Just bought used
$9.99 Watchmen - blind buy

Kung fu Panda used $9.99 - blind buy

Independence day used $9.99- saw it years ago on dvd. I hope the quality is ok.

Batman1980 · 04-01-2010, 07:12 PM

Watchmen, to me is the best comic book film ever.
Never seen Kung Fu Panda.
Independence Day is pretty much reference quality for a blu.

ts0323 · 04-01-2010, 07:16 PM

You did fine, and Kung Fu Panda is a very good movie.

Chordata · 04-01-2010, 07:17 PM

Watchmen's good, I spent $13 on it and wouldn't spend a penny more.

BlackMamba · 04-01-2010, 07:17 PM

I originally had no interest in seeing Kung Fu Panda, but when I did (on a plane) I LOVED it! Bought it on blu when it came out.

Oh, and of course ID4 is a classic alien-themed summer blockbuster

Q? · 04-01-2010, 07:18 PM

Wow!
Good job

boxterduke · 04-01-2010, 07:20 PM

I never seen ID4 on blu but I would not buy it myself, its a movie that did not age well and its cheesy.

As for the other two, well done sir.

Enjoy your weekend watching them

Great price for this.
I am a big fan of this film and Zack's work in general.

One of the few animated films I would purchase and you got it for $5 less then the Walmart price, which is a good price.

One of those films that, if flipping channels, I will stop and watch, but would never think to purchase and ACTIVELY put on. I think this was going to around $14 at Walmart so again, you came in under the curve.

Good job.

KilloWertz · 04-01-2010, 07:23 PM

You did a great job with all three. I love Watchmen and Independence Day, and they are both very good Blu-Rays. I have never seen Kung Fu Panda, but it is considered a to be a great disc and enough people like the movie. Not to mention the fact that you only paid $30 for them.

zahinn · 04-01-2010, 07:23 PM

Panda is good.
Watchmen is okay for viewing once or twice. Then you will find yourself just skipping to the good scenes. Its a GOOD mess.

I always hated Independence day D:

seabterry · 04-01-2010, 07:34 PM

I watched Watchmen on Blu-ray the day it was released and I HATED it. I know everyone on these forums loves it, and I can see why, but I thought it was the biggest letdown of last year for me.

I didn't like Kung Fu Panda, but I can see why kids love it. I'm sure my daughter would like it, too.

I have always liked ID4, but have never seen it on Blu.

Regardless whether I liked these movies or not, $9.99 is a good deal on any Blu.

SquidPuppet · 04-01-2010, 07:39 PM

ALL 3 movies SUCK and you paid way too much.

[Show spoiler]

Hoosier205 · 04-01-2010, 07:39 PM

Watchmen is unwatchable, but that has everything to do with the plot/script/acting and nothing to do with the picture quality.

Playmaker88 · 04-01-2010, 08:02 PM

You did well. I liked Watchmen but its not for everyone. Kung Fu kicks arse on Blu. And I dont like ID4 AT ALL. BUT my wife loves it and we watched it on blu. It looks and sounds great. The first hour is particularly good then it just goes to cheesy... If you have a system crank it for all of them

SteelPen · 04-01-2010, 08:38 PM

2 out of 3 isn't bad!

ragingbull · 04-01-2010, 09:11 PM

I've never liked ID4, can't speak to the Blu. My kids like Kung Fu Panda and I rented the Blu, looked great to me. Watchmen, despite its flaws, is well worth ten bucks IMO, heck I'd watch it just for the 'maximum movie mode".

Of the three Kung Fu Panda is my fave, then Watchmen, then ID4. But for the price all 3 are great buys. I haven't seen ID4 on blu yet though.
