I found the plot to be fairly predictable but with a movie this good that doesn't matter at all.
The actors the acting the stunts the cars and the soundtrack are all right on the money.
the only knock i can give this movie was that i felt the running time was alittle too long but other than that i really loved this movie and feel they should look into making part 2...

Im not going to give a super long review here but i will tell you that this is a very solid 5 star movie all the way around...soo much went into this move and it really shows...and the special features in this blu-ray set are extensive and very interesting. also everyone who stared in this film was a perfect choice for their roles i really can't wait to see what the next man of steel movie will be like because it's going to be very tough to top this one...
What's great about it: The story the acting the special effects the sound track and the director
What's not so great: Upon the first viewing in the theater some of the action was too fast to follow.
What can i say about a movie this good? well i can say that it's even better than the first one which was great. i liked everything about this movie the plot the cast the sound track the production value special effects you name it. and i can't wait for the next one! i can only give it five stars but its even better than that.! and it's great to see spock kicking butt and taking names!!

Well i love the tremors movies i suppose they might not be for everyone but that really does not matter to me...
These movies are awesome! they have a great blend of humor scares and campyness they don't have state of the art special effects or anything but that doesn't matter either the premise is very cool and the charactors are very likeable it's very funny as well but it does not come across as completely stupid because there is always a touch of believablity were you are left wondering what if ? it also has a hint of jaws in it as well where you know something is coming but you are not quite sure when or where... honestly i can't wait to get this blu-ray set i already have them all on dvd and the first one on blu-ray which is a perfect transfer btw. i just wish they would make another movie....like i said maybe not for everyone but it is definately for me....
What's great about it: Well if you are a fan of tremors like i am you'll love it
What's not so great: well that it took this long to get on blu-ray
Like many people i am a fan of the original and i own it on blu-ray. I agree that by todays standards it's a campy film but i saw it the day it was released in the theater and no one was saying it was campy back then.
I have to say this re-make is a let down i must blame the script or the director the story deviates too much from the original which left me feeling robbed the cast was good and the film looked good but halfway through i just started to loose interest and i found the ending to be highly underwhelming it almost felt like a complete waste of time with a different scipt and a better director this could have been a great re-make but instead it just fall's flat on it's face like many other movies where you just don't care about the charactors or what happens to them..
What's great about it: the cast and the look of the film
What's not so great: the story line script pacing etc
This fantastical set includes both Night at the Museum and Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian, two movies in the family friendly movie franchise about a down-on-his luck single dad named Larry, who takes a job as a night security guard at a museum, only to discover that when the sun goes down, everything at the facility comes to life - including dinosaur skeletons, stuffed monkeys, and sculptures of Teddy Roosevelt.

