Unforgiven

[Grethiwha]

Unforgiven is my favourite movie. Even though I was 99% certain it would be the same disc, I decided to pick it up today, just for the digibook.

I did a quick comparison and yes, it is undoubtedly the exact same disc. It's a fine disc, but it definitely could and should have been improved for such a release. That's disappointing, certainly.

On the plus side, the digibook is really nice. I own half a dozen of these things and this is the nicest looking one, I would say, and at 54 pages, the longest. So for that, for $20, Unforgiven being my favourite movie, it was worth it for me. Sort of.

Also, the pages didn't all fall out when I opened it up like on my copy of Se7en so that's a plus too.

I been waiting a while to pick up Unforgiven and nearly did so a few weeks back for $10. Glad I waited tho bcuz this digibook looks really sweet and the book is quite a fun read.

Yeah, I saw this digibook for $26.96 at Wal-Mart and said no. So I bought it on eBay for $20 shipped and sold my original version for $8. $12 was a good deal IMHO.

yes excellent deal. but the price only bothered me because of the lack of audio. i love this movie. and i cant wait to tear into those pages and read them. still, warner should have updated the audio.

Anyone know of any changes to this new edition? Audio? Studio? etc?

My guess is that Warner used the same disc with lossy audio and then threw in a DVD to make it a combo pack since Unforgiven has never been released as a combo. That's my one beef with Warner is that re-release the same disc so many times, but it obviously makes them money so I can't really hold it against them.

Mmmm, just watched this one again. Such a great movie, such a great image transfer, such a great audio ... no, I really can't say that last bit, can I?

Truth is, for a DD5.1 audio track, this one is excellent, and perhaps that's why it didn't get an upgrade. But every time I watch this, and listen to the ambient sounds (the wind on the plains, the rain on the muddy streets and the roll of the thunderstorm above the hills, the creaking of the wooden buildings in the night-time) and think how immersive they could have sounded ... well, it makes me lament that WB rarely seems to value just how much sound quality can contribute to a film.

Sigh.

watching my 1997 release of this film ( from the Eastwood collection series).. and it is so dark inside at night I can hardly see the faces .. is the BD a lot more brighter ??

I also don't like the first release of this title from 15 years ago .. it has a terrible menu screen ...
