2008 Blu-Ray Of The Year?? - Blu-ray Forum

Frank White · 12-28-2008, 04:02 AM

As the year comes to a close, i think its time for this thread. What do you think was the best blu-ray of '08? My vote goes to The Incredible Hulk . The PQ is just top notch, and it has one of the best audio on blu thus far. The movie also has a good cast and enough action to keep you on the edge of your seat. I already know The Dark Knight will get 75% of the votes.

75% tdk? nah

iron man? yea lol

i think the majority here will say the dark knight lol but there were a few great releases this year..the godfather restoration being my favorite

WALL-E was the best Blu-ray release this year in my opinion. Great picture and audio. Disney seems to make the best BD's. Runner up would have to be The Thing. For a film originally released in 1982, the BD has a most impressive PQ and AQ.

While Iron Man and TDK are exceptional, the Blu of the Year award goes hands down to Baraka.

Canada · 12-28-2008, 04:35 AM

I would have to go with WALL E, Sleeping Beauty, Iron Man, or The Dark Knight. I can not belive I just voted a WB Blu Ray as one of the best of the year. Because half my posts this year were constantly bashing WB for lack of lossless.

New Years resolutions for Studio's

WB: High bit rate video transfers, all movies have Dolby True HD, it's ok if classics like Casablanca and The Adventures of Robin Hood have mono on them.

Fox/ MGM: Have more special features.

If there's a uber special edition DVD all extras should be on the Blu Ray.

Instead of Casablanca just coming in that special edition box, there should be a movie only edition.

Blu-Ray of the Year?

The only good Batman film to be released on Blu-Ray this year.
Well worth the upgrade from the previous DVD. The new extras were fantastic.

Honorable mentions to the POTA: 40th Anniversay Set, Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Indy IV, and Sleeping Beauty.

GOAT · 12-28-2008, 05:00 AM

this should be a poll with like the 20 most logical choices and then "other"

my vote - Sleeping Beauty

shadow72 · 12-28-2008, 05:27 AM

I vote The Incredible Hulk.

You instigated that on purpose,

JonD7 · 12-28-2008, 05:56 AM

Hellboy II for me.

Blu Titan · 12-28-2008, 06:32 AM

Has to be TDK, not for the movie itself but for what it is doing for the format. By 12/31/2008 I estimate 2 million TDK BD copies sold (US) and that is where we are at.
