Air1, you must be alot less fussy than me, because im not massively keen on this release.
The pic is nice and clear and sharp, but the colours are slightly off, the AR is wrong, its far too light, and the sound is horrible.
Still great for this early, but not a perfect release and not the best TC ever either.
8/6/?
I am very fussy you could say. Not in the sense that I won't watch a pretty poor release even though that's usually the case, but more or less in the way of being EXTREMELY critical of releases between freinds and such.
Everyone complaining about the audio -- true it is not perfect, but jesus christ -- why the 5 ratings or lower or 6 even? I mean come-on... I didn't notice a single muffled point though there was 1-2 parts at least (maybe 3-4) where I had to rewind it a second to hear what a line was that was spoken but from my view it wasn't because it was "muffled" but because the actor speaking or spouting out the line kind of mumbled it or said it too quick for me. Other than that the audio was crystal clear and I had no major complaints though with this SUPERB picture I would have LOVED DD5.1 or DTS.
Anyhow since others are saying the same about the audio I suppose the majority is right, though I still think it's the movie, not the release, in those 'parts' that you are claiming that it's muffled and/or quiet. Just my opinion.
As far as your comments about the picture, you're the first I've seen to at least speak their mind about what 'flaws' there are. Sure there's been some rather low 'ratings' or scores though I think this is just people being people. You always get that with rls's even if they're a 1:1 copy with no downsampling of a retail disc's picture.
Colors too bright? Eh.... I'd say maybe 5% (meaning hardly at all; miniscule; more or less not very true and certainly not noticeable unless you look for it). If you think it's way too bright than I think maybe some settings on your DVD player and/or TV 'may' need tweaking because I haven't heard anyone else say this. Maybe I'm wrong, and I'm definately not flaming so don't get the wrong impression. At any rate, wouldn't you agree a rls is far better to be a little or a lot too bright than a little or a lot too dark? I do... 1,000% and so do most others. AR is wrong? Colors slightly off? Well, as I said it isn't a 100% unbeatable rls though it truly is the best non screener rls I've ever seen. Hands down. No doubt. BUT -- as I said before and I'll say again, it DOES have flaws and the retail will definately be better. As far as the picture goes, I'd say only by maybe 10% at the most... This was jaw-dropping as far as picture quality goes.
Once again, maybe I'm wrong, and I'm -not- hating or flaming at all but I think once again maybe your tv settings or dvd player settings need adjustment as you're the only one to specifically call-out (sotospeak) these 'flaws' in the picture (especially saying they're pretty bad flaws at that; or at least that's the feeling I get from your post and what you say and how you said it).
I have yet to speak to anyone personally among dozens of RL and online friends; many dozens; who disagree that this is by far the best TC ever made and by far the best rls non retail (picture wise-of course).
Good discussion and good times. I'm glad you chimed in... it's good to have discussions like this..... like I said and I'll say it again -- there's no flame or hate at all in this post; just friendly conversation. 
I'd be interested to see what your follow up to this post of mine is.
Live well; be well; and have a great day everyone. 
Peace....
