Yes, I did. And people calling the audio "hollow" must be deaf or something because its nothing but distorted.

Just watched the whole thing. Oversaturated video, a couple of mins are missing in the middle and the audio is loud, distorted, tinny and scratchy as hell.

I wouldn't take this release, but bah i couldn't be arsed getting another. Just watched the whol movie, and to be honest it was pretty poor. Dull and predictable and Carrey's humour is bland and same as always. A couple of scenes did make me laugh though.

6/3/5

hmmm......just finished watching this flick, it was a good movie i would say. The only annoying thing is the music, there is none! Quality isn't that bad, very good for a TS. 6/6/6

I liked the sample, video is very watchable and sound is a little scratchy, but it's alright.

6/4/7.5

Klonin's right. There is something up with the soundtrack on this release. Theres at least 3 times when there is no music when there should be:

1: When everyones favourite bit from the trailer, 'I Got The Power', takes place, the damn song is missing. It just looks like Jim Carrey is miming to himself.
2: Theres a scene where people are dancing in a mansion. Jim/Bruce then joins them for a few seconds... Only problem being that there is no music...
3: Just before Jim/Bruce does the 'Moon Trick', he asks 'Barry' to give him a hand and turns on his HIFI, only problem being that no music plays...

The cut from cd 1 to 2 is far from perfect, theres definately a minute or two missing there. But its not exactly an important scene and you can fill in the gaps yourself. The audio from the sample is alot better than the full release. The audio is scratchy, where as on the sample its pretty clear, but hollow.

6/5/8

I just got this and thought the movie was funny. Nothing great but it made me laugh.

Video quality is exactly what i expected, for it being a TS. The sound is horrible... very distorted. It was hard to understand the deeper voices like Morgan Freeman's. After going back and listening to what he said, several times, I still can't make it out.

The soundtrack appeared to be missing

But beggars can't be choosers. I wanted to see this movie and I'm not upset I got the TS.

8/3/?

Just got back from the theater to see this one its definatly a workprint as described above (music missing),besides the video quality is just ass in this release ,choppy framerate as well, Skip this release.

just sat down to watch this movie and i turned it off. Video is basically fine but audio was too scratchy/distorted/overdriven i had to pay way too close attention to hear well, it was really annoying me. I will bin these discs and wait for a better release.

6/4/?

i was wondring why there where sound missing in the movie when i watched " I GOT THE POWER " was not there lol . Sound is bad sounds like alot of background distorsion. had to listen close to hear it and had to not turn it up too loud either b/c the distorsion. video is watchable but could be way better .

and a little bit of a scence is missing between the split.other then that the movie is good jim carrey is always funny .


vote,

5/3/6

Picture reminded me of a 70's flick. Audio was hard to understand at times....Not a very good rls.
nice try though

4/5/7

this release is watchable, audio is ok - didn't want to wait for another release.

5.5/5/6

I watched a little bit of the second CD this morning before heading to work. I would have to say that this is a very watchable release. Much like others have said, it reminds them of 70's flicks where no music is in the background. However, the video is clear enough you can see Jim Carrey's funny facial expression's and the audio is clear enough to understand what they are saying at all times.

It may not have the same 'feel' as being in a theater with surround sound. But a good release IMO.

7/7/?

picture is watchable

sound scratchy a bit muffled

approx halfway a split second bright over burn

film very funny at times

6/5/7

Well so far I have only seen the first disc, will have the second disc finshed in a little while . But I am quite suprised by the quality the video wasn't too bright and was quite blurry and the sound was horribile! ( Note : I have had a problem once were the sound was bad, then after I fixed something it was perfectly normal, so the sound might actually be good I will have to recheck it.)
Anyways for now these are the ratings I am giving it after seeing the first part I will come back and edit it once I have seen the whole thing
Video - 4
Sound - 3
Movie - N/A

*EDIT* I just watched the second part of the movie and the quality was horribile. It was very noticeable that a few minutes of it were missing it was the part were she is asking Bruce if her boobs have gotten bigger. I have to say I was quite impressed with the picture it wasn't that bad on this disc. But the sound was as bad as normal very hard to hear and so loud at times with type's of static. Then near the end of the film a few times some green thing flashes across the screen which I think froze the frame or something and then after that for about the last 15 minutes of the movie the talking is way out for example the audio is about 5-8 secs out of video so that is very noticeable and irritating.
Disc 2 Rating
Video - 6
Sound - 3
Movie - 2 (Maybe it was because of the sound but this is certainely no where near Jim Carreys best except for that anchor scene I didn't really laugh at this movie.)

So overall it's a pretty bad release and I don't know why this was label a TS it looks more like a workprint because this doesn't look to me like the final cut. For example music is missing from pactuilar scenecs and when Bruce and his boss are talking a huge light comes out of nowhere! I think this is a late workprint and the release isn't worth downloading. Download one of the newer release because I am sure they are much better than this.
