OVERALL: Draw
– The French edition has the two versions of the movie, but hardly any extras (except if you get the Fnac exclusive edition) and isn't English friendy.
– The Korean edition has the Director's cut of the movie, with English subtitles, and probably the best extras (detailed list to be confirmed), all of which are not English-friendly.
– The UK and German edition have the Theatrical version of the movie and both have exclusive extras of their own. The German edition is not English-friendly.
– The US release has an exclusive commentary.
