Good to see something new from maVen
Looking at the sample its not their best TS , however its a damn good release. Framerate looks a little weird and when its got dark scenes its hard to see.
7/8/?
Anyway who cares its free and they always deliver
Good work

hmm not the best stuff from maven
looks to bright according to the sample
so my raking is only from the sampl
7/7/* will se it in the cinema tomorow

Sample looks pretty bright. colors a bit washed too. in the sample when he runs down the stairs theres alot of pixelation, and theres alot of motion blur in the action scene [like whe nhe runs down he stairs in he sample] - audio is fine [like usual]


6.5/9/x

liked the first one, so im sure ill get this too.


- Horton

a little bright but nowt that the buttons on ya tv cant fix

8/8/na

Only watched the sample.
But I have to agree, it's a bit grainy, and a bit too bright so outdoor scenes look really bad.

Sound has a hiss to it but not too bad.

7/8/*

release seems ok from sample, nothing to camplain about
besides, it's free

9/9

bright? maybe you're on acid or something? (or maybe it's just me or my monitor?)

This release is solid. The video is a bit funky, almost washed a bit, with some motion blur/pixely in dark scenes. But still better than any other release. Sound is your typical maven sound, very nice. Keepem coming I like it.....

7.5/8/7

Nice rls maVen, does look a litte bright in some scenes. BUT it's still great IMO, best rls so far. Good job.
7/8/?

nice one maven as always up there with the best

[edit stop being so cocky.]

been i while from maven
still good picture 7
still good sound 8
not got it all yet (movie) ? 20mins left

let hope the TWAT FACTOR isnt involved in this

[QUOTE] from Arthur Daily


whats the Twat Factor i hear you say?

Well the Twat Factor is where one or more TWATS feal the need to get up or bob about IN SHOT whyle a movie is playing.

for me this stuff isnt a real problem but for some its Real off putting and i can only guess that this hasnt been said yet because as normal most posters havent seen the whole movie before posting.

It must be a real kick in the nuts for the Cam dude to take the risk in Camming this for us only to have a moe moe Twat bobbing up n down or his m8 stand directly in the frame.


Da END

lol thaks for the Quote,

only reasion i go on about these twats so much is its there inabilaty
to sit the feck down and watch a film.

for example, when I watch a film the volume is high.
not because im mutton, its because i wanna get the most from a soundtrack.
the Ambient Sound Effects, and music score.
imo the soundtrack to a movie is inportant.
also i switch off the phone, theres nothing worse than stopping watching a movie and comming back to it later.
for me this breaks the continuity of a movie.

ive been speaking to friends in the past about a wicked movie that they too have seen, and they thourt it was crap.
or they just didnt get wot the film was on about.

basicly they missed what the movie was trying to say.
its inportant to immerse yourself in a movie and get right into it.
without the missus moaning theres no hot water.
or worse still in the cinema, Some twat comming in 5 mins late and then slate the movie when he/she spent half the time yapping to there m8.

anyhoo, on to this releace....

picture is workable and a great inprovment on the last one.
sound it Bang on the money.

movie itself is a follow on the the 1st part and dosent try to better it.
it dosent spend any time building the characters and hopes the viewers
at least saw the 1st part where all that took place.

its not a stand alone movie imo
you HAVE to watch the 1st part at least
recently to get the most from this one.

its by no means $hit, just not as WOW as the 1st one.

remember the 1st one was a remake of a classic.

im gonna watch this rls propperly when the house is quiet.

ill give this Rls the Thumbs up for now and will only edit this post if theres any major feck-ups

True! Not the best release maVen has done but i think we may take that view as maVen set the standards so high with the
previous releases and now we have all come to expect near dvd quality from maVen. How ever this rls is still top quality and lets face it, the best svcd release in a long while.

I dont think the sample chosen was the best part of the video footage to choose as the sun reflecting on the stairs and the
single camera man following behind, bumping up and down make it very hard to judge from sample. How ever looking over cd 1
it is still good maVen quality and as said maybe not his best due to the high standards set previously but still way ahead.

Well done maVen hope your back to stay i for one have missed you.

8/8/7

100% behind you m8

all i hav to say is....yes..lol

8/8/8

Guess who's back. Mavens back.

Why thank you maVen for this release.

As an SVCD:

7/7

great ts, pic is a bit washed out/grainy/faded, but doesnt look like much is cropped, just abit from the right side judging by the opening credits/logos. sound is flawless, dts and in sync, so no problems their. havent seen the movie yet, will watch after i finish grabbing this.

7/9/x

This is a great release..... for people that watch the sample it is misleading download a rar and open it up and watch it in VLC Media Player...... I want to point one thing about why maven is "that good" They put in the text that would be cut off.... EX "First Thrusday 13days ending"...... Great Release



8/8/7.5

great release even if the color cause weird for 10mins... movie is good but not good has the first one, ihih!!

