This bare-bones release does nothing to contribute to the capabilities of the supposed 'up and coming' Blue-Ray format. Perhaps that is why the disc is so cheap in comparison with other Blue-Ray titles. If you own any version of T2 on standard dvd, you're better off.

This Blue-Ray version of 'Commando' presents image quality that is nearly identical to the standard dvd director's cut, the only question being - where are all the bonus features that are on the regular dvd? Perhaps they're hiding somewhere, but they're certainly nowhere to be found on this disc, which isn't worth buying in my opinion.

This Blue-Ray version of 'Christmas Story' presents almost nothing new compared to its standard dvd counterpart. Unless you don't have it on dvd already, I'd say skip it.

Not Really Worth It If You Already Have on DVD
on April 22, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
This Blue-Ray version presents so-called upgraded picture quality over the standard definition dvd, although I don't really notice a huge difference. While this disc faithfully ports over all the special features from the previous 2-disc dvd special edition, it really offers nothing new much new in terms of extras. Unless you're a person who just has money to burn, I wouldn't recommend buying this one unless you don't already have it."

Not Really Worth It If You Already Have on DVD
on April 22, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
This Blue-Ray version of 'Blazing Saddles' presents slightly upgraded picture quality, the only question being - is it that much better than standard dvd as to warrant spending the moeny if you already own it? Probably not. While this disc faithfully ports over all the special features from previous dvd edition, it really offers nothing new much new in terms of extras. So the bottom line is, do you feel like spending a good chunk of money for picture quality that will only be slightly noticeable when viewed on a high quality large widescreen HDTV? Unless you're a person who just has money to burn, I'd recommend just buying the special standard edition dvd and saving yourself about $20."

![Lethal Weapon Legacy [3 Discs] [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
This three-pack of discs from Warner Bros. collects the director's cuts editions of the first three Lethal Weapon films. Each disc contains extended versions featuring previously unreleased footage, and theatrical trailers. Each movie is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves their original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. This is an excellent package for hardcore fans of Richard Donner's slam-bang series.

In my opinion, the 'Lethal Weapon' director's cuts just aren't worth owning unless you are head-over-heels for the films. But if you are, then this over-priced box set is for you.

Fans of the forever bickering cop team of Murtaugh and Riggs take note. All four of the Lethal Weapon films are packaged together in this gift set from Warner Bros. Each of these titles (Lethal Weapon, Lethal Weapon 2, Lethal Weapon 3, and Lethal Weapon 4) is available individually, but this package offers them all together for a reasonable list price.
Posted by: kevman79
In my opinion, the only two 'Lethal Weapon' films worth owning are the first and maybe the fourth. Save yourself money and buy the titles individually.

'Lethal Weapon 3' is yet another poor sequel to a first film that was mediocre at best. Dvd transfer is acceptable, but the film just isn't worth owning in my opinion.

Richard Donner's smash follow-up to Lethal Weapon comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include production notes, a theatrical trailer, and a behind-the-scenes featurette. A director's cut of the film has been released on DVD, but less avid fans will do fine with this release, especially considering it is less expensive.

The continuing saga of Indiana Jones, occurring chronologically before RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, finds Indy venturing into India in search of magical stones. Along the way he tries to save hundreds of children enslaved by a leftover Thugee cult. Of all the series, this one plays most like the Saturday serials to which George Lucas and Steven Spielberg were paying homage. Director Steven Spielberg Star Harrison Ford, Kate Capshaw, Amrish Puri, Roshan Seth, Philip Stone, Ke Huy Quan Special Features Anamorphic Widescreen Audio (unspecified) English Runtime 118 minutes.

'Temple of Doom' is a terribly pathetic film, especially compared to the first Indiana Jones movie. This dvd contains the same widescreen transfer as released in 2003, plus some new, but minor bonus material that don't make this one worth buying if you already own the 2003 box set.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
