I think it looks decent, just watched the sample.
A bit dark, audio is fine, if someone says the svcd ts by a certan group is a bit better, im not going to argue them.
Not gonna get this one tough, since i already watched one of those early cammed releases, its not that good, but watchable for those who already havent seen the movie.

7/8/4


Posted by bbmd on 02-28-2003 03:04 PM:

Counter bottom left, FOX watermark bottom right, blur along bottom of screen, very slight blur up top of screen..sound good and picture good if u don't mind watermarks and counters..nice early screener

8/8/?


Posted by Mystic Slippers on 02-28-2003 03:06 PM:

Dark and hard to watch. Serial blur and well, just.......dark. Superb audio tho!

Mad love to VCDCentral for the release as always, but i hate this movie anyways so won't grab it.

Not the greatest quality, but if you must have it, grab it.

6/8/1


Posted by zcar on 02-28-2003 03:28 PM:

You know its a shame that they labled this release wrong like they have done all the other ones. Just be honest VcdCentral. This is a Telecine.

Oh yeah beforei hit send please bahs me tell me how im wrong i dont care. Truth is im a 100% on point. ....

::watch it there champ k? -M$

telecine vote is - 7-9-7
screener vote is - 2-8-7


Posted by B18C5 on 02-28-2003 04:13 PM:

Dark release, pixelated, 2 blurs on the top, 1 blur on the right side, 2 blurs on the bottom, a watermark, a counter, and slightly too wide which makes the image a little squished. I suggest you stick with the "other" version, but sound on this release is definitely much better. Colors a bit off but not as bad as the "other" release. Screener-wise, 5/6/7


Posted by CcZ on 02-28-2003 04:49 PM:

This release looks a little grainy, but, it's definitly better than all the other releases. Sound is excellent. For what it is (a screener) i'd say it gets a 5.5/7.5/2
Did not like the movie, and also, Ben Affleck doesn't deserve what he has. He won, with Matt Damon, the oscar for best screenplay (Good Will Hunting), which was really written by William Goldman ("Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "All the Presidents Men," "The Princess Bride," upcoming movie "Dreamcatcher.") So then Affleck and Damon got all these offers for movies (they can act, just don't like how they got started in the film industry) and now, look, he has J.LO!


Posted by lucium on 02-28-2003 04:50 PM:

Just grabbed sample... looks very watchable for someone (me) who hasn't seen the movie yet... pic dark, watermarks annoying.. but sound makes up for it all... good release.


Posted by flipp0r on 02-28-2003 05:23 PM:

awesome sound quality.
yeah the timecode is there, yeah the blurred serial is there, yeah there's a watermark.
but you know, at least the blur doesnt cover the entire screen like
VCD's Recruit SCR.
horrible movie. but we've heard all that before.
a 'must' get if u 'must' see it (again?)

Posted by Bobby-Whiskey on 02-28-2003 06:52 PM:

decent release, id rather go with the um...other one, because i hate watermarks and blurs.
and meh to the comments about the movie so far. I thought it kicked ass, it's one of the few tolerable superhero movies along with the 2 Blade films.

oh wait, ben afflecks in it, so we're supposed to automatically hate it right? gotcha.


Posted by Coolieman2001 on 02-28-2003 07:24 PM:

saw this flick in the theaters and it was very dark, could barly see the fighting seens in the bar, what ever look there were thring to give it didn't work. Iam guessing thats why the screener is also was dark.


Posted by HuFFKING on 02-28-2003 07:35 PM:

Not bad but late

This is a good rip but i have already watched the centropy one which was just as good but big ups to vcdcentral on getting screeners


Posted by CcZ on 02-28-2003 07:37 PM:

Bobby Whiskey, I said nothing about hating the movie cuz Ben Affleck's in it, I said that I didn't like it. I wouldn't have liked it anyways, I thought the story was bad! I was just explaining why I don't like Ben Affleck.


Posted by MrAxe on 02-28-2003 07:53 PM:

after seeing the sample i think the SVCD.TS is the best yet released :] so i'm gonna stick with that release...
and the movie was realy cool...

5/7/9


Posted by MinisterSiniste on 02-28-2003 08:14 PM:

I also believe the CTP SVCD was better than this release. Well, at least in that there were no counters and such. The blurs were fairly small so that's not really it. Mostly the counter in the way and it was just as dark as the SVCD. Good work on bringing screeners though, Thanks foor the effort.

Posted by rappa on 02-28-2003 08:41 PM:

The whole movie is dark, not just this release, ctp's was like 5x darker then this. I couldnt even understand what was going on half of the movie unless it was daylight...the filmer's did a bad job on lighting is what i think so the whole movie is dark...7/8/4

Um ok i now just finished downloading and popped this in my dvd player. Can i say HOLY SHIT 5 serials is excessive. Pick and sound are great. If it didnt have the 5 blurs itd kick ass. 1 on top mid center, 2 on right hand side, 2 on bottom where counter is. Fox is definitely being pricks!!!!

Fox is just protecting their own..I know it sucks but hey..nothing we can do about it unfortunately.
As for the release I think I am going to stick to my blue tint overly dark ctp copy..for now..Thanks anyways for the screener VCD Central

::while your sentiment is understood, your approach is all wrong. People, comment on quality of THIS release, please. -K::

Whoops, well saw sample, 7/8/6 for a SCREENER this is pretty bad, but a screener of a new movie it's pretty good.

gotta admire such a quick screener but it is a damn shame the film's director forgot that when setting a "mood" you should at least make it so people can see everything at the same time.

