sure if you like watching 3/4ths of the movie and tinny audio...I think the TCR release was crap in comparison to either of the WPs...

Finally managed to get it. This rivals DVD quality. If you ignore the watermark.. it's unbelievably perfect. 8.5 (watermark!)/10/10. Definately keeping this one until retail DVD hits.

Yeah, I just watched the first 25 minutes and only noticed slight lip-syncs during a few scenes. Nothing major though and it doesn't distract from the film at all. The only complaint I have about the audio is that the higher frequencies are some-what distorted, but this is being highly critical. Video (besides watermark) is incredible. SVCD was warranted on this movie and it shows.

Desync bothers me even if it ranges from minor to major, dialog I can kind of withstand but sound effects like a punch, kick, door slam or explosion gets on my nerves if the sound is delayed or kicks in before it's suppose to. I'll just wait for a DVD Screener or maybe even the retail, the film rocked when I saw it in the cinema. Video quality was decent but could have been better (sometimes blurrish), and VideoCD needs some work in the audio department even though they've improved on video compared to previous releases. 7/6/10

They left a reel change on CD2 in the 'Showdown at the House of Blue Leaves' segment.

Video - 8
Audio - 7
Movie - 9

Just watched both CDs. Did not notice any De-Synch at all.

Video is very nice. I forgot about the watermark right away. The only time the watermark was an issue was at the end of the fight scene with Oren Ishii

Audio is good. A little tinny and slightly overmodulated.

Movie is wonderful.

8.5/7/9

Bring on Vol. 2 !

i dont even know why any channels on irc try to offer this.. every channel that does has all slots full no matter how long you try (i stayed on for an hour straight trying to just get in line for this) or any other channel lets you d/l at like 10k per sec.. this sucks.. i know once you have it, you dont care.. but i have to voice my frustration with these idiots who put this movie on bot that downloads at a max of 20k per sec.. fools.


edit:

it pays off when you know the op of a room.. i am FINALLY getting this movie at a decent speed 150k per sec.. nice

i got this whenever it first showed up on binnews but at the time i didnt have any discs so i just decided to wait.. cuz i'll be damned if im watching a movie like this on my pc monitor.. anyways on to the review

HOY SHIT! This just oozed style. Smooth as hell. This movie was so fuckin cool..... i mean like "Straight up in your face im better then your movie so blow it out your ass Tarentino style" cool. Def matched up to the hype.. Im glad i waited for a better release to watch it too. the vid quality was top notch, other then the camera quality changing due to it being unfinished i guess..(?) Watermark was no nuissance cuz it didn't move at all. Audio went out of sync sometimes, especially at the beginning of the flick, but for the most part it was pretty good, lil distorted tho...

8/8/9.9

this is a great release all around. videocd, u made my sunday night bloody good fun. props

I watched first half on both BSPlayer and Windows Media Player and the sound is way out of sync. Can't understand why some of us have sync problems and others don't. I mounted the image with Daemon tools and played it from there. So far out of sync as to be unwatchable.

Decent quality, very watchable on a TV, movie itself is pretty good too from what I've seen (about half)

7/7/7

Excellent quality workprint - the transparent watermark isn't too intrusive (far better than a scroller IMO) and lip-sync is hardly noticable when played on my standalone

The movie itself is truly excellent - that girl from BATTLE ROYALE really kicks ass!

9 / 9 / 9
