Those who obtained it through a store or other respectable
distribution systems, how was the picture and sound quality.

Ive heard lesser things said about Warner's questionable encoding
so I wanted a more honest opinion on it.

I made the mistake trying to read some of the hd reviews on it..
One so reviewer spent 90% of the review damning the movie to
the darkest pits of heck. (If you did not like the classic why would
you review the remaster) The reviewer went out of his way to find
everything horrible ever posted about the movie. The movies is not
a documentary theres no reason to go out and try to find technicalities
based on history.

I decided this was going to be my first blu-ray movie to start off with.
(I loved the original)
