Great movie everyone knows that but blu-ray ?

Posted by: lucky55

You know i should have listened to the reviews
but i have a brand new sony BDP S590 3D BLU-RAY PLAYER
with the latest firmware and it can not read this blu-ray disk
the disk is undamaged
but still does not work..i'm returning it on monday and if an exchange doesn't fix the issue
i'll ask for a store credit and spend it on a movie that will work...
so it's not just game consoles
blu-ray players can't read it either..
so be warned
What's great about it: It's a blu-ray and dvd for great price
What's not so great: BLU-RAY DOES NOT WORK AT ALL sooo not cool!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

i have two dvd recorders and use each one everyday
have tried many brands of disks and i have found these to be the best and memorex to be the worst..
but heres a warning sometimes you can get a defective spindle of these so save your reciept and try not to use more than 10 of the defective disc's before returning them or they might not take then back.
What's great about it: most dependable of all disks
What's not so great: sometimes you get a bad batch

REALLY GREAT PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE

How Often Used:Daily
Last week i bought a pair of skullcandy uprocks for $29.99
they looked good and sounded good but were very uncomfotable
and felt like they would break also the ear pads don't articulate much at all...they are super tight and an on ear design wich makes
for sweaty ears plus awesome headaches...so i retuned them and bought these for $24.99..
and find that they are everthing i wanted great sound and comfort
for less than the uprocks and get this yes you can hear everything when you have them on but not pluged in, but when the music is on
all you can hear is the music i tested this out several times already.
these seem as sturdy as other headphones in the price range
and definately stronger than the uprocks i had....
and they don't squeeze my head life it's in a vice
in short i am loving these headphones more than i expected i would.
so glad i bought them just wish some paper work came with them.
btw i don't know anyone who would spend more than $100.00
for a set of headphones for casual listening it's different if it's part of you job or something but to listen to an mp3 player sterep or tv?
why spend $300.00 on something that only sounds slightly better
than the cheaper ones? must be a trendy wannabe thing in which case it's just soo stupid...be smart get what you need without breaking the bank...
What's great about it: looks great sounds great is comfortable and folds smaller
What's not so great: for the price it really is great COULD USE MORE INFO ON IT.

Really wanted to like this.....however
on October 14, 2012
Posted by: lucky55
from Phoenix
ok i bought this movie because of joss whedon 'as it turns out i am a huge fan of his work..but it's obvious he didn't direct this film
someone named drew goddard did and it shows...
nothing feels right about this movie to me and i don't know what people are thinking when they say there is comedy in it
all this is is a confusing gorefest which i found to be very off putting and the pay off in the end is just depressing and hopeless
i just regret that now that it's been opened i can't return it.
i know i'll be getting alot of negative comments but this is my honest opinion and i'm entitled to it twice on sundays/.
in the future i'll be avoiding drew goddard directed films like the plague...still a whedon fan but this has got to be the worst thing he's ever been involved in for more reasons than i feel like typing out..
i don't recomed this to anyone. there are too many other good ones out there than to waste your money with this nonesense.
btw serenity and firefly are both ten million times better than this
messed up cluster you know what...
What's great about it: joss whedon and chris hemsworth were involved in it.
What's not so great: Fails as a horror movie and a comedy
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

overall excellent movie
on September 23, 2012
Posted by: lucky55
from Phoenix
I totally agree this is a great movie soo much potential here
great cast and joss whedon did himself proud.
i could list all the great things about this movie
but that would take too long i say it's 98% perfect.
in my opinion they shouldn't have changed the hulk soo much
from the last film and i'm refering to his size it looks like they made him at least a foot shorter and 300lbs lighter..
i'm not saying he wasn't great in the movie because he was.
but i think he should look alittle more like the hulk from the last hulk film.at least from the neck down and they shouldn't make him age at all it's ok to make banner age but not the hulk the hulk isn't really human and he has the ability to heal super fast so of course he wouldn't age along with banner...
still he did a great job in the movie
as did everyone else.my complaint is a very minor one.
What's great about it: almost everything
What's not so great: some of what they did to the hulk
I would recommend this to a friend!