Two good movies for a great price

These movies have never looked or sounded better they are both good movies but the first one is my favorite the second one is more predictable but the second one does include a dvd and digital copy but both movies are better than i remembered them being. all in all this is a great deal i definately recommend.
What's great about it: both movies are included for one low price
What's not so great: The second movie not quite as good as the first
While this is a good movie it lacks when compared to other movies will ferrell has made like taladaga nights, elf, and step brothers, to name just a few i am a big will ferrell fan and i think hes at his very best when the character he's playing is more sympathetic with the exception of the campaign but if hes playing someone who is just a jerk then it's not as funny to me i am also a fan of his dramatic work as well like stranger than fiction and everything must go.so while this isn't a bad movie at all i feel it's far from his best work probably because hes gotten so much better since then.
What's great about it: it is funny with a good cast
What's not so great: much of will ferrels later efforts are much better.
I've always liked this film but now that it's on blu-ray it's even better heath ledger was always great but he really shines in this film.
This movie really delivers the believe in yourself no matter what message quite clearly and effectively. it was made awhile ago but it really holds up and the cast is great all around it also has a great ending.
What's great about it: the plot the acting the actors the comedy and the intensity
If you are a fan of the other ice age movies you'll like this one as well it's a new adventure with the old cast. plus there are alot of special features and it looks and sounds great.
One of those movies that you can watch over and over again the acting the animation the special effects the story and the sound track are all top notch great cast too!
you can't go wrong with this movie great for kids and adults alike!
one of the best animated films i've seen...
What's great about it: GREAT MOVIE
What's not so great: COULD HAVE USE A COUPLE MORE EXTRAS MAYBE
I was lucky enough to get 2 free movie screening passes to see this a month before it was released in theaters and the main reason i first wanted to see this was for Jay Chou because i thought he was a good actor in Initial D. This was actually good, it had a lot of action in it mixed with comedy. Definitely something worth checking out. Never seen the old Green Hornet so i dont know how this lives up to it but I believe they did a good job. I might be adding this to my blu ray collection!
I couldn't wait for this movie to come out in the Theater.... Even the Music was awesome with Bjork, Roxy Music and others...
I Was first in line to see this one ! When the movie first started I thought I was in the wrong theater and that I had wandered into a horror movie, it looked nothing like the movie trailers I had been seeing on TV ... but after 10-15 minutes we were fighting Humongous Shogun Warriors Matrix style !!! Cinematics were a blast ! The story was suspenseful and Very Visual. It was different rooting for some Chicks instead of Bruce Willis or Some wimpy spider-man dork.
I was jammin during this movie both with the action and the tunes !!!
After it was over, When I was leaving the theater I was saying that I'm going to OWN a 3D TV before that movie comes out for home viewing. ....I worked hard, replaced a lot of equipment, bought new cables, 3D glasses, Blu-ray 3D player, etc and was ALL ready for the release. well, here's the big release..... (hear the crickets?)
What, no 3D ??????????????????????????????????
I'm not buying it.

Oh come on !
June 24, 2011
I'm soo sorry but i can't bring myself to feel sorry for anyone who can afford a new 3D TV and blu-ray player etc....besides more than likely there will be a 3D release in the future in the mean time there are alot of other great movies in 3D.
so no sympathy from me on this one because alot of people work very hard and still can't afford a set up like that...
This three-pack features Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park, as well as Joe Johnston's Jurassic Park III.

Extremely grainy, the Worst Transfer Ever!
ByrelfaithfromBuffalo, NY
Being a Jurassic Park fan, I rushed out to but the Blu-ray trilogy on its release date. I have never been so disappointed in a digital transfer of a movie in my life. My old DVD's of Jurassic Park have a better picture than the new blu-rays. I am astounded that Universal would do such a poor job on the transfer of the films. I have other movies from Universal that are much older, like "The Blues Brothers" blu-ray (1980), and the picture of that is excellent. Not this! As a consumer, I expect a package labeled as "Perfect picture and sound" to be more than a slogan typed on a package. Whoever did the transfer for these movies didn't clean up the film at all. It looks more like a digital transfer of an old VHS tape that had been played 100 times. I have over 200 Blu-rays and none of them look as poor as this. Now I have to find out how to get my money back.

looks very good for me

I have a 37in 120hz 1080P HDTV AND A SONY BDP-N460 BLU-RAY PLAYER WITH THE LATEST FIRMWARE UPDATE.. these movies look almost as good as avatar on my set up i have watched them several times now looking for gainyness etc and could not find any such issues i have found that sometimes a disk is not quite right and i take it back and they will exchange it...other times it is just a matter of getting the dust off the tv screen which can make any movie look grainy and adjusting it better for that movie. this set is incredible and i have no regrets with the purchase i would say replace the disk if that doesnt solve it fiddle with the backlight contrast sharpness etc until it looks right to you or get a firmware update for your blu-ray player if you do all that and it's still not right then either you are being too picky or you need a new BETTER TV.
I have bought 3 copies of this BLU-Ray and NONE OF THEM WORK!!!!!

it certainly does work
December 31, 2011
My friend you need to look into updating the firmware on your blu-ray player take it in to be serviceed or buy another one...because odds are overwhelming that after buying 3 blu-rays of the same movie it has to be your equipment and not the movie that is causing you issue. then again you might just have the worst possible luck in the world in which case i would have to ask did you upset anyone who knows vcoodoo ?
Very entertaining movie even today. It shows us how good the special effects were even by today's standards. It's a good setup for the next two films.

