No, but if you have a UK version, don't compare it with a US version because you will be disappointed with your UK once you have heard the US version.

QUOTE(Sd-RawK-Cab25 @ Nov 23 2008, 01:25 PM) *yawn* the slowest blu-week for me. That's good for me....jimat duit...the last couple of months have been crazy with BD purchases and that has really drained my cash....now going through domestic recession...turmoil! after TDK, i think everybody dunno what else to buy/look forward to already. I guess my last BD will be TDK...also gives me a chance to watch some of the BD which I have bought over the last couple of months! |

QUOTE(Blastomuss @ Nov 24 2008, 09:05 PM) Is it good? Not my type of movie. . . Just finished Dogma this afternoon. Boring. . . Din watched most of the time instead, the movie watched me. My wifey liked it very much. So I'm buying it for her. It's probably a bit too goody-goody for me! The only real action in this movie is the singing and dancing around! Imagine Pierce Brosnan with his Bond (or Blonde) moves! I think it's like the typical Hindi movie...dancing & running up a hill, running around trees, etc. Something along that line.

Having to watch it earlier at a premium price? Doesn't make sense to me. After all, watching it 2-3 weeks earlier doesn't really increase the satisfaction level.

Just previewed Kung Fu Panda...the PQ and AQ can only be described in one word - AWESOME!!! (Tun Mega - you're right!)
Not to mention, it's damn funny as well. Heard the Canto version is even funnier! This post has been edited by horray: Nov 25 2008, 10:51 PM |

Just got Mamma Mia today from Amazon UK! Previewed for the first few minutes - AQ is really good (DTS HD MA). I saw some of it on DVD (ahem! one) and the sound was like really bad and I didn't like the movie. But now on BD, that's an entirely different experience.
Maybe I will enjoy this movie after all! |

QUOTE(Sd-RawK-Cab25 @ Nov 27 2008, 11:48 PM) okay, just finished watching TDK, so here's my review: How come you get first?Movie: This one should be simple enough. For those who have seen this at the movies, it's a no brainer. I still say this is one of the best (if not the ONLY) adaptation of a comic book hero. Basically, it's Batman if it happens in our REAL world. And it don't come any real than the world envisioned by Nolan. The story in TDK is much stronger as a follow up to Batman Begins, and it has Batman's No. 1 enemy in it, which also turned out to be the BEST character played by the late Heath Ledger, and hands-down the BEST representation of The Joker since Cesar Romero and Jack Nicholson. This isn't your Fantastic Four-like adaptation. No, no...it's a god-damn crime thriller on its own. Rating: 6/5...although it's not logical, but hell...it's just a bloody good movie PQ: With great story reputation, comes great PQ. Warner delivers TDK with the exact PQ which was expected. I know it may be unfair to compare the PQ to the one in the cinema, but I must say...watching TDK on Blu does really make a BIG difference. The colors are never subdued OR oversaturated. As TDK has different tones (orange-brown for the night scenes and bluish for the Gotham day scenes), it all just pops out nicely. I really can't comment more on the PQ as it's just as good as any current blockbuster blu-ray title. It's clean, crisp and hell...even the yellow in Joker's teeth is clear. It just makes his teeth closer to your face. You can practically imagine the smell that comes with it. One thing to note, as some of us are aware, TDK will have shifting ratios. Particularly for the IMAX scenes. It really doesn't take you out of the movie flow (which I thought will happen), and true enough..whenever the IMAX scenes play...you get that feeling of the large screen. I love it that the whole Joker truck flip scene is in IMAX format, as is with all the cityscape shots. Overall, 5/5. AQ: Dolby TrueHD. Same as Batman Begins? Not really. It's better this time around. You probably won't get to enjoy the fullness of the bass thumps at the beginning, but towards the middle part of the movie till the end...each explosion, crash, gunshot, punch, kick just thumps with awesome intensity. The earlier part, where there's a lot of dialogue happening, you may not hear the impact of the lossless audio. They somehow didn't use much of the surrounds throughout the movie, but there are occasional enveloping sounds. However, 99% of the time, dialogue is crisp and clear. The haunting soundtrack is played clearly on the fronts, and it really heightens the emotions in the movie. Only one thing to note: TDK is also set the same as other Warner titles - movie starts automatically and the default audio is Dolby Digital. So you need to set it to Dolby TrueHD at the start of the movie. Other than that, it's awesome. 5/5. I haven't checked the supplements, but i'm sure it's going to be awesome as well. A must-buy, no-brainer!! |
