Are you guys stupid?! I saw this release today and the quality is HORRIBLE!! Doesn't even compare to VideoCD's Starsky & Hutch. The picture is not crisp whatsoever, it's very grainy, dark and smudged. Sound appears to be OK but definitly would wait for a MUCH better release. Plus the ending is cut off, before the credits so i donno if there's supposed to be another scene or what. VideoCD, stick to the camera you used to film Starsky & Hutch and quit experimenting!

Vid = 4
Sound = 7
Movie = ?

My two cents

From sample -
Video 7. Bit dark, not incredibly sharp, but OK for a TS.

Sound 8 - Again fine for a TS.

Film - ? Leeching now but I'm not going to watch it until I'm certain there's nothing important missing at the end. The people saying theres not seem to be a lot more knowledgable though.

this movie wasnt as great as i hoped it would be, but it was worth watchin. the story was weak. it sure was alot of hype.

7.8/8.3/7

I thought this movie was just awesome and i'm glad i waited for the VideoCD release. The Pic definitely benefits from the SVCD WS picture, its a tad dark in places, but very watchable and infinitely better than the Verity rls. i've wanted to see this movie for a while and it was worth the wait. No other quams. The audio was direct. Oh except be warned... There are no ending credits the movie just kinda ends... Props to VideoCD for the improved quality. I recommend this movie highly


7.5/8/9

Looks good, most things has been said already, dark and grainy but I assume that's cuz how the movie looks. Overall pretty good video, and great sound as usual.

nice release on a mediocre film.

Video - very nice, good colour, maybe a touch dark but no real problem. The issue of the pillar box viewpoint wasnt gr8 but u learn to live with it.

Audio - good, crisp and clear throughout, although i noticed a pretty bad sync problem towards the end of both CDs, dunno if anyone else noticed this too.

Movie - what can i say, boring............ plot was predictable and by the time the end came along i just didnt care nemore, not what i expect from a Johnny Depp film.

8/6/5

This is definately the best quality version of this release out there but WTF am I supposed to do with it, since it's missing part of the ending? Thanks alot, guys, but umm... yeah.

Video: 7
Audio: 7
Overall: 4 (incomplete print)

Good quality, Pic is a little dark, but nothing too distracting. Audio sounds great, no need for another release until a screener/dvd.

the whole movie is there. there isnt another scene. after the camera dips into the ground the credits roll.
it was cut there to achieve maximum quality. sometimes you have to cut the corners ya know?

as for the darkness, i think it should be referred to as 'shade' in this rls. in the dark scenes, you dont lose your bearings on what is happening.

Does anyone know for SURE if the ending is cut off on this release? Is there anyone out there that went to the theater to see this movie? I have the VideoCD release, but I don't want to watch it unless I know for SURE that it ends without being cut off. I don't care if the end credits are not there, but I don't want to miss any of the movie itself.

I must say that this movie was quite good. really didn't know what to expect going in. couple plot twists near the end and good performances by depp and tuturro. As for the ending being cut off, i didnt see it in theatres but knew it was over as the camera panned down through the secret window into the garden area. anyone who payed attention to the whole movie should realize this as well!

video: 7.5 widescreen clear and good A.R. for a t.s.
audio:8.0 sounded great through reciever w/ bass that shook room at points

movie:good stuff! based on stephen king book of same name.

the end is there, verified from someone who has read the novella it was based on. although the ending was different than the movie, it's still the end.

Nothing much with the ending cut off a little bit, it was pretty obvious it was just going to pan out and be over.
