Huh. So, they had a bunch of those butt-ugly covers left over. I like the '06 covers MUCH better.

 

 I find them both to be unbearably unattractive, but I guess the '06s look a little better. I haven't seen the '04 cover for quite sometime, but they mesh better with the prequel covers don't they?

 

I'm one of the few who actually likes the '06 covers, so I agree with Mielr.  Then again, I didn't hate the '04 covers, but I prefer the '06 covers.  I was actually quite fond of the idea of remaking the movie posters with the live actors.  I thought that was pretty cool, especially since the original posters are on the back.  In comparison, the '04 covers seem pretty empty, and the backs were just atrocious.  A landscape from the movie was the background, and that was okay, but the only screencap they have is a picture of the damned menu!  Who gives a rat's ass?!  I don't know if I've ever seen a movie that promoted its DVD release by using an image of the menu!  I'm exaggerating.  It doesn't really piss me off, but I have always found that rather odd.  And, yes, the front cover does sorta mesh with the prequel covers, except that while the prequels used a collection of the main characters, the '04 covers just seemed to use any combination of characters.  That doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, because the '97 posters did the same thing and turned out alright, but it is kinda weird.
