Lets see. They have given the first film uncut and with some great features. The second was has great features as well. Number 3 is done in 3-d and more than likely 2-d ala Polar Express and Journey to the Centre Of The Earth. And still complaints???
Come on. If anyone is wondering why its the first 3 its probably because the new film deals with the first 3 films.

Not uncut?
Then not interested. I don't care how much glitter they put on it. The footage is there, RESTORE THE MOVIES! Or don't even think I'm spending a dime.
And the first uncut doesn't count, really. It's been available uncut from the U.K.(!) for many years, now.

How does the uncut UK version help people who don't have Region 2 PAL, or region-free, DVD players?
At the very least, they're releasing them separately instead of bunched together in a box set. And no one's forcing them to release Part 3 in 3D, but they are, so that's commendable. Still, I've never appreciated Paramount's attitude toward their DVD releases. They've been at the back of the line since DVD's first hit the market. These films (the first four specifically) should be given to a genre comapany like Anchor Bay or Dark Sky Films. It won't guarantee better DVD covers, but it'll guarantee a better, balls deep treatment.

Points awarded for the use of the term "balls deep"!

Everyone should get points for using that term, and living their lives accordingly.
I've always loved how Warner Brothers treats their DVD releases. They seem like they actually respect the format, as opposed to Paramount. So it's no surprise that Warner Brothers distributes the uncut versions of Parts 1 AND 4 overseas. Not just in the UK, but elsewhere around the world. Australia's FRIDAY boxset, which has a similar cover to our own, contains these two versions if anyone wants to go balls deeper.

They say the trailers are re-used from 2004 release but there are no trailers on the 2004 release? What gives?

So they cheaped out on the box art... No surprise, given Paramount's treatment of these flicks.

So the sequels are not uncut, correct?