Because the movie is generally dark itself, you can't really blame VCDCentral for that. FOX is a little serial happy though, but hey... it's their movie we're stealing.

Again, great job on the early screener, looks fine and sounds great!

8/8.5/8

Movie was good by the way. It was not as exciting or just "fun loving" as say Spiderman was. It was darker, but not near Batman's quality of that tone. A half-and-half between Batman and Spiderman... worth a watch.


Posted by SharkE- on 03-01-2003 12:49 AM:

I'll wait for a better realease b4 i download this vcdcentral one
4/4/10. Good job though


Posted by Jc100 on 03-01-2003 01:22 AM:

I've watched the movie now and here is a complete review. First as i said the movie contain 5 serials.. one up top, 2 right hand corner, and 2 on bottom by counter. They are intrusive in some respects but you get use to them. In addition, there are various scenes where the movie glitches in spots. Cd 2 REALLY needs a repack becuase that funeral scene has a huge one.. My dvd player froze and i had to manually pass it from starting at Beginning of CD. Go to like 2 hours 5 mins on cd 2 via your pc and you will see what i mean. As for the movie itself, It was ok but long and drawn out. I think the director OVERUSED darkshots and it made it difficult to see movie. It was as clear as its prob going to be in this release here. The color and pic were just fine cept the flaws mention. The sound was wonderful. Best ive heard. If you can live with whats mentioned go for it. I would like a cd 2 repack and i could live with this to. I give pic a 6/ sound a 9/ movie a 4 and Vcdcentral's encoding a 5 ( if that).


Posted by HoldDaSalad on 03-01-2003 03:15 AM:

my review

Not that bad, Its a tad bit better than ctp it doesn't have blue tint, so its watchable ONLY IF the blurs don't bother you. 7/9/8.

I am seeing glitches here, as well. About six minutes into CD2 is a bad one.

Posted by A1ex on 03-01-2003 09:08 PM:

6/8/6 - Video would be 7 if not for all the blurring which at some parts is very annoying. Sound is great for a screener. Movie is ok - the "watch it once and then forget about it" kind of a flick. Not ba dif you don't have anything better to watch (I didn't). Anyway, good job on the early release.


Posted by Kathartic on 03-02-2003 02:45 AM:

Hmmmm

Rush encode job? Seems to be a lot of block noise, very hard to imagine that was on the original tape.


Posted by OzZyOz on 03-02-2003 05:38 PM:

nice, nice, nice thank u! Thank u so much! The blurs ok are annoying but shit what u gonna do? But at least in this release he is red and u can see what happens in the dark scenes. Unlike CTP all u saw was a head and heard bang bnag fart. So thank u so much for this release. 8/9/5.


Posted by Phlag on 03-03-2003 12:51 AM:

The audio is completely superb, although I can't help but prefer Centropy's video. I'll get over the blurs and counter, though - they aren't too terribly annoying, and setting those aside the quality is pretty damn good. DD is such an aural-based movie though, so I think the great audio outweighs the couple of video downfalls.

6.5\8\7


Posted by flashman on 03-03-2003 02:07 AM:

Damn, vcd good job on this early screener.watermark issues in my opinion arent all that bad,considering the early quality of this screener .oh wait i think maybe ill go grab my copy of the blue tint version instead 7/7/6


Posted by phoR20 on 03-03-2003 02:35 AM:

7/7/7

I re-burned each disc and no more glitches. Maybe flakey media...


Posted by Heflink on 03-03-2003 04:36 AM:

You'd really have to like this movie to bother downloading this, not that it isn't an improvement, it's just the watermarks/blurs get in the way. This is all just based on the sample though, since I'm not dieing to watch this again I'll just hold onto the TS for now.

7/7/6


Posted by phoR20 on 03-03-2003 11:00 AM:

ive watched both Centropys rls and VCDCentrals and i have to say it, "I am more impressed with VCDCentrals screener than Centropys svcd.

7/8/7


Posted by dtwizzy on 03-05-2003 04:25 AM:

Smile nice

vcd central ownz wit new screeners

That is usually the case with SCREENERS vs TS's. Screeners should always look better... I for one thought this movie SUCKED 2 fighting scenes and then just a bunch of bullshit. 6/8/2


Posted by Mr_Grinch on 03-09-2003 12:21 PM:

I'm kinda dragging this thread through the dirt but I was wondering whether this version is uncut (In regards to the UK cinema version). I didn't realise our cinema version had been cut, went to the cinema to watch it on day of release, got the CTP release and got round to watching it a couple of days back.

When Electra throws her sai at Bullseye, he catches it and throws it back. In the UK version she merely caught it and threw her hand down in pain then it cut off there, in the CTP (Which I take is USA) she gets it skewered in her hand. Also in the end fight with the Kingpin, Kingpin headbutts Daredevil in the CTP version, whereas in our cinema version they cut that out and cut out a fair few other punches and kicks.

Just wondering whether this screener is cut or uncut.


Posted by petrocs on 03-09-2003 05:54 PM:

Uncut Mr Grinch Uncut go forth and retrieve your prize
