Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 4.0
If you're not interested in the extended version, this is great.
I started out watching the extended version and was very disappointed in the hd picture quality. Whatever they were trying to do with this version of the movie didn't work out well. They went for extended contrast, which gives it deep blacks but no shadow detail. The film is not sharp.On the other hand, unlike the one-star aggro people on here, I thought the theatrical hd transfer was excellent. Contrast was properly set up and the movie is sharp.
