Have any of you guys heard of this? Is it any good?
I know I've given this thing a lot of shit, but I'm reading a lot of reviews that DC/WB changed a lot from the graphic novel for no discernable reason. Can anyone confirm/deny?
The CG sequel to that other CG Resident Evil direct-to-DVD movie. Starring Leon Kennedy and Ada Wong, for whatever that's worth.
Includes the awesome episodes with Beta Ray Bill, Power Man and Iron Fist and the Guardians of the Galaxy, among others.
All six movies on two Blu-rays. See a small child put in constant, intense danger in the HD it deserves!
Our 32nd president fights Nazi werewolves in his weapons-laden wheelchair. Go watch the trailer here, then watch the movie. Honestly, if it weren't for Avengers, this would be the best DVD released today.
I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but if you're only going to watch one of these werewolf movies, you want to watch the one where the old man with polio fights them and not the young, hot strippers.
On Blu-ray. More like "the complete series" but oh well. The second s1 DVD volume also comes out today.
Topless Roboteer John Kent produced this horror about flick about a retired police detective who investigates a couple of disappearances in a small town where... well, as you can probably guess, it doesn't go well. Check it out, won't you?

Avengers, DKR, AND Lone Wolf and Cub (I've only got two of those)? I cannot afford them all.
I bought Lone Wolf and Cub (Blu-ray), Gamera The Brave (Blu-Ray) and Daimajin Trilogy(Blu-ray) It was an all-Japanese purchase that day 2 weeks ago. I had Avengers Pre-ordered since the day it was announced and of course I don't get my 'briefcase' with the cube.
Amazon tells me that my Dark Knight Blu-ray will arrive on the 27th. Why?
Avengers arrived today! Yes! I Just downloaded the soundtrack with the code included with the 3D Blu-Ray edition. Sad, they had to 'stack' the discs in the 4 disc set. (2 + 2). Couldn't afford a 4 disc case?
I really enjoyed the nerd-fest that is Avengers. I will be watching it Friday Night in the Batcave.
(seriously, that's what I call my basement)
A-
DAMN! I just got an e-mailed update that Gamera The Brave (Blu-Ray) is delayed until NOVEMBER 7th!
Wow, who at WBs decided to release The Dark Knight the same day as Avengers? Best Buy was Marvel city. There wasn't even room for TDK in the new release section.

Quick note on Avengers Blu-Ray, after months of hyping, the deleted scene of Cap meeting a now-aged Peggy Carter isn't on the set, instead they're saving it to be put into the Cap sequel. Sounds good but still would have liked to see it.
" Avengers: Have any of you guys heard of this? Is it any good?"
I seriously just LOLed for real when I read that, I <3 @ToplessRobot

OK I just finished DKR. It is fantastic, just amazing. There are very few liberties from the book. Weller's acting was good I thought it fit. It was probably the best of the DC animated and I am not happy that I have to wait until the Spring for part 2.
DC needs to just quit making live action movies. Put that money in the animated movies make them full length with a regular cast and put them out in theaters. DC heroes just work better on cartoon I think, it is really hard to show full power Superman in a movie, but animated you can and DKR shows that animation can show some brutal fights where you honestly are just cheering for them to win.
Honestly go buy DKR, it is worth it.

I believe Marvel's The Avengers is the sequel to the "awesome, fantastic, super-dope-deaf, and even outrageous" film The Avengers starring Uma Thurman and Ralph Fiennes. Mmm, Ms. Emma Peel, you look scrumdiddlyumptious. And it seems you will use that same character portrayal when you take on Poison Ivy in the Batman movie in the years ahead.
As I told Lady Freeze before I pulled her plug, this [strikes pose] is a one-woman show!

I am now very interested in seeing a police procedural starring Schwarzenegger's Mr. Freeze and Thurman's Poison Ivy.
Also, that big Bond 50th anniversary set, all 22 films (half of which coming to Blu-Ray for the first time), 120 hours of bonus stuff and extra disc. Not bad but not sure I want to spring for "Man With the Golden Gun" or "World is Not Enough."
Does anyone know if it included a digital copy too? It didn't say so, and they usually do.
For those interested, Target has the BD+DVD Combo pack for the same price as Amazon ($20) but it also includes a Target exclusive disc with 90 min of footage called "Building A Cinematic Universe." I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but I'll take 90 more minutes of Avengers any day.

I have to agree wholeheartedly with @TheNormalMan . TDKR: Part 1 was well done. While Peter Weller's voice in the previews do tend to sound monotone, that is because they are out of context. In the movie, his voice works very well because it captures Bruce's weariness and emptiness in his old age. It may not have been the gravel that all of us wanted from a Clint Eastwood-esque voice, but it works very well. As for plot, it was extremely faithful. There are tweaks, to be sure; that will happen with any adaptation, because you want it to be faithful to the source material. but also make for a good movie.. I think the movie would have suffered if it was TOO literal (case in point - "Batman: Year One"). I think my favorite aspect of the movie was that they did retain most, if not all, of the tv interviews, which I was scared they would remove for pace and time constraints.
Long story short, watch it. It's good. And the ending really got me psyched for the thought of Part 2.

Not sure what reviews you're reading, but all the ones I've read say DKR is very faithful: http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/09/21/batman-the-dark-knight-returns-part-1-video-review#.UF03GaI_XgM.facebook

http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117948366?refcatid=31The most noted change is that a lot of inner monologue is taken out. The voice overs in "Batman: Year One" really didn't work, so I dont blame them for working them into the dialogue or omitting them from DKR.
We picked up 'The Avengers' this morning and got a free Captain America bobble head with it. Yay!

What reviews are you readin, Rob? I watched TDKR this morning and other than the narrations (which, honestly, many were incorporated into dialogue anyway) the movie is pretty faithful in it's execution. Nothing more than what you would usually expect to change when going from comic to screen. All the reviews I've read have been realy favorable, and I have to agree!

Definitely looking forward to Damnation. I enjoyed Degeneration a lot actually. But it'll have to wait. I've just got enough to get 6 next week, and games come before DVDs.
Beware the Lone Wolf boxed set: apparently they DNR-ed it. Too bad, too, because I was SO loking forward to it :/

TDKR? I thought it was pretty good. Although I don't think Peter Weller's voice fit Batman. Clint Eastwood would have been my dream choice. There were a few changes from the graphic novel. Some of the violence was toned down (obviously) The biggest let down for me was the lack of character narrations. A lot of great stuff got left out because of no inner thoughts.
