PAL is actually 25.00fps

First off NeVeRLiFt thanks you for step'n up with the real nfo and some good linkz for'em to read up at.

As for the flick, not bad for one of TCF's classic TS's. Only watched 5min but color seems washed and sound issues only really a problem at a very high volume.

6/7/?

Just finished watching this and I gotta say I am not impressed. I think Thomas Jane (the punisher) did a better job at acting in "61" than he did in this role. Anyways, the sound was good and the video was ok. I think this copy deserves 5's across the board. 5/5/5

This was a good movie...not the usual for TCF..but sound was good and the picture was very watchable.
Good Job

Very Nice

I'd have to rate this flick a 7/7/8

Grainy, the colors aren't really washed out but they are not as saturated as they could be and they seem to be a little off. Jade looks ok as the Punisher to me although Nick Cage with black hair would've been great. It could have been a Face Off reunion.

6.5/7/?

I think alot of people are voting off the JPEG or just have shitty monitors. But I just finish getting this and I watched it on the pc. Colors look fine along with the sound. Watched it on T.V. and looks even better. So it looks fine.

7/9/8

I'm probably one of the few people that liked this movie, probably because i expected i was going to and was in a good mood when i saw it, good enough release for me, nicely done with no major errors (just the occasional top of a head in a corner near the bottom), 6/6/9

not that bad at all.

little dark, and faded...sound has a buzz...movie was junk.

7/7/5

Yeah, the vid's a little washed out, but very watchable. The audio is good, don't know why ppl think it's only in the left channel.
6/7/x

Plot started good but then sorta died off.

V: 6.5
S:6
M:6

Looks damn good on the TV so that's all that matters. Sound is decent too. Best Marvel movie yet....

Watch full rls last night . . .

If you already have this rls, it is just fine. Good enough to watch and understand everything. iMPERIAL proper might be getting nuked for dumb reasons, but if you already have (or are dl'ing) this rls, stick with it.

If I would have waited, I'd likly get iMPERIALs rls, after confirming it had no issues.

7/6/6

*Way better than Hulk, not even close to Spiderman.

Watched the full release last night, I adjusted the contrast/brightness and saturation and this looked pretty good on my TV.. looked great sometimes. It could have been better and use a little more bit rate for the fast motion scenes. The sound was very good. The release could have been better but over all it was very watchable and I feel it was a good action adventure movie. I do feel the movies could have had better car chase scene I mean there gonna use them old cool ass cars (I love the Roadrunner) then they should have had a small chase scene showing them cars off!

I rate the movie...

Video = 7
Sound = 8.5
Overall = 8 (would have been 9 with better car chase scene showing off the Roadrunner)

as mentioned above, 23.976 is FILM framerate, not PAL.

FILM is a perfectly acceptable framerate & is in line with (S)VCD specs.

in fact, FILM often is better than NTSC, both because it doesn't have duped frames (because of pulldown) and therefore can be less 'jerky', but also because the bitrate is spread over a fewer number of frames and can therefore give a better quality image per frame.

this is not to say that this release had a better quality image than any other, just saying that there's nothing wrong with FILM frame rate. personally, i prefer FILM to NTSC (particularly in a VCD release).

just watched this on standalone. I didn't have any problems with this release.

video: 7, typical TS. Colors were a little bit off, at one point i saw a head briefly on the screen from the audience
audio: 8, good direct source
movie: 7, not a bad movie but not that great either. I found it very gruesome and gory.

-gosh

Just found some time to view this release. I had already dl this and checked the imperial sample. Based on the imperial sample I didnt see a need to re dl this. Decent little silver they picked up and if you already got this release it's watchable, I doubt imperials release is a major proper.

6/6/7

Haven't seen the whole movie, and don't much care to. However, judging by the sample this is a decent quality release.

6/6/?
