The widescreen version I bought came with a comic book shrik-wrapped to it
(I got it at Circuit City...the only place that seemed to have it in
widescreen, too). The movie for me was a cold-buy (I never make it to the
theaters), but I love the previous three films. I was disappointed with
Land of the Dead. It lacked whatever made the other three good films. It's
not that I hated it, I did enjoy it--but it felt more like a generic Romero
knock-off than a real Romero film. Just my opinion.
