5.0 out of 5 stars Walk The Line - Extended Cut, March 25, 2008

By	Wayne Minge (Tennessee) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

On March 25th, 2008, Fox Home Entertainment released Walk The Line 2-Disc Extended Cut. The DVD features the following...

Disc 1:

Extended Cut (153 mins.)
Audio Commentary by James Mangold

Disc 2:

Eight Extended Musical Sequences
More Men in Black: Deleted Scenes
Becoming Cash / Becoming Carter featurette
Sun Records & The Johnny Cash Sound featurette
The Cash Legacy featurette
Folsom: Cash & the Comeback featurette
Ring of Fire: The Passion of Johnny & June featurette
Cash and his Faith featurette
Celebrating the Man in Black: The Making of Walk the Line featurette
Walk the Line Theatrical Trailer

As for what is actually new about the Extended Cut, most of the new material is spread throughout. The new scenes range from a few seconds to a minute or two.

The Extended Cut is presented in it's original aspect ratio, 2.39:1. As with most Extended/Director's Cuts, a fullscreen version isn't offered.

Now for the special features, you get quite a helping on this release. They range from featurettes about the movies production such as the music, casting...etc.

Unless you really enjoyed Walk The Line, I seriouslly doubt you will double or even triple dip for this release. But if you really enjoyed it then an upgrade is warranted.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie - This version should have been released earlier., April 6, 2008

By	William Lynd "lynd8" (Poestenkill, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Even if you are not a die-hard fan of Johnny Cash, you will likely enjoy this movie. His life truly warranted a big screen treatment! The music is terrific and Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon give spellbinding performances. This really is a 5 star movie but I am deducting one star as 20th Century Fox is basically performing a bit of a "gouging" of the customer here, because anyone that enjoyed this DVD enough to own it probably bought it last year in one of the earlier formats. Funny enough, upon the initial DVD release, there were two versions - the basic, and a "collectors" version with all the great extras. Now, only one year later the "collectors" version is made useless with this new "extended cut" but has many of the same extras. This should have been released last year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very pleased with this extended version, July 14, 2008

By	CLG "Carrie Greenwald" (South Dakota) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

First I have to state that both Witherspoon and Phoenix really captured the essence of the two real life characters. I was also impressed by their ability to pull off doing their own music. The extended sequences, musical scenes, and all the featurettes really fleshed out the Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash's early days. Their story brought out by the strong acting abilities of the cast and shows how love can develop and, if you know the rest of their story, last. Quite rare these days. So BRAVO for this excellent film...plus the soundtrack that goes with it.
