Guess I'm one of the few people who liked both "Superman Returns" and "X-Men 3". Loved them actually. Though I thought "SR" was much much beter. About it making less than "X-Men 3", is this really such a surprise? Superman's movie franchise was dead dead dead. The last one being released 19 years ago. Each film made less money. Not to mention got worse in quality. I'm also one of the few people that thought "Superman II" was good, not great. Can wait to see Richard Donner's cut this Fall. The last "Superman" film ("The Quest for Peace"
only made 15 million at the box-office. So, budget aside, 185K and counting for "Superman Returns" is pretty astounding.

I'll get the Collector's set 'cause it's the only one with nice art.
Im quite excited on this release. It isnt a 2-Disc release but there are some nice features in this DVD.
Further details, and highres artwork added. Fox has confirmed no DTS, although a Dolby Digital 6.1 EX track will be included instead...
So there will be an "enhanced" Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX track? On another site the sound specs were English DD5.1-EX, as well as French and Spanish Dolby Surround tracks. (The words "Dolby Digital 6.1 ES" makes me think there is a DTS track included.)
I am still going to wait for the X3.2 release that is sure to come. While the extras are decent, there still seems to be some holding back on the real goods here.
I don't understand, like with Potter, why companies can not create unified cases for movies in franchises. The cover art for this is so much different than the previous two. It probably doesn't matter much to the companies, but to the collector, it is nice to have a franchise set that looks like it belongs together. I know Fox is still pissed at Singer, but they don't have to go out of their way to make sure X3 looks nothing like the other two movies because of some piss contest with the former director.

Who do I have to blow to get this on HD DVD?
..............Don't answer that.

I won't answer that. Oh wait I just did since a nonanswer is still an answer.
Anyone else notice that they couldn't bear to write out X3? Everyone was referring to it as X3 but even on the spine of the regular edition it just reprints the graphic of the claws over the X rather than just spelling out "X3." On the trilogy box, it's "X2: Xmen United" but not "X3: Last Stand" "Xmen: Last Stand." Weird.

"Bah!" on the lack of DTS. Also, they should just lose the regular 5.1 track for the 5.1 EX track.

This is one of the year's best. The people who worship Singer and bash this film can screw off. It rapes Superman Returns. Must buy.Have you seen V For Vendetta, united 93, or pirates of the caribean 2 this is not the best movie of the year. I'm not a huge singer fan but I still fell that Xmen 2 is the best and out of those movies this doesnt compare. now I liked xmen 3 but I felt it was rushed and could have been so much beter if they wanted to be by the way ill rent this maybe pick it up wen x3.2 comes out

There's no such thing as Dolby 6.1 EX. It's 5.1 EX, because the sixth channel is matrixed. Dolby even write it that way themselves. It's interesting to note that only the standard edition says 6.1 EX. No mention of that soundtrack is included with the PR for the Collector's Edition. Make of that what you will.
That review quote on the cover just about sums up everything that was wrong with this film - action over plot. Best X-Men film yet... Yeah right.

I think the CE will include the 5.1 EX track... on another site it says the CE will have all the features on the regular widescreen edition (the DVD will probably be packaged in a slipcase with the comic book). It's more than likely both editions will have the 5.1 EX track.

will it be the same versions and art for the UK? It comes out her Oct 9th.
they messed up on the 1-disc art soooo much. thank God, they're putting the poster as the CE art. Might pick that one up. this movie was just an 8/10 for me.

Fox UK hasn't released the artwork yet. I'll announce it when they do. The previous region two releases have had different art to the region one release.

hm, I hope it will be different. I am buying the R2NL 2 disc release, that's practically almost the same as R2UK, so can't wait to see it.
Amen to Frank The Rabbit I was surprised with all the positive posts here....man they pretty much pulled a MK: Armageddon on us with this one. I was looking for Anderson in the credits somewhere. They should have waited on this one. The movie seemed rushed so I guess they thought effects would fill in the holes.
I enjoyed Superman Returns much more than X3. For that matter, I think I liked last year's Fantastic Four better than X3.
I will likely get SR the week of release. But I'll wait for X3 to turn up used at Blockbuster; it's not worth paying full price IMO.

I'll give you "V is for Vendetta". It is definitely one of the year's best. And although I haven't seen "Flight 93" yet (just couldn't), everyone I knew who has said it was the year's best. But "Pirates 2" was absolute C-R-A-P! Which pains me to say because I ***loved*** the first one. Was even at the first show for the sequel. It was just a mess. I'm hoping it's the "Temple of Doom" of the Pirates trilogy.
I think even those who hate "X-Men 3" would say it would make a decent rental. At the very least. Again, I enjoyed it a great deal. But my money is on "Superman Returns" as the best movie of the year. And if you haven't seen it at an IMAX theater. GO!

overall I like the cover, but I hate the quote, it just sounds silly when you say it out loud. I would have rather seen nothing there, but if they must they should put the tagline, "Take a Stand", that would have been cooler. But anyways I cant wait to get this, I love the X-Men films!

I know this is a thread for "X-Men: The Last Stand" but I have to give a side note to the guy who said "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" was a load of c**p that didnt make any sense. Dont judge it to harsh because its only half of a movie, you have to see the third one because the story is not finished. things that seem pointless could end up being the most important part of the triolgy. just wait and see, I'm right. people who hated Part 2 will look back and say "o so thats why that happened" and have a new appreciation for it. Ok go back to X-Men talk now!

Well I guess I can settle for a Dolby Digital EX track. The artwork sucks for the single edition though. Much rather ahve the CE but don't think I want to pay an extra $10 for cool cover art and a comic book.

Um, no. And that made no sense. I judge a movie individually based on it's writing, direction and acting. Are you telling me "Exorcist II" was good until we saw "III"? Or "The Matrix Reloaded" couldn't be judged until we saw "Revolutions"?? For me, and this is my opinion, "POTC2" was a mess. The pacing was no where near as brisk as the first. In fact it dragged so much, I kept looking at my watch. I also didn't find Depp's Jack Sparrow as entertaining or charming as I did in the first film. I thought the special effects (although great) were too much. I just didn't find the movie fun or interesting on any level.
But back to "X-Men 3", to keep it on topic, I would love to see Singer back on board with the spin off series one day. In addition to a Superman sequel (or two).

I would replace Pirates 2 with Superman. POTC was just as bad as X3 but more fun... and it was funnier.

This movie was just plain bad. It had a good start but fell apart at the halfway point. I blame the studio not Ratner or the writers.
Is it going to have Xmen or Xmen 1.5 in the Trilogy set?

I think the cover looks better now that I can see it better. I just wish they didn't change the trilogy box so much, becuase it looked a bit better before. The CE art takes the crown though. I hope the eventual 2-Disc art is good.
I totally agree with you. Save for Lex Luthor, I thought Superman Returns was awesome. and for some reason, I liked Fantastic Four. Now,before anyone chewsmy head off, I'mnot a huge Fantastic Four fan, and I knowthat the movie screwed a lot of things up, but for some reason I enjoyed it. However, it didn't hold up aswell on repeat viewings, but still not as bad as X3.