8/9/7

I think you do have a point haven't seen a release from Maven in a while, because the nfo is slightly different a Maven nfo from the past.

unlike some people... i actually watched this release (not just the sample)... shit, reviewing the sample is like reviewing the .jpg... you cant just look at the 1 minute sample or check out the picture and base your reviews on that.... that's just stupid. so anyways, i did watch this full release and i must say, it's very well done... i must give maVen a big thumbs up! of course there are a few minor issues, but nothing to get all bent out of shape about.....

8/9/8

finally something to watch
i was bored as fuck 8/8/1 and i didnt even watch the movie but i dont give a fuck and its a gay sequel
i cant vote for it caz the voting is fucked up

__________________

I don't pay much attention to the VCD scene, anymore, but this release is very watchable. It seems to be a bit off center, but much better than the POT version.

7/9/X

Nice job

Good Job maVen.

Video - 8.5
Sound - 9.0
Movie - 9


Counting on you guys to release blade trinity soon.

I watched partly CD2 and the quality is as good as usual from maVen. Although (like some already mentioned), it's not one the best TS from them. The colors are good, pic is sharp, but dark. Compared to POT it's by far better and very watchable.

// my screenshot (use it on the mainpage, if you like)

ok, this is weird. i'm still a noob on these forums as my post count will testify, but my very first post didn't make it on to the general discussion forum, thought it was scrapped by a mod cos i crossed some unwritten line...the subject of my post was "What has happened to maVen?" cos it had been that long since they dropped anything.

anyway, as for this one, agree that it's not as good some of the awesome maVen drops in past months, but still gets a:

7 - good, watchable, but definitely an average whiskey: blended grain

8 - nice, can't complain.

? - can't say i'm blown away so far, liked the first one more (with about 30mins to go), but i'll rate it properly when finished.

[EDIT:: I deleted your thread, sorry. Speculating about underground groups in a public forum isn't a good idea - Neversoft]

Scanned most of cd3, and it's Very nice. The scene hasn't seen too many good releases lately. The picture is a little bright in some spots, but other than that, I think that it's great release.

Nice job,
Thanks VideoCD or maVen or whatever your multi-personality would like to be next lol. This is nice not to much "Twat Factor". They did a nice job I would like to point out instead of putting the rls out cropped they took the time to put the cropped text in there. Nice job
Thanks maVen+VideoCD=MaveideoCD

tHe p1r473

Hi everyone,

dawgedogg, hi,

No , no heads in this one till the credits roll, so it's not too bad , nice job with the English caps, quality is ok just that the dark scenes are much to be desired hard to see any real detail...would have liked to see the laser scene in better detail though. I wasn't too pleased with how the plot turned towards the end, I think it kinda threw the whole feel of the movie off, at least for me it did.

vid - 7
aud - 8.5
mov - 7.5 ( slow to get to where it was going...and never really did get there)

just finished watchin on 32' tv...not too bad... 8/8/7.....oceans 11 still better, great ending though, will give it that, but kinda saw it comin, keep em comin maven....and you guys say its videocd, to me if any grp, i would say centropy since it looks just like one of their intros, but im not one to say who it is since me dont know, heheh, and by far best rip out btw

Looked at a few ramdom rars,looks good.not fantastic but better than pot rls.Dont know if its good enough to warrent svcd on this & my worry is the next svcd will be duped even if its better.This is a bit to dark in places & sound seems low.not complaining at all but there will be a better rls im sure.The 1 to watch out of the 2 rls .

7 / 7 / ?

Nice release like always, brightness can be turned down, but darkness doesn't help when you give it some brightness. The size of the release it good and I like the clarity. The main thing with me is not seening half the people getting up during the movie.

V-8
A-8
M-8

what if all 3 groups where the same and if they had more groups also would they not just pick what goes where. or if they just had to much atention somewhere they decide to send the atention somewhere else!

watched this on the big screen tonight...

Video was great - not mavens best, but lately being
stuck with the POT stuff (I'm glad they are so proactive, but
their video quality leaves quite a bit to be desired). So
this maven release relatively speaking is fvcking great, lol.

audio - excellent as always.

movie - it was good, the first was far more entertaining.

video: 8
audio: 8
movie: 7.5

Not that it's even neccesary to comment on a maven release:

7/9/6

Movie was too fucking confusing.

Not the best release from maven, but still a damn good TS

Video - 8 Quality is good enough, higher than average picture,, colours are a little washed, but damn watchable

Sound - 9 Superb quality as usual

Movie - NA

Obviously the video is not the usual 'standard' from maven but still good release.

Video 7
Audio 8
Movie ?

well the only thing i can say is:..welcome back maven. Nice quality. Offcourse not their best but hey;..you dont hear me complaining. I like it!!

8/8/?

I gotta finish watching this...will probably start from the beginning since I was somewhat confused by about 45 minutes in. This is what happens when they take a script meant for John Woo and basically re-work around the OC11 characters. The plot is all over the place and doesn't match the flow of the original IMO.

