Didn't get around to seeing this one, but heard it was pretty good. I'll blind-buy it or put it on my Christmas list.
Now that's good artwork. I'm jealous
Great soundtrack when NIN came on. Really bad film.
one-disc artwork > special edition artwork
boo at the special edition artwork... jolie is not the main character, damnit. mcavoy, mcavoy, mcavoy.

that special edition is pretty amazing. i'll get this one.
Universal wants to murder your wallet with that giftset, count me in as a victim. I loved this film, looking forward to it.
Loved it. Blu for me.
I'm not surprised the single disc art is better than the 2 disc/Blu art. That's to be expected this year

wow, they actually used the theatrical poster for one version? color me shocked. lol
and yeah, i really liked this and i'm sucker for fancy packaging so im gonna have to probably get the box set thingy, i love the cover and slipcover for that one.

Wow, godawful 2-disc artwork. I might have to go with the giftset on this, great artwork, and cool extra stuff. And this film wasn't a masterpiece, but had some crazy action, and my favorite closing line ever.
That gift set looks sharp, but I think I'm gonna go for the 2-disc.
Love the look of the LE, so Blu LE for me then...
The 2 disc artwork is terrible! I'll probably pick up the single disc.
the single disc art it's cool
the 2 discs art sucks really bad!
and there is no way im spending 70 bucks on that pointless giftset
it's just not one of my favorite movies
but im getting the single disc...
i love Angelina

haven't seen it, ill netflix it, 2 disc artwork looks awful tho. Does this movie even deserve a giftset, seems like every movie is getting a giftset these days. Crossing my fingers for the inevitable Beverly Hills Chihuahua Giftset.
i really really liked this movie.
brain on hold type.
fun flick.

OK, the two-disc cover's terrible!
The film wasn't great, but that Collector's set looks pretty epic. I'm going to be really tempted come December 2nd to pick that up!

Well it's about time! This was one of the most surprising and enjoyable films of the summer and I can't wait to watch it again. I'm still deciding on whether to get the 2-Disc or the giftset, but good artwork all around.
I think I'll wait for the eventual 4-Disc "Curve The Bullet Edition".
Jolie is officially crossed eyed on the 2-Disc cover. Wait Universal got rid of the silver swoosh at the bottom of their front covers for the BD versions? wow! about time...though i kinda of like them.
Gift set looks great.. 2-disc artwork is pretty bad though.
I don't know if or how much I'll like this movie, but I'm a sucker for steelbooks.
Loved the movie and will definitely buy it, but I'm really not sure what I'll get. On one hand, I'd love the giftset, but am too cheap to pay that much. I may get the 2-Disc, but it's stupid to pay more when I won't even watch the extras. I only want it just to have it. So maybe for now I should just go with the 1-Disc and someday trade-up. Besides, the 1-Disc does have better artwork.
Anyway, I guess I'll decide later.

It's out on 20th October here in the UK... Liking the single disc and LE giftset artwork but damn, that 2-disc artwork is shockingly bad!! Whoever greenlit that to be released to the general public should be fired.
As for the film, I've not seen it - although I heard from a couple of mates it's pretty dire but might give it a rent on DVD and make up my own mind.

you better copyright that before an executive reads this site and uses it.

Lol. All the discs are housed in an enormous bullet.
Like everyone else I'm shocked at how god awful that 2-Disc cover art is, terrible!
So, is she going to really have that many kids? (Refers to tattoo on arm) 
I was moaning in disappointment when I saw that 2-disc cover...but once I saw the gift set I cheered up right away. Definately going for the gift set.
I loved this movie. Lots of fun. Written very well. Nice to see a movie that proves it doesn't have to follow the comic 100% to be good.
