Yeah, I was disapointed, no Redfields, no Leon, etc. But I need that 2 disc DVD, with the alternate ending, the extended gore scenes, and lots more.

You're insane, dude. Those games are genius! It's like a controllable B-Movie.

Im fan of the games, but I really don't like the movie. One of the reasons is the lack of gore, If the DVD would have all the stuff edited out from the horrible Theater cut, It might be worth buing.

One of the extras on the 2 disc is the extended gore scenes, like showing what happened to Kaplan when the Licker threw him from the train. More scenes with people getting killed when the Red Queen took over.

I'm pretty sure there's more commentaries, aside from the single on the American issued DVD.

Even with real names online petitions hold very little value.

One disc was bad enough...why bother with 2?

Thank God I downloaded it first without having to waste a single penny on it...my mom on the other hand made the mistake of spending money to rent it.

The same reason every other movie bothers with 2 or 3, or 4 discs. To try and make it better, and make more money. Most of the people in this forum spent money on both versions of Lord Of The Rings, it's pretty much the same idea, just a different addiction.

If you mean 28 days later, It's ok movie and resebles Romero's movies a lot, but I don't consider it a Zombie movie. The "Zombies" in it are alive, just infected with that Virus wich makes them mad and violent.

It's sort of a re-imagining of the zombie concept, really. I thought the movie was bloody excellent, though. More of a survival film than a monster one, which I really appreciated.

Yes, it' a good movie with good characters and actors. I've heard rumors that Romero might be making a 4th part for his Dead saga. I really hope thats true.

I don't buy a DVD for all those useless extra features, I buy it for the movie. The only extra features I ever watch are the trailers/TV spots (those are pretty damn cool in themselves) and the deleted scenes, if applicable. Other than that, all those "special" features arent' special and just a waste of space. The only reason I happen to buy those Special Editions from time to time is because those are the only ones being sold at the time.

Booyaka, and good night.

There's a vast difference between the two versions. Two-disc set beholds the theatrical version, which clocks in around three hours, the extended four-disc set has the three and a half hour version. SFX/CGI were added along with new peices of scoring by Howard Shore just for the DVD man. That's also not mentioning that the Special Features are vastly different from each other. (Extended is extremely in-depth, the other is a somewhat shallow promotional-type thing.)

Resident Evil was.....okay at best. They messed too much with the storyline for it to make sense. There were only two Umbrella Faculties in Raccoon City, not three. And Matt from the movie is NOT the Nemesis from the games. Nemesis started out as a virus (Not the T-Virus which is what the Licker carries.) that has been in development for many years. (Hence how you get Lisa in the REmake.)

The alternate ending is very stupid. It's basically a rip-off of the Lobby Scene from the Matrix. (Alice survives the Raccoon City incident, goes to an Umbrella Faculty elsewhere, goes through a metal detector, guard asks her if he can help her, she takes out gun, they do the same, the end. :roll: )

But....but.......extended gore! SOMEONE THINK OF THE GORE! I'm sorry if I wanna see Kaplan explode from impact on the wall outside the damn train, but I just think it needs to be shown!

Errrr....okay...?
I'm more interested in the extended character development (I mean, you hardly get to hear the characters names. Hell, you never find out Alice's name unless you watch the credits.), but extended gore is alright. (The RE movie will never be able to be compared to the real classic Zombie films such as Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead. :D )
