oh boy...
Well, I guess things haven't changed much here at VCDQuality since I last bothered to write anything. Actually, I shouldn't say that... looks like more "wannabe scene whores" and pre-teen geeks here who rate full fuckin releases by jpegs and fuckin samples. Man oh man, when are they gonna get some moderators and people to run this site that also have heads out of ass, and put this site back on top like it needs to be. I mean christ, these threads are for rating the releases of movies - not petty bickering back and forth about which groups suck dick better.
ON TO THE REVIEW:
I watched the entire Internal TS that FbC did, and although the angle in that was attrocious, it was bearable. And the movie wasn't TERRIBLY bad... seemed like it aimed too high, and missed. Had it tightened up the story, and not tried to be so "epic" and large scale, prolly would have worked better.
But, I figure maybe if a better version comes out, I'll watch again... and boy oh boy, was VideoCD's TS worth getting. I mean, I know it's gonna be at least a month or more before anyone starts seeing screeners. So a TS don't bother me - and I'm gonna RATE THIS based on what it is - a TS.
So, with that in mind
Video - 8.5/10
not too terribly bad... as some have mentioned, there is some head cropping, but it's not terribly noticeable except for a few scenes. Colors and picture are way better than the CAMS that came out first.
Audio - 8/10
Major improvement, but of course, this aint CAM audio like the FbC mislabeled TS. Not hollow, not tinny. Sounded great on my Home Theater System.
Movie - 6.5/10
After having a clearer version, and watching again, I have to say it's not a TERRIBLE movie, but by no means is it a great one. I do have to admit that I would buy this USED on DVD (under 10 bucks) just to see some of the production design, and a few of the action sequences. But could I sit and keep watching this movie from start to finish? PROBABLY - and that's why it gets a 6.5 and not just a 6 - cuz if I was bored enough, I might even sit through the terrible Necromonger dialog again.
