Those covers are amazing. It sucks that the Blu-ray does not include the theatrical cut... Is there any way for anyone to post the back covers? I'd love to see them.

will the director's cut also have the theatrical version?
Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and wait for the "Absolute" edition coming out later in the year.
No audio commentary? Even 300 had one.
Saw this in IMAX. The film left me a bit underwhelmed to be honest. But I'll pick it up on Blu anyway. Oh, and that's one terrible cover...
I am ready to bet $10 that Warner will release a special-ultimate-collector's edition similar to last year 300 or I am Legend two weeks before christmas on this one. This is not enough "sugar-coated"...
There will definitely be some sort of ultimate collector's edition sometime later this year. Zack Snyder couldn't shut up about it in his interviews, and there's no way they'd just leave us hanging like that (even Warner Brothers isn't THAT harsh). But I'll stick be getting this version just to hold me off until that other inevitable release...I loved this movie!
Love the Blu Ray cover. This movie was, however, so overrated and overhyped. I'll pick it up when someone from Amazon.com is will to sell it for fifteen bucks.
Overhyped before the actual release? Yes.
Overrated? No. It failed commercially and critically.

Is there a reason Rorschach seems to be farting fire all over The Comedian?
Hahaha, Asses of Fire (starring Terrance and Phillip).
The 2-Disc DVD/Blu-Ray covers looks awesome.
Wow... a 2-disc edition that sounds just as cheap as the Dark Knight 2-disc edition... Warner really put all the stops. I'll just wait for the "Otherworldly Edition" to come out to see if anything substantial ABOUT the movie can be included... I mean come on, I love DVDs for the fact that you can go behind-the-scenes but since the Blu-Ray came out, nothing is done for DVD except to try and let it die slowly.
I wont keep my hopes up too much since Warner's the only studio (besides Lionsgate with their cheap editions) capable enough to deceive me with a forthcoming edition.
And the Razzie for worse DVD special features ever go to Warner.

Great a must on blu ray amazing covers this movie is a spectacle visually stunning hope the transfer to blu will be as good as it was at the movies.
I cant believe some would say the 2 disc BD cover looks awesome, nice or great. Its basically the standalone self character poster of Rorschach, only with broken pieces of glass scattered all over the place with the rest of the cast in the reflections.
Lookie: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/pictures/7...
in my opinion i think is sweet just not perfect.

Wow, this is coming out faster than I expected. Want to wait for the more definitive edition, but the temptation to pull the trigger on the 2-disc Blu-ray will be very strong.....
What's the runtime on the Director's Cut?
I LOVED THIS MOVIE!! I saw it 3 times in theatres. I cannot wait for the director's cut. Is it going to theatre's first? That's what I heard.
Cool cover on the 2-disc and blu-ray editions. Too bad the movie sucks...

The reviews for "Watchmen" were mixed as opposed to mostly negative, and as for it's box-office performance -- it underperformed. It took $100 million to make the movie and it got that amount back plus a bit of change (and add in the foreign grosses, which were $70 million). If it was an outright failure, it would've made less than $100 million.
I personally liked this film a LOT more than Snyder's overhyped (and grossly overrated) "300." "Watchmen" has a lot of complexity, beauty and some good thought-provoking material to go along with the action. The thing is, I think the overfaithful adaptation put off a lot of the general audience who weren't familiar with or didn't read the graphic novel. (I do think the Dr. Manhattan backstory was a bit too much.)

Looks like the 2-disk DVD lacks in features, just like Dark Knight did. Cool covers anyways. Probably will be getting the 2-disk DVD
Gah, I hate when they say "2 disc" anymore, it always means one of those worthless digital copies, which if you really need, you don't know how to use a computer and how you got to typing a post on this website is beyond me...
Loved this movie though, will be waiting for the special edition later on.

I'll be getting the 2 disc BD, then decide whether or not a supposed ultimate edition is worth the upgrade.
The Blu Ray will be a definite buy. Depending on whether or not the inevitable release of an ultimate edition will have a longer cut of the movie, I will upgrade then. For now though, a Director's Cut will be fine with me.
I didn't like it either but i will rent the blu ray. Very nice covers too
Stupid digital copy. Give us more extras! Nobody uses those Digital Copies. Great film, was a wee bit too long though. This films greatest attribute is the CGI. That is how CGI is supposed to be used. Take the audience where they would never thing to go and while doing so grab their attention and never let go. Plus, amazing characters. But, don't feel like I'd watch and re watch this.
