6/6/?
Well the video is ok and the sound is very tiny like a cam. I've heard very bad things about the movie but im gonna give it a shot.

hm, FRA seems strange these theys...they used to be a normal group, sometimes using silvers, sometimes making own releases, but now they just steal the source...it's kinda lame

[edit]
forgot to rate the release so here it goes
5/9/?

video is watchable, but shitty...overbright and streched
audio is nice, direct, hearable, everything i expect from a TS

Looks shitty (bright and streteched)... Steal the source??? Not sure if everyone has yet not figured this out, these are asian silvers.. there is "NO STEALING A SOURCE"... they probably just buy the same ones.. Pot releases em as is.. fra takes them and puts another audio track... Neither group did any of the damn leg work.. t hey are silvers, plain and simple.

looks ok from sample, bright with good colours, and sound is perfect, a little better than pots but not much.

6/8/?

not that bad...........but not good .... .at the end of 1cd you cannot hear anything ,for the last 5 mins and its to blurry and bright ........at times but watchable...if you realy want to see it.....

but the movie is funny

6/7/9

alittle grainy but audio seemed good. This rls is good enough for me. But then again i'll watch CAMs, lol

You guys are rating way too low on these things..I watched Alexander last night, was good quality (FRA), and i just checked Kranks movie (FRA) and it may be a little bright, but otherwise its fine, sound is really good, way higher than the numbers you are posting.

I think you expect DVD quality, and to have them the first day they are out..LOL..chill out, they look good, sound good, enjoy em!

stolen omg u guys r fucking retarded what part of a silver dont u understand they are sold in nyc for 7 bucks if it wasnt for fra ude be stuck with bs audio liik at there vob sample fuckin shame how the grp has to prove they didnt steal a thing


good work fra fuck these fools there all assholes

Not as bad as their past TS's , but still not super pretty either;

Picture - you notice it during the opening titles , the picture is on a super angle with the cam almost tilted also , Picture is blurry/grainy as usual , the picture is very bright as usual , but its watchable unlike the rest.

Sound - Direct and good

At least FRA has got some sence and doing VCD TS now, this copy is watchable ...

6/8/?

nice copy.. color saturation and ratio needs to be adjusted, other than that it is a nice copy...

after further review...picture has a big slant to it..very distracting

After watching the first half of the first cd, you guys are way to picky....the video isn't blurry at all just alittle grainy and audio is pretty darn good for a TS

Steal the source??? Not sure if everyone has yet not figured this out, these are asi

Hey, I agree 100%! As I have said before, good work keep it up!
What do you guy's want for fuck all?
7/7/5
As the man say's, if you can get off ya arse, go do a cam and bring better quality to the table..bring it on!
Big Up FRA!
StUdLy
p.s I thought Alexander was more than watchable, shit film but watchable

Had to edit!! this film is total pants, ok quality but really slow and boring! Watched the whole film instead of flicking through chapters...shit!
7/7/2

nice audio and decent pic..rather the same or not..I can hear this copy and thats what matters....

Video - 6 looks same as cam.

Audio - 7 (better than pots -no doubt)

Film - ? still waiting for better rls.

Some of you guys are forgetting to rate the release.

Sound is ok
Video is good
Movie is ok for the kiddies


5/7/7

judging from sample......video looks pretty nice...good colors..a lil blurry but not bad at all...sound is very nice...movie have'nt seen yet..........as far as all this rls being stolen and all...How much did all you pay for this rls? Thats what i thought !!!Now if the quality was dead perfect i don't think anyone would be saying to much!
When it gets down to it...if the quality was good..nobody cares where it came from as long as they have there copy right !!!MAN GET OFF THERE BACK RATE THE RLS AND QUIT YOUR COMPLAINING,OTHERWISE GET IT YOURSELF WITH YOUR OWN CAM!!!
PROPS TO ALL GROUPS FOR THERE EFFORT,THE GOOD AND THE NOT SO GOOD RLSES!!

Video-6
Audio-8.5
Movie-?

7/7/na looks pretty good to me

7/8/7

Just watched on standalone

Video is fairly good. A few places where the pic seems to distort, nothing major though. Colours are pretty reasonable too.

Audio is excellent, no probs there.

Not a bad movie in all, not great but the kids will enjoy it.

Thanks for this one FRA.

btw. I find all the "stolen movie" comments quite amusing. Lets face it, all releases are stolen - I'm yet to see a movie studio release a TS of one of their movies onto the scene!!! (C'mon, where's Star Wars Episode III - WORKPRINT - Lucasfilm !!!!!)

The video is better than most are giving credit for. Yes, to me it seems to have too much color, but I rather have this than not enough. The sound is good and clear. The picture is a bit less than POTs, yet the sound wins out. Thanks guys, this is the best and only version we have. Without out you, there isn't anything thing better for Kranks or Alexander so far. This could be our only version, props to you.

V-7
A-7.5
M-7

Fantastic DTS audio again. 9.5 out of 10.

I wish I had FRA's supplier ...

Scrobble all you want, we'll make more!

this is my 2nd post in this thread, but after reviewing both pot and fra releases..they are not the same source. pots release has got people running through it like crazy, the fra release has no late comers standing in front of the camera.
anybody else notice this?

Not a bad release, CAM was enough until retail. This movie is worse than Surviving Christmas. Anyways, props on the watchable telesync FRA..keep it up.

6/8/3

Wow..some many people laking about a Stolen "Source"..If it's from the "same source" why is Fra's Angled so much more than Pot's.....I've been in the seen for about 8 years now..quality keeps get'n better all the time..Lets just be thankfull gruops still put out an effort...

Any way..Picture quality is good, with the exception of the video tilt..Audio is nice and Clear

Video = 6.5
Audio = 8.0

if video was striaghter i'd give it a higher rating..

My rating is based on a TS..not camparing it to anyother type of release.. e.g. cam,dvd rip,screener, etc...

What the fuck is wrong with the aspect ratio? It is not the angle. Didn't anyone notice the aspect ratio change in the sample????

how can you rate quality on the releases if you're only 8?
ask your dad for a spirit level and that might straighten it up lol.

Video is ok, very watchable, some flickery parts of the film, but nothing major.

Audio is really good.

Movie is fuckin shite, few scenes were funny, but just crap, it makes me sick, lol.

I wish I would of missed getting this one... lol I guess my expectations were too high for this movie....

Vid and movie sux... aud was good

*6.5
*8.0
*6.0

watched this one last night. video is a little blurry and at an angle, but watchable, sound was good. Worth a view. Not the best, by far not the worst. Even if the video was stolen!
V=7, A=9, M=7

looks ok from sample

Rating a Sample!

Wow I'm more amazed than Naughty's very bad typo session by the fact that so many people come on here and vote and give a review based on a SAMPLE! well like who want's to knwo that, we can just check the sample too, get the movie first then watch it then give comments and also to some guys on here, IT SAYS NO SPOILERS! so stop saying movies are shit because what you might not like others will make it a 7+. Gheezs.

[EDIT:: I think you've failed to grasp the concept of samples or what I mean by "spoliers" !? Samples are fine as you're meant to comment on the QUALITY of a release - a sample is adequate for that. Secondly, you can say the movie is shit, just don't fuck-up the ending for anybody! - Neversoft]

i watched it on 2 cds bin -cue file quality brill
