List of Changes:

Change #1 - [/url] <newline>Extras <newline>Spread over the 2 discs, the extras are good, if not out-standing. <newline>Disc 1 includes a commentary from the director, Leterrier and Tim Roth. There are some fun and informative anecdotes to be found here (listen for the discussion regarding The Abomination’s ears and genitalia), but too often these are cut short and never followed up. The two men clearly get on well and had a good time working together, but the conversation often loses focus and this can become distracting. The commentary is subtitled (as they all should be) so there’s no need to spoil the film’s soundtrack if you don’t want to. <newline>Trailers for the 3rd Mummy movie, Iron Man and a multitude of marvel Animations round off disc 1. <newline>Disc 2 contains the meat of the extras, principally an alternate opening and 23 deleted scenes. So often it is apparent exactly why specific scenes are excised from a movie, not so in this case. The alternate opening is perhaps a little too nihilistic for the movie, but would have created an interesting starting point from which this tale could run. The remainder of the scenes appear to be have been removed for the purposes of pacing. This is a shame, as there are a good many great character beats, particularly for Ty Burrell’s character whose motives and actions within the body of the movie, whilst noble seem a little forced. All in all these are well worth a viewing, and I have found myself watching them again, on occasion when I have revisited the film. <newline>The 4 mini-docs run to nearly 80 minutes. They are easy to digest and navigate and left this viewer with the warm nostalgic feeling that even in this age of CGI-driven destruction, there is still the requirement for skilled stunt-men, technicians, model-makers and pyrotechnicians on a movie such as this to make the magic happen. <newline>The final extra is a short animated-comic sequence covering Tim Sale’s artwork from the comic that inspired a very touching moment in the movie between Betty and Hulk. This is a very nice touch. <newline>My only gripe in this package (and I’ll never tire of this one) is that there is no inclusion of the original trailers for the movie, something, I believe, should always be included in any release. <newline> <newline>[url="/default.asp?a=0000116197"][imgml=0000211364.jpg][/url] <newline> <newline>Conclusi
