WHOOH great one

this is a great release.. far beyond what i expected.. its a ts..

the sound well thats the down side..
there's a hiss in it..

i gadda say a damm nice release..
and well..

4 Oct..........Red Dragon - Hannibal Lecter's early adventures, starring Hopkins & Norton

SO A DAMM PRE ASWELL!

GREAT JOB ..... a small filter on the sound would have made it a perfect release.. but i'll adjust that on my reciever

thnxx

(this is a review of the sample....)

ok MOVIE REVIEW..
watched the movie finally..
picture ok.. (can be adjusted to look nice) sound well far wors then the sample..
can be adjusted if u have an the equip for it..

nice pre release..
very watchable .. if they would have used a filter this release would have rocked..

the sound screws it up..
sorry to say but its trrue..

so fooks at FTF try not to just rip.. but also edit same small things..
cuase that would make all releases way more interesting..

Finally FTF comes through with a quality pre. Almost two weeks before theatre release. Good TS with clear video although a little too much blue still very nice. Audio clear with a hiss in the background. I'll grab now and wait to see if a proper is released before i burn.

Audio: 6/10

....just a question , how can you help the sound to not hiss, waht do you need? anyway i can just do it on my computer, like changing some volume settings or something?

BTW 6/6/? vids ok, lil bright as usual from ftf and audio does have a little hiss to it....any help on that audio situation would be nice

nice job ftf

Picture and sound very good overall. Small hiss, but I've heard worse in the past, that's for sure. FTF is improving, and I have to give them credit for it. And one week pre, good job, hope they continue to improve. Thanks guys, I will enjoy this one.

It's like it's raining pre-releases. This is definetly one that I've been waiting for. Even though I haven't got it yet, it seems to look damn good. Hope it is as good as it looks.

too bright but i think this is ftf's best release ever.

Nice pre-release from FTF, pic is very clear, sound is a bit noisy but can be sorted using a filter / EQ.

7/5/8.

14 posts so far... hopefuly this thread will stay flame-free.

Crombie42

on the sound thingy... get an graphic equalizer.. then play with it for a few minutes..
u'll notice where the hiss is.. its probable in the high range ...

just try.. have fun

AND TO THE REST>>
THNXX FOR THE USEFULL RESPONCES AND GOOD RATINGS ON THIS RELEASE>. first time in some time that i havent seen flamin.. maybe i should be the first to post more often LOL

looks like a good release...downloading it now - just a question..im only seeing a few bots (maybe like 8 or so) with it on IRC...and none with the QVD release...so..how you guys already getting it? hehe

video is a little blurry but very watchable and the sound is good...only has a small hiss that you can barley hear.

6/6/? haven't watched the whole thing.

nice pre ftf!

finished watching the movie...my full rating is

video=6/10

audio=6/10 had a few pops and audio glitches but nothing major.

movie=8/10 good story that keeps you interested though it has some boring parts.they held back the gore in this one...guess the last movie was too much for some people.

quality response

Well, anyone who rates the video quality the same as the audio quality obviously shouldn't be rating. The video in this release is excellent for a TS. The audio is a hissy, and there's a few spots throughout the movie where the sound goes a little nuts for a few seconds, but not a big deal. Overall the sound is average, and the video is excellent. This is a very watchable release of an excellent movie. My hats off to FTF, because this is pretty much the first release of theirs that I could stand to watch.

I gave it a 7/5/10. If anyone reading this posts are actually curious about the quality of the release, I think that rating best describes it.

watched sample
the best FTF release ever , keep it up , like u guys more and more..

8/6/?

EDIT: ok , first rating was on sample which i watched on a crappy
monitor ... burned cd1 and checked on my trinitron
if it would have just a little bit more colors it would be a perfect TS(video , audio is not so good.)

new rate : 9,5/6/no time yet

nice but a little too blue for me. Ill wait till a decent release is out b4 i burn it to disk but still nice release

Pretty decent rls. Picture is really good for a TS, sound is a bit hissy, but it's not too bad.

