Poor Video Transfer
This is an absolutely terrible transfer. It is ridden with edge enhancement (halos on contrasting edges) and severe noise reduction (smoothing the image to reduce film grain -- AND detail). This is so severe that film elements such as arrows and spears in the battle at the beginning are not visible. It's barely an upgrade over DVD, and simply not what a movie of this caliber deserves. It is extremely unfortunate that such an outstanding movie has been treated so poorly. Stick with the DVD and don't buy this blu-ray disc.
