Captain America was the highlight of the sumemr movie season for me and I can't wait to buy the DVD. I'm not into the whole BluRay experience or all of the extras on DVDs. The only thing I care about is the movie itself and I usually take a look at the deleted scenes. I could really care less about the extras.
I get annoyed by the Blu-Ray/DVD/Didgital Copy. If I have a blu-ray player then why the heck would I want a standard DVD copy?
Sooo, I take that nice little cardboard slip cover they put on the case, cut and tape it together and give the standard copy away. (I guess my friends dont mind.)
I bought a 1080 P TV, Blu Ray player, and HDMI cable last weekend so I can watch the STAR WARS SAGA I bought with it. NOW I can't wait to start my BLU RAY Collection and watch every documentary on how they made this film! :D
Other then the 3-D crap version offered, this looks like a great movie to own.
