Is the Watchmen Ultimate Collection being released in June worth it?
I just got the Director’s Cut on Blu-Ray today, and I’m pissed to see that they’re advertising for a better version that I wasn’t aware of.
So yeah, right now I have the two-disc Blu-Ray with the digital copy and the narrated motion comic. I plan to pick up Tales of the Black Freighter soon.
But right now, the Ultimate Collection seems to just be the three of those things. It says five-discs, which could be
1)The movie, with Tales of the Black Freighter woven in
2)Special Features with Under the Hood from Tales of the Black Freighter
3)Digital Copy
4) and 5) The motion comic (It’s two-disc)
So that’s three of the bullet points in the advertisement down.
I’ve yet to see the special features on my copy of the movie, but is it an hour and a half of content? If it is, and Under the Hood is about half an hour (or so I’ve heard), does that make up for the two hours of content?
I haven’t tried out Blu-Ray live at all yet, but it looks to me like commentary? Is it? And is it the last bullet point?
Obviously, this is all speculation, and biased, optimistic speculation at that. But is there any chance that I could be right?
The Ultimate Collection doesn’t come out until December. If you bought the Director’s cut you should have gotten a 10 dollar coupon. It’ll be worth it.
