Good to hear you enjoyed it more each time. That happened with MIB3 for me as well.

Well said. 4.5 is a great 3D score.

I feel the same way about the visual quality of 3D blu ray. They look awesome in 3D and when switched to 2D on the 3D disc, for all of the blu ray 3D's I've seen so far. But maybe they're looking for tiny things most people overlook with artifacts, etc.

I really enjoyed the theatrical version, and at 2 h 54 minutes, feel the story is fleshed out enough without the need for extended dialog or scenes, so I'll buy this version tomorrow, glad to have it so early.
"Controversy" over releasing two versions at two different times:
Some have suggested online that it's a crime to release a theatrical version, and then later an extended version, but not everyone wants an extended version. I actually prefer the Lord of the Rings theatrical versions compactness, but did welcome the Mouth of Sauron scene, as brief as it was in Return.
I'd say the distributor releases the extended version later, since it takes longer to prepare and they're probably waiting for Jackson to complete a lot of the extras. I could understand it was already completed for the original trilogy when being introduced to Blu Ray, but in this case, it's still being prepared. Thoughts?
Can't wait to check this one out again.
