheaper to just wait and get the DVD in a couple months, though if you do that, you're going to be paying even more when the director's cut comes out a few months after that.  I buy very few movies in their first release anymore.  And forget about HD/Blu-ray, I can't even be bothered with that debate.

I have a PS3, so Blu-ray. But I honestly I just want one format to win so I can buy the movies I want. I want so many Universal titles that I can't get, and I'm sure HD-DVD owners want titles they cant get from studios like Disney. While Blu-ray has 50GB versus HD-DVD 30GB I am in favor for Blu-ray more. Also, hackers already broke the encryption code to HD-DVD. So I wonder if studios will start siding with Sony.

The DRM for both has been cracked.

Also, 3 layer HD-DVD will have more space and still cheaper to produce than Blu-ray.