Way way better than i thought it would be

Ok when i first saw the previews for this movie it looked like it was
nothing more than action in tranformers style so i took a pass on it at the theater...now i wish i had seen it in the theater.
this movie has so much more to it than just action i was very pleaantly suprised to find out..
you can clearly see the awe and respect director peter berg has for the military throughout the film i throughly enjoyed this movie
so if you havn't seen it because you didn't like the preview
i say see it anyway forget the preview because it's soo much better than that
i think everything is just right in this movie the right amount
of everything...
What's great about it: inspiring film made with respect
What's not so great: i can't think of one thing
I would recommend this to a friend!

Well worth the wait and the money
on July 29, 2012
Posted by: lucky55
from Phoenix
Im not ashamed to admit i am a fan of all things STAR TREK!
i have waited a long long time for this to come to blu-ray
and it does not disapoint...it's as sharp as any other blu-ray
if not sharper and i'm gald i have not experienced any audio
issues i'm sorry some people are hopefully that will be resolved sooner than later...
one thing i am alitte disapointed about is that
it's not in wide screen format and i have to expand the aspect in order to fill my entire screen..
.but that is minor and shoudn't stop anyone for purchasing it....
i'am really looking forward to season 2
coming out later this year...and i already used the $ 10.00 discount code thanks for that best buy...
What's great about it: A beloved series comes to us with perfect picture and sound
What's not so great: minor complant must expand aspect raito to fill screen
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easily one of the very best tv series ever
on June 22, 2012
Posted by: lucky55
from Phoenix
I'm not going to waste my time explaining the entire series
but i will say this i have them all so far and it's been great
all the way through so far each season gets better.
every aspect of the show is so well thought out
they really know how to get you involved and how to mount the tension if you have not seen it yet and you like really super intense
and interesting dramas with brillant wrighting and acting.
then look no further there is a very good reason why this show has won so many awards it is astonishingly good.
What's great about it: It's soo well done
What's not so great: Well it would be nice if there were more episodes

They were completely wrong about this movie
on June 8, 2012
Posted by: lucky55
from Phoenix
Ok i'll keep this brief i saw this movie in the iIMAX in 3D
TWICE! and it's very rare that i go to the same movie twice
especially in the IMAX...Thats how great this movie is!.
There is no way this deserved any bad reviews yet somehow
through the power of mass ignorance it got them.
still shaking my head over that one i think maybe some of those critics didn't even watch the movie...this movie has great production
value a fantasic cast with some of my favorie actors in it.
and a timeless inspiring story somewhat similar to avatar
but that is a good thing since that was also a great movie.
in my opinion do not believe what some critics have said about this movie because they are dead wrong!
it is one of the very best movies of 2012.
and it has beautiful lynn collins and the great brian cranston in it!
What's great about it: EVERY LITTLE THING
What's not so great: some movie crtics are totally clueless
I would recommend this to a friend!

THIS WAS WAYYYY BETTER THAN THE OTHER HULK (the Hulk). This one had good action, pretty good camera work, but it was missing something. Watch it and see for yourself.

I saw this movie in the theater twice and on blue ray twice
and it looks and sounds better on blu-ray then it did at the IMAX
this is a great movie but i do think they should have had more
of the hulk jumping and running like they did in the first hulk movie
which i didn't think was that bad i thought the hulk parts were pretty good.
IMO either film is worth getting on blu-ray

Better than harry potter i think
August 23, 2010
This movie seems alot fresher than something like harry potter
it has a good pace to it a good story and good special effects.
i can't wait for the next ones to come out the acting was pretty good over all
but i want there to be alittle more character development in the next one.
so if you like harry potter and the cronicles of narnia then you'll like this because
it doesn't really bog down quite as much as the other two...they are good but i think this might be alittle better...and alittle more imaginative perhaps.

