Plainview, am I right in saying you've already confirmed that this UK version also has the censored blade scene??

So it's not just the German release then

Yeah confirmed watched the scene twice and in slow mo, there's no blade. Although I'm 99% sure the version I saw in the cinema did include the blade

how many of these did hmv have on the shelves

Plenty of them more than they had of hunger games. 19.99 is a decent price as well.

agreed, i ordered online which worked out at €19.45 with a 20% discount, didnt think it would be that cheap instore, if i get a damage copy ill be buying one instore and returning the other copy to the store instead of online

I think it's a bit expensive for a bare bones, one disc version of the film. For €24.99 I got the 3 disc 3D version from Amazon.de. (an extra fiver)

Much better value IMO.

So the UK version of the film is altered as well......

Looks like the France and Italy versions will be quite rare now....

True I only got it because of the delay with the phase one US boxset, that I pre-ordered back in may. Didnt want to pay to much for it this time around.

the UK version is cut according to members from AVF and BR

Pretty disappointed with this must say but never mind, won't ruin the film for me. Does mean that I'll sell this version now though and pick up the German release, think its worth the extra few £ for 2 extra discs...

I'm starting to really dislike HMV now. What on earth were they thinking butchering this release so badly?

Tossers.

Do you think it's HMV that censored the movie?

 

[blu-steel]

Its not sold out yet!!!

 

[CaptainCoffee]

No it was the BBFC, right? I'm just venting my frustration is all.

Don't look to far into it.

That's what I thought he was implying Quite ridiculous as I thought everyone knew that it's the BBFC who classify / rate films & not HMV.

 

[plainview]

It's not that big a problem that it's a bare bones edition it's a nice looking steel, and no doubt that in 6 months they will release a bigger edition with like four discs packed with special features. Marvel will milk this release for all it's worth.

 

[CaptainCoffee]

I'm correct in assuming that HMV chose to go with 1 disc and zero extras though. So they are still dicks whichever way you look at it.

HMV can't censor a release, it's the idiots at Disney

The BBFC didn't censor the disc, they report no cuts/alterations

If it was given to them as already cut by Disney they would report any cuts - but how could they, they only rate what they are given.

 

[CaptainCoffee]

Well I'm not surprised then. Years of spouting out **** like Cinderella and they think that the world is full of overly sensitive 10 year olds. Morons.

Hmm ... so does this mean that every dvd / Blu Ray release of this film is 'censored' then ?. Even the U.S release ?.
