-- Hellboy *SVCD* - TELESYNC - Centropy (http://www.vcdhq.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=38935)

Below their standard of telesyncs, but a pretty good release, colours are a little off

video is good, sound is about the same

7/7/X

after watching the entire release, the video source CAN NOT be the same. It might still be a CAM, but if you adjust the sound on your computer a little bit, the hiss seems to go away ... for the most part anyways.

I've watched the MPT copy, the HafVCD copy and the BAHA copy ... you can't clean the video source up that much, no matter what group you encode for. No matter how good you are. This is a different source of video ... if I'm wrong, prove it ... I wanna see stills

7/7/6.25

7/6/7. It is great to see you guys still releasing vcd. Not a usual CTP but good enough. Movie wasn't the greatest

How about we all forget who released this and lets get on with how it looks and sounds. To be honest, I could care less if my gradmother made this with a damned cameraphone, this is still the best release of this movie to date.

Is there a hiss? Sure, but not unbearable like other releases.

Is it the same source? Who gives a shit if it's an improvement?

My guess is that this is the best this movies gonna get until screener or dvd, so if something about this release is pissing you off, then get your lazy ass up, clear the damned cobwebs out of your wallet and pay to see it in the theater.

Now, as for the release:

video 8
audio 7
movie 8

7/7/3 (i really can't stand this movie)

i see some of the insults here, and i laugh...this isnt what its for. anyhow..the rls looks about the same video wise as the rest, and thats not from samples, thats from viewing pleasure...audio is better, reminds me of scorpion king ctp rls...for all you OH SO FAN CLUB members. anyhow....the movie is dope but corny, mainly cause of the comic book bantor. if anyone was a fan of the comic and knew of the great length the author went to, in order to make sure the story wasnt jolted too much in the movie, would enjoy it...if not, then you would see it like most people saw LXG, aka Disney's X-men....but thats all opinion, not review really, some fact....now to what people go on this site for, reviews..not flames..if you want those, check in your panties...

audio: 5 ( the hiss is more of a washing machine effect at
certain parts, like a hypnotic trance effect..not through
whole movie, but enough )
video: 8 ( they took out the converted fps lag, cleaned, cropped,
same source ? who cares, im sure everyone can get the
silver, look at all the grps who rlsed it, and furthermore,
realize grps might have same video, but can acquire
better audio sources, shit look at videocd)
movie: 7 movie was good, the bantor made me laugh,
somewhate corny, but who cares its a movie not real
life, stop looking to movies to escapre your shitty lives,
just be entertained, and enjoy it...shit did you pay for
it ? prolly not, if you do, then sucks that you didnt like it,
maybe you should have waited till your friend saw it and
told you what was up..

no sense in bitching and complaining where a source comes from or who stole from you, cause its NOT you who is stealing, its NOT you who is rlsing, and if it is, you are a loser....people can shop at the same flea markets, pay off the same suppliers, etc...this shit happens, thank goodness its free...only thing grps get out of this is your respect, and if you dont want to give it, no one wants to hear you..pz

best release so far
7.5/6.5/8

I don't care if this is Centropy or fuckin Old Mother Hubbard. Check the sample again. Shame on you Centropy, this is the exact same source as the other 90 jillion releases before it, just run through a few filters, yadda yadda yadda.

The same flicker is there. The same (albiet reduced) hiss in the audio. On a side note though, whats with that fruity C3PO thing? This movie looks smelly.

Shame on you! Shame. On. YOU!

-infinity/-infinity

I alwayz look forward to CTP releasez, but this is below they're norm. Best release so far, but still lacking.......

7/7/?

anyway, this is ok. to my eyes, the angle says its a different source, but hey, i may be wrong. thats the great thing about not being a stuck up asshole like most who post here. i can appreciate when ANY group does ANYTHING for the scene.

best of the releases. thx ctp and mpt. for decent svcd telesyncs..
ctp is definitely from a different source and more vibrant. And whats this about a hiss. I'm not hearing one. Maybe some of us don't really have this release. The sound is fine to me.

Don't look forward to anymore releases, this just might be the final one until a screener or dvdrip.

8/8/?

video is good for a ts in general, but a little below ctp standard...audio is quite ok, but not as good as i expected from centropy.

and then there's this whole fuzz about same source and shit...but why not make it a PROPER??? just to get rid of the bullshit...

anyway, thanks all grps out there, without you we would pay several bucks each year just to find out if junk really is junk...

7/6/X

Not that much better than other releases of this film.

6/6/7

__________________

This shouldn't be voted higher than a 6. Very average at best. Audio sucks with hiss, I don't care how low it is, thats inexcusable.

6/5/4

Dunno what all the fuss is about, this is definately watchable. Maybe slightly too much colour/saturation but I'm colour blind so what would I know? Audio is decent enough, yes it's got a hiss but nothing that will annoy you for longer than the first 5 minutes.

Not bad, not bad at all: 7/6/dunno

:: Edit - Just finished watching it. Decent enough flick I suppose, basically another superhero movie. It had some fairly funny parts, the humor is fairly dry throughout and Hellboy himself has some good one-liners. The film also boasts some decent CGI, it's a pity the same can't be said about the Animatronix, which are generally poor throughout the movie. The plot is basic to say the least but it's a fun movie I suppose... Oh, and I was right about the audio not spoiling it. Towards the end "something" seems to obscure the very bottom portion of the screen and doesn't budge but it's no biggie.

Overall: 7/6/6

I liked the release, but not he movie. Vid was good on my 27'' tv and I realy didnt notice the hiss. Must be my old age . didnt like the movie , all the good parts were in the trailers. I hate when they do that!

7/7/5

i totally disagree.. this release is amazing.. 9/8/4

Video is clear and has color.. audio is clear as well.. i read someone said there's a hiss.. I AGREE in the beginning when the title screen starts.. but once you're in the movie, you don't hear the hissing anymore.. yes, it may exist in the background, but it's not a loud hissing where it ruins the movie.. you barely even hear it, even with the volume turned all the way up...
I thought movie would be good, but too much talking and not enough action.

Vertrif

this is a decent ts.....8/8/9.........
but it is a ts....you can't expect dvd quality from a cam with direct audio and you can't compare a ts to a dvd rip......for a ts it is good.......most likely the hiss is from the audio source where it was filmed

This movie just didn't excite me... Anyway, i made the mistake of bothering to watch the far worse HafVCD rls a day to early However, nice to see CTP back in the TS SVCD scene, that VideoCD has been so dominant in.. Its not the worst, nor is it the best from our friends at CTP, but like a said b4, its a 100x better IMOP than the crappy cam jobs as of late.. The sound has slight his but almost unnoticable in this rls. And the Pic is a lil Dark, but easier to see and movie is dark to begin with.. I just didn't find this movie very exciting... Good SVCD TS welcome back CTP Thanx, but i'm good till screener at least on this movie...


7/7/5

Mystic Slippers is just being picky, this is a nice release.

The picture is better and clearer (though it's still quite dark) than the other releases. Sound is nice and you can bearly hear the hiss anymore.

Movie still rocks big time

7/7/10