Off-topic...but has anyone else seen the CUEFIX for CD1 of this release floating around? I had no problems with the cue in CD1...did anyone else?

I had a problem, looked in the cue sheet and fixed it myself.

is anyone having trouble with cd 1? i put the cue in to burn and it says "cannot open the cue file" and that an error occured. so then i tried the bin file and it says "unexpected file format" and then "the current compilation type was not supported by nero express". i don't know what's going on. i had an earlier version of nero and all i had to do was just switch it to mode 2 and everything worked fine. now it won't even allow me to do that.

:: Do not double post plzkthxbye

Not There Best Work

Picture is good not worth 8..Sound is great that 8 is fine Movie is good 7 there...But why 3 cd's time comes out as 1:58:34

judging from sample looks like another quality release from maVen, mabye a bit too bright, but still, as always, is the best. But this movie just sucked so bad, after paying good money to see it in the theaters, my advice is don't
Maven is still best
V=8, A=9, M=3

7/8/1

video was pretty good, similiar to previous mavern rls's

audio was on the quiet side but was pretty clear and in sync

movie was absoloute dribble

star studded cast but the film never got going, you expect things to happen with regards to the 1st film but then u notice over 100 minutes have passed and still u dont know wtf is going on

the film is a bit like 20 grams where it is in reverse

I only watched this flick because I saw the original. I wasn't disappointed. Except Brad Pitt's character wasn't eating in every scene.

little blurry and dark in some scenes, good audio as usual
7/8/7

nice release maVen I had to do some adjustments with Tmpgenc but overall lovely... Just watched the movie for a second time. Alot of twist and turns which made it different. but overall very nice film...great job.

8/9/7 movie was above average. but definitely not bad.

Reality Is Only A State Of Mind...

Not much better that the previous release.

Pic is quite fuzzy and dull.

6/8/7

I am kinda new to this. But, this was a pretty good quality release for a svcd. Picture was very watchable and the sound was bang on.

7.5/8.5/8

Good work Maven , keep up the good work.

7/8/5

The movie was a huge disappointment.

7/8/?

Grabbed this release. Good job MaVen keep them coming. But please take your time. Video is MaVen quality. Audio is good. For the movie looks like a movie for a older group. Im 14 and only watched the first CD. Wasn't that fun.

I must say...rating just a sample is fucking moronic...like someone else said, you can't rate a jpeg...

anyway, is it just me or are the intro credits and location titles and shit not english?

[EDIT:: Moronic? Try reading our posting rules. SAMPLE RATING IS ALLOWED IN COMMENTS THREADS - Neversoft]

dark but watchable.
first oceans was definatly better.
7/7/6

not the best coming from these guys but definnatly viewable

7/7/7

movie was not as good as the first. but thats just me

pretty good quality, def not the best from maven.

7/9/8

on a side note, what was that song maven used in their intro, it sounded like rammestein or sumthing. Would really appreciate it if some could tell me what that song was called.

well they have tryed real hard on this one to show whos the boss :P
anyways, from start to ending titles, not any crap like cutin off b4 it says "the end", nice quality, kinda dark, n all tht, still real good, they made like black rectangles over the writing an made em english, kinda oversized the black rectangles though,
rating as svcd telesync:
video-9
audio-9
movie-???

Maven quality hasen't quite been the same, this shows how much has changed. Video is decent, but too many dark scenes, some pixelation as well, but the audio was pretty good.

6/8/6 - Movie is a sequel so what would you expect?

__________________

cue file on CD1

Can someone go through the fix on cue file 1 for me. I can't burn it, or mount it because of the error. Any help would be appreciated.

I didnt have any problem's with cd1, but cd3 doesnt have a cue. A read error happened during unpacking, can someone tell me what to do? do i need to unpack it again? replace a filename?


Thanks in advance,


Hero

[EDIT:: Wrong place to ask you Muppet, but if you must know - install QuickSFV then open the .sfv file that is in the same folder as the rars. It'll tell you which rar is fucked - Neversoft]

Not the best by maVen but still very watchable.

7/8/4

Colours a bit washed and dark in some scenes.
Didn't like the movie at all.

__________________
Good morning, Campers.

Watched this on the big screen, based on the fact its a telesync:

Video: 8 (good, but not the best SVCD telesync ive ever seen)
Sound: 9
Movie: 7 (good, but not as good as the first movie)

Best Oceans 12 release so far, very watchable.

xTFCx

7/8/6

I thought the film was an excellent sequel.

I rate it 8/8/9

Why am i getting a sense of repetitiveness?

It seems once someone says something like "Good quality but not maven's best" everyone likes to be the sheep.

Ok we get the point it may not be maven's best but stop telling everybody the same thing, i'm sure it only needs to be said once for people to remember your comments.
