So I popped this one in last night and watched it in its entirety. First time seeing the movie so I have nothing to compare it to, but damn if I wasn't impressed. Looks great, sounded solid and was an enjoyable revenge flick with the right humor and plenty of basic street violence. Nice little twists and enjoyable characters.
The more I watch these films the more I'm hard pressed to watch HD anywhere else. The differences between it and cable (and Boston is NOT bit-starved, so we get good stuff) is more and more noticeable with each viewing. I can see people saying this movie doesn't "pop" or stand out in an HD way, but what it does do is provide a very solid presentation of the film as I imagine Singleton would have wanted. It's clean and clear and free of background noise. If this is what's considered average, then we're in for some real treats as time goes on.
