Ok i'm a hugh jackman and rachel weiss fan
and they are always good and they do the best job they can
but in the end an actoris only as good as the director and the
story.....so it is with some regret that i must say that for the most part this movie doesn't make much sense...
it's not logical or linear and there are so many flashbacks involved
you don't really know what is going on and by the time you figure it out
another flashback is happening...and if you can figure out the ending of this film please let me in on the joke because i'm still scratching my head on that one and this is not a new movie.....
What's great about it: hugh jackman and rachel weiss
What's not so great: the story, plot, pacing, excessive flashback sequences...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It's not soo bad seriously
on November 9, 2010
Posted by: lucky55
from Phoenix
Ok this movie has some issues like the pacing is very slow at times
and some of the acting seemed rather stilted and the plot was kinda well... out there...and the movie was a good 20 min too long
however i did enjoy this movie because i didm't have high expectations going in therefore it was better than i thought it would be
and the sounds and effects were top notch which should look pretty great on blu-ray i think the biggest issue with this flick was the editing
of the exposition scenes which seemed to go on and on and on.
the best part was that noah ringer did a great job of playing the avatar
and the slo-mo bullet time sequences are fun to watch....
to sum up this movie is at least as good as any twlight movie easily
and people just flock to those things...
What's great about it: not as bad as all that
What's not so great: they needed a better editor
I would recommend this to a friend!

The best of the new batman movies HANDS DOWN.

Posted by: lucky55

This is a great blu-ray transfer better than i thought it would be
plus it has great extras..
this is a very interesting movie because this is when batman learns how to be batman...i'm not going to go into why i think it's better than the sequel which was also good i can only say that believe that it is .
What's great about it: THE WHOLE MOVIE WAS VERY WELL DONE
What's not so great: THE SEQUEL WHICH WASN'T AS INTERESTING

Good movie
on November 7, 2010
Posted by: lucky55
from Phoenix
This is a good movie with some really good scenes and acting
however there are some scenes that are not lit right
and hard to see also for me it dragged in some places
and at times batmans voice got on my nerves like nails on a chalk board i mean seriously who the hell talks in a loud wisper like that ??? also it didn't keep my interest as well as the first one did.
still this is a good movie that looks great on blu-ray and morgan freeman is in it and he's always great...
i wonder who the next batman will be ? hopefully someone who doesn't speak like someone is standing on their throat.....
What's great about it: some great scenes
What's not so great: some not so great scenes that drag pacing not as good as first movie
I would recommend this to a friend!

ALMOST PERFECT!
on October 21, 2010
Posted by: lucky55
from Phoenix
Ok let me start by saying at first i wasn't sure i should buy this blu-ray
because i already have the DVD special edition and someone told me they had problems with the menus and special features not working....But i'm glad i decided to get it because it works perfectly
on my SONY BDP-N460 BLU-RAY PLAYER...THATS NEVER BEEN FIRMWARE UPDATED....
and i mean perfectly ! this movie is really cool on dvd and taken to total perfection on blu-ray the special features are great as well
and i really like director frank darabonts commentary track.
all in all this is a great outer limits type movie experience with thomas
jane leading the way...if i have one gripe about this film is that i didn't like the ending that much but i can see how it works for the film.
if it wasn't for the ending i would be giving this film a 100% perfect score this movie is definately worth getting on blu-ray it's extremely well done and well acted you can tell everyone involved gave everything a 100% effort 100% of the time i'm proud to have the mist in my blu-ray collection t's more than worth the purchase price
What's great about it: The fact that it works perfectly and it is perfectly done
What's not so great: i wish the ending was alittle different.
I would recommend this to a friend!

IF YOU WANT TO SEE HOW GOOD BLU-RAY CAN BE
on October 20, 2010
Posted by: lucky55
from Phoenix
Then get this movie ! it looks and sounds incredible
i think it was very smart to put this on blu-ray in the
AVC @ 27MBPS format because it
looks and sounds 100% perfect this blu-ray looks and sounds as good as any other blu-ray thats not avatar or 3D.
AND THE PLOT AND THE EFFECTS are great as well
you just cant go wrong with this movie unless you don't like
super hero type movies that are awesome.and fun! ...FLAME ON !!!!!
What's great about it: You name it it's very well done
What's not so great: nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very good, however ------- stay awake!!
on October 18, 2010
Posted by: lucky55
from Phoenix
This film looks great and the acting is very good etc.
however for some reason i felt the plot was predictable
and all the chase scenes came across as overdone and tiresome
it felt like i was watching the same chase over and over again.
there is alot of running in this movie so much that i felt tired
by the time it was all over this made me feel like the movie was about 20min too long....i suppose if you play the game then the
run jump run etc etc action in this film is more for you.
for me it felt like a indiana jones rip off with a cool dagger and a hot girl....not very original....
What's great about it: the look and acting in the film
What's not so great: the movie is too long and predictable.

The standard
on October 13, 2010
Posted by: lucky55
from Phoenix
Let me just start by saying there is really but one
flaw with this movie which is it's predictable plot line...
on the other hand most people myself included
will not even realize this one minor short coming while
veiwing the film...The movie literally sets the standard
for visual effects and considering just how many other visual
effects type movies are out there thats saying something.
i suggest everyone see this movie more than once
if i had to pick three words to describe this award wining film
by james cameron it would be along the lines of
uplifing, inspirational, & mesmerzing......!!!!!
i own this movie on dvd and i seen it at the imax 3 times
this is the blu-ray i have been waiting for all year!
What's great about it: Fantastic movie experience
What's not so great: somewhat predictable dances with wolves type plotline
I would recommend this to a friend!

my all time favorite horror movie
on October 11, 2010
Posted by: lucky55
from Phoenix
i was 17 when this movie came out in the fall of
1981 i thought it was the coolest movie i had ever seen
and i still think that
btw rick backer won awards for the practical
effects in this film....it is a classic great acting music atmosphere
everything a movie like this should be it was ahead of it's time
and i still prefer effects like the ones in this film vs many other that
are popular today.
i have this movie on vhs dvd and now on blu-raythis is horror at it's very best....
What's great about it: everything including the fact that it reminds me of my teenage years
What's not so great: nothing this movie is as good as it gets period.
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.

Seen it 4 times
July 6, 2010
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

What a surprise!
By matrixixix from Eastchester NY
Really enjoyed this movie. I feel like this has the potential to be the next lord of the rings or Harry potter. The story is great. I am hoping this does well enough to release the next book to movie.

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

Great Movie Made Better on Blu-Ray

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.

Makes me sad
October 10, 2010
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.

on my tv
October 25, 2010
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.

By seinfeldhawk23 from Davenport, IA
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....