Super indeed!
By redtiger777 from Missouri
Movie was better than I expected...but what really blew me away was how good this bluray looks. Spectacular colors, no noise or grain....crystal clear picture.
If all blurays looked like this, everyone would want one. If you have a new high def bluray setup and want to show your friends what it can do, highly recommend this movie.

this movie like just about every other movie has it's flaws
however if you are a superman fan and you like great acting action and special
effects like i do then you'll really enjoy this adaptation/addtion to the legend.
there are some really outstanding and memorable scene's
in this film....
ps: if you watch the same film day in and day out regardless of the film you will
eventually learn how to hate it.....fyi

Really really good on blu-ray!
October 4, 2010
Ok i just watched this movie again on blu-ray
and i have to say that to me this looks like a perfect blu-ray transfer
not just during parts of the movie but the entife film...
the story and the acting etc is spot on never really any dull moments
to speak of very good all the way around and i think it's perfectly cast
you will definately get your moneys worth with this one great extra too!
one minor suggestion though you may want to adjust your tv brightness alittle
because alot of the scences are taken at night

Hilarious!
By superjacko3 from Frisco, TX
This movie is one of the funniest movies of all time! Ben Stiller plays the ego maniac jock in the world of Dodgeball, while Vince Vaughn owns a small gym where geeky weaklings hang out. After several funny events, the two characters end up facing eachother and other teams in a Dodgeball tournament. The tournament was when I really noticed the audio, hearing the perfect ring of red rubber smacking against a face. This movie rocks!

A TRULY FUNNY MOVIE!
October 10, 2010
This is a great well written and well acted comedy
with many funny moments and gag's..
I just got through watching this blu-ray version for the second time this week!
it is a great/PERFECT blu-ray transfer in fact i don't think it could look or sound any better.
so if you want to roll on the floor laughing DEFINATELY get this movie
the" wrench training" sequence
alone is worth the price of the movie....

Marvel Legend brought to Blu-Ray World
By Terry41 from Lockwood, MO
Another great marvel character taken into the world of blu-ray. Definition of the movie is outstanding. Plus throw in all the extra features and you have a great movie. The plot was pretty good for an action type movie but could of used a little more character developement and tried to stay closer to the comics.

That this movie was critically underrated and the fact that there hasn't been another
daredevil movie yet ! make no mistake this is a great movie
i'll admit i'm not a huge ben affleck fan but he is at his very best here
this role was perfect for him and of course the blu-ray version looks awesome.
my advise is don't believe anyone who tells you this isn't a good movie
because it certainly is and it's more than worth getting on blu-ray....

Studios Starting the Bait and Switch in Blu-ray
By UcL2 from Mableton Ga.
The studios are starting the bait and switch under the Blu-ray banner.. Bought this movie to update my video collection to Blu-ray. Realized after the fact that the video is not 1080p HD. Specs says MPEG 2 @ 18 MBPS. Video doesn't look any different than my standard DVD copy version . Studios are starting to downgrade Blu-ray quality without informing the consumer. Make sure if you are buying Blu-ray movies from 20th Century Fox to read the specs to make sure you're getting full 1080p since they seem to be the only studio downgrading at this point or just check them all to be sure.

i have an insignia NS-37L550A11 LCD HDTV
AND A SONY BDP-N460...
and the blu-ray version definately looks like any other blu-ray
on this set and blu-ray player certainly much sharper and more colorful
than the DVD version i have taken a good hard look at both versions on this set.
so AVC @18MBS doesn't seem to matter at all it's still a blu-ray
in terms of the way it looks and sounds i looked for flaws in the blu-ray
and could not find any..
i suppose some disks might not be as good as others or on other HDTVS
but on mine this is definately blu-ray quality all the way.

It is truly a great movie...Wish I could enjoy watching it. My BluRay drive on my computer will not play it, and I cannot find updates or anything so that I can play it. They are obviously open now, and if I can't enjoy them at home what can I do? Feel a little helpless....good movie though

This is not a good way to watch this movie
het yourself at least a 37in 120hrz flatty and a sony blu-ray player
for you living room it'll play it and you'll be glad you did make the investment.
watching it on your computer is not the way to go anyway not with this movie
unless it's on DVD....
