Again, I'm not sure where you're getting this. What I'm assuming is that a movie shot in 1973 will look like a movie shot in 1973, and will slot into the range of looks the technology of the time...

How do you deduce that?
What I'm saying is that those are frequent characteristics of the movies of the time, not (inherently) flaws. Movies didn't have that modern digital polish, DPs couldn't...

It shouldn't be based on limitations of copying and projection, it should be based on the inherent look of the movie's photography. Enter The Dragon looks like an unholy mess of dupes which doesn't...

To make the proverbial omelette, you have to break some eggs, and to bring a transfer up to projection contrast you have to clip or compress the extremes of brightness. I feel like a broken record...

None of these transfers are from a first-generation source (barring the IMAX footage in TDKR and TDK).

I don't see what the problem is with revising the review :shrug:
It's a review. It's meant to guide people's purchases. What is the value of preserving it for posterity, exactly?

They did alright on TDKR. They could do better if they went back to the original negative for all 3 films.
