Rating: 4.0
Ignore the Chicken Littles. Though not perfect it is still better than any other release to date!
I am amazed at the revolt that I am witnessing here. It feels like a health care town hall meeting! I have never seen so many redundant reviews of the same movie, most of them from people who do not even own the blu-ray and are commenting based upon screen shots and others opinions. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is all an organized attempt to get Paramount to re-release this with a better print. Well... good luck with that.For me, this is not the best looking blu-ray out there, and a classic like this does deserve a better treatment. But it is the finest looking print of this movie. It is beautiful for the most part and whether you can see 11,000 arrows or 10,000 is irrelevant! Now I realize some of you are more perfectionists than I am and have wall sized screens that will show the flaws more than mine. But to label this some kind of travesty is laughable at best.If you love this movie then you will love this blu-ray. The complaints about the sound are unwarranted. It is the fullest sound I have heard and surpasses the mix of the original DVD. Again, that is my OPINION, so do not flail me over this.The disc comes with a $10.00 rebate if you own the DVD, so it is hardly a gamble to purchase the movie. Again, if you love the movie, it is time to buy it. If it gets re-released, then buy it again! If you are more interested in wailing against a less than perfect print, then let it go and find something else to complain about.