Vid-8 / Audio-6/ Movie-7

Its a Remake of Manhunter put out in 1986.....So I think I'll stick to my DVD of the original.

Kudos props etc. FTF. Great movie & before even 5 votes registered at IMDb. Kill the hiss next time ok

BEST FTF Release EVER

FTF, congrats, you have finally made an excellent release, except for a few spots of fucky audio, the movie was excellent, and early, BRAVO!

very quick release.

The Picture is a 7 the sound while clear has a lot of hiss so I give that a 5.

The movie is a good movie overall but am I the only one to prefer the original Man Hunter to this remake?

I agree, for once FTF did it right and made a great release. I just got done watching the movie and I was so happy with the picture clarity and lack of usual block noise. And this one had other colors besides blue too! The audio was hissy, but still wasnt hollow and was very good quality. I only hope they keep it up now!

This was a decent release with the only downside being the audio which with a little adjusting was not bad. Nice job on the release,ftf.

I give it 7/6/9.

thanx ftf had a good time watching it =)


except for the audio but the greatness of the movie made up for it

for a pre very nice
8/6/9

Why bother downloading it?? just watch manhunter instead

its such a pointless remake

a very annoyed micheal mann fan

actually qvd's release is better 6/4/9

Considering that this is an FTF release I must say it is exceptionally well done. The video is quite sharp and accurate, but also lacks alittle color. Now the audio on this release is the usual FTF hiss which we all have annoyingly got used, but none the less audible. I have not seen the hole movie, but judging by the cast of characters (Sir. Anthony Hopkins and Edward Norton) it should be a good flick. So my final score would have to be as follows 7/6/?

I agree wit masta (almost) 7/6/7 .

No flames have happened yet, cant have this !


1/1/9, ftf sucks cock, wait till a real group like a-team releases a REAL proper of this.


Lol

7/5/4

come on guys stop acting like fruits!

act abit more manly on these forums please.

I watched this release last night, picture is nice, the sound has a hissing noise and it sounded like a street cleaner was outside taping it but its not at the ponit where u wont understand the dialogue, in fact all the dialogue sounded really good and clear and it was louder then the hissing, the first cd kinda seemed like it had a louder hissing then the 2nd cd but that might just be cuz I was used to it already, also a couple of sound pops but nothign major that will make u miss anything from the film, all in all a good release and the movie was actually better then the original manhunter it was based on, cuz the acting in this one was alot better, I also thought it was better then hanibal, but no where near the great silence of the lambs, but i doubt anything else by harris will be.

I give it a 8/6/8

8/7/9

I've been lurking these boards for a little while.. very entertaining. I felt I had to register to point something out about this movie. Then upon reaching the last page I realize that "Michael Mann" already did exactly what I was planning on doing. I now realize that some people really need to watch some good movies. To the people who rated this movie as x/x/10 ... go watch Manhunter.. then figure out that you cant rate this a 10 since the original would have to be rated at 27.5.
Other than that....


Video - 7 : the washed out look can be taken care of with overlay and brightness adjustment

Audio - 5: why don't groups filter audio? it really isnt much effort but its ok I can do it myself when I recode the movie

Movie - 6: decent story but nowhere near as psychologically good as Manhunter (the orignal movie adaptation of the book)

simply amazing.

great job filming in theatre.

awesome colours..

and a 1 week pre-release...


the audio is average... there is a loud hissing that could only be eliminated when i turned the treble all the way down


9/6/8

Good tight release, pic is a little washed out. Only a handful (4-5) slight sound glitches in the movie. The quality is about a 7 or so (if they color was better it would deff. be an 8).

7/6.5/8. Good movie. I have never seen any of the others, but I found it easy to familiarize myself with the Hanibal character (I know it's a prequal).


Well worth the download.