Arnold can't act?
May 5, 2012
You must be joking or maybe you just don't know enough about arnold the guy is a natural born actor you simply can not be as succsessful in the movie's as arnold has been and continues to be without the ability to act
how many movies has he made? how many millions have his movies made. he's not anthony hopkins or morgan freeman but he definately can act. and govern the 7th largest economy in the world and if politics doesn't require extreme acting skills then nothing does.
I was really enjoying this Jim Carrey comedy, up until the scene where his police officer character's alter-ego decides to help himself to some breast milk from a lady feeding her baby in the park. This movie's comedic elements are pretty distasteful and lack class.

NOT CLASSY OR TASTFUL BUT INCREDIBLY FUNNY
June 1, 2012
I get that it's not everyones cup of tea with one pinky sticking up but pur comic genius isn't always tasteful or classy sometimes it's shocking and slaps you right in the face this is a ferrelly bro's movie and jim carry is a comic genious like it hate it or whatever the man is creative and a superlative actor not eveyone on the planet understands this but those who do no doubt enjoy the hell out of his movies comedy or drama ...if you require your comedy to be tasteful classy and organized then i suggest you look no further than the proper drama section next time...me i like it all or most of it anyway.
Rarely does a film has such an immediate and emotional impact as John Carter. The story is a 100 year old classic, and bringing it to the big screen by the director of Wall-E and Finding Nemo was a labor of love, and it shows throughout. The film gets better with repeat viewings, which is why you'll love having this in HD and in your library. I can't recommend it highly enough. You will have a blast.

Great movie to have and watch over again so glad i bought it so much work went into it and you can really tell still don't understand why it got any bad reviews it doesn't make any sense.
Okay, Die Hard is one of my all time favorites, so I was stoked to see this release on sale for $9.99 at my store. With that said, I have already exchanged my copy twice, and the bluray will not load in my slim Ps3. As it is a game system, my firmware is at the latest release. I have been on AVS forums and other users have experienced the same problem with their copy's, on different bluray players from LG and even Panasonic. Buyer beware as BB has a strict return policy on copyrighted entertainment. I am sure they will allow an exception if you run into the same issue I am having. I will call 20th Century Fox to consult with a representative regarding the issue.

I THINK IT'S A SONY ISSUE
March 3, 2013
I took my first return in AND they put it in a old samsung blu-ray player and it worked fine but it definately with not work on my sony BDP S590. TOOK IT IN TWICE to exchange and none of them worked for me.
I gave this review 1 star only for the fact that the Dolby True-HD soundtrack is totally whacked! The movie itself is fine (for what I've been able to see it could be a reference disc for video & audio if it didn't have this issue) but this blu-ray is unwatchable due to the bad audio coding. I've been through 2 copies and both are messed up and unplayable on any of my 3 blu-ray players (all with current firmware updates, etc.). There's at least 4 times where the audio drops out and then the video freezes. So far Sony has not said what they plan to do (if anything) to fix the issue and offer customers a swap out for the flawed disc's. The only fix I've read about for Oppo owners (I have a BDP-83) is to switch the HDMI setting from Bitstream to PCM but we shouldn't have to do that in order to watch this film! Sony needs to fix the issue, repress the disc's and offer a swap to those of us that bought it. I'm about to take copy #2 back to Best Buy and see if they will now refund my money now that it's well known that all these disc's are bad!

I don't think sp

I doubt best buy will refund your money i had similar issues with DIE HARD ONE on blu-ray taking it back 4 times in total and each time they only let me swap it out and the 4th time they let me swap it for die hard 2 which works fine. so good luck with your refund after it's been opened.
