Panda was a cute movie with some beast action scenes. But it was so cliched that I couldn’t give it no more or less than a 6.5. Even if it’s better those horrible films like Bee Movie and Shrek 3 last year

Just a way for Paramount to milk an extra 5 bucks for something that should be included in the standard edition. I’ll wait till the movie hits the bargin bins.

“Anchorman” did kinda the same thing; they had enough deleted scenes to make another movie that they sold along with the DVD.

Yeah, it’s not uncommon anymore for studios to put out bonus movies with the original movie….kinda like Transformers did.

Also, 25 bucks is pretty standard for a double-disc….go to Walmart, that’s around what they retail for.

Ah wait 20 minutes, that sounds like a glorified special feature. A Pixar DVD normally has a couple of shorts a things like ‘Mike new car’, which amount to almost that long in total if you add them up, inclusive in the price.

Certainly better than sending it out way after interest in the original has died down, and the price is right. I would buy it for a film like this, a fun film or a genre movie like a martial arts movie or comething. But in the case of something like American Psycho 2 or any Jim Carrey sequel without Carrey, then 5 dollars would be too much.

as the folks on slashfilm report, the so called sequel is actually just about 20 minutes long. why on earth that could´ve been a part of some ’special features’? only buddha knows.