Brian

I enjoyed the movie and it was actually good quality but except for the ending and about 5 minutes of the beginning it was Manhunter. I knew the whole storyline because I actually liked Manhunter. Anthony Hopkins is a better Lector but Manhunter is still the better movie. On a side note Manhunter was aired on network TV as "Red Dragon : The Curse of Hannibal Lector"

5/4/? too much hiss too little colour, watchable, early but certainly not good quality. FTF isn't really about quality though is it.

This is FTF's best, I am by no means an FTF fan but this release is 10x better than their usual crap.. Its very smooth with no block noise, and clearer than usual. It does have a lack of good color.

Please do not encourage groups to filter and reencode, the more the source gets messed with, the more it'll get f*cked up..

8/7/9

watched it last night Amazed at the quality being an FTF, sounds not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Hell Its Free!

p.s.
stop complaining bout one an another and just post bout the movie who cares to listen to grown men cry

7/7/6

video looked a little washed
audio had the FTF hiss we all know and love
im going to have to look into Manhunter
on the back shelves of homevision

pretty good...

Im really surprised by this release. FTF did a good job on this one, the audio has a LIIIIITLE his but nothing big, i dont even think it affects the movie at all if you have it on TV. and Video isnt that bad either... just a little light, but i mean you can fix that on your tv by turning the contrast or brightness down...so
OVERALL 6/6/?, if all TS releases were like this i WOULD NOT complain, gj FTF!

If only the pic had a little more color and that annoying hissing sound was gone it would be a great release 6/5/9

Which can easily be done in TMPGEnc and Cool Edit If you've never tried, give those programs a go...Cool Edit especially is great at removing the hiss from the audio.

damn great movie.

as for quality, its ok

Screener

I hear that were getting the print in work today... ill wait for the screener this week

I don't see the harm in filtering audio for group releases... if I can do it without losing quality I dont see how they can't. Also, to clear up, when I said reencode I wasnt talking about reencoding the vcd, I meant converting to divx|xvid.

can't you see

Does anybody else not realize that Satan_Hollow is the same damn person as that fuckin tuna smellin' mother fucker? He does the exact same shit, rates the groups for which he is the bitch high, and all others low. Same trend---same person. Nobody else is so fucking stupid.

This was a decent pre release. The sound occasionally pops and goes out for a few seconds, but only on the first cd. there is a loud hiss, but just turn up your volume and you can hear everything fine. I'll be happy when a better version comes out, but this was great to see without going to the theaters.

7/5/8

8/6/8

great pic .. best FTF rls yet .. and a PRE!!!

audio .. bad hiss but easily removed with Gold Wave and TMPEnc .. you'll have to figure it out

movie was very good

latah

good release i just d/l it last night and watched it although this hissing i say its pretty..7/5/7 (although it was the same as manhunter but still good..)

8/7/8

the pic was slightly washed out, even turning the brightness down I couldnt get black to be dark, colour was pale.
The sound was a bit hissy, and occasionally faded away.
But as you can see from my marks it was still a very watchable release, dont think I'll get a better one until the dvdrip if at all.
The movie was very enjoyable.
Well worth downloading.
Great release guys.

7/5/8

Taking into consideration that it was a pre. The sound does have a hiss which can be taken out and there is some scratching like noise. Pic is a little blurry and not that colourful when it comes to red's. Also someone stands up in one part. Its not that noticeable but it is there.

Overall good job FTF. Next time you might want to run the audio through a filter though before you release to get rid of the hiss.

this is nice release of a good movie from FTF i say 7/5.5/8

Very nice rls. Quality picture only let down by rubbish sound (the sound would be great if it didn't have the hiss).

6/4/7

wow this was a great rip.....keep them coming background sound fuzz doesnt bother me a bit

Get cool edit pro 2.0 and use the hiss reducer and you will have nice audio. Play around with it and use the preview button. Also you can use tmpgenc to reduce the blue in the movie and add red and contrast and all that good shit.
