Movies that don't deserve to be on Blu-ray? - Blu-ray Forum

Maybe it's just me but it sure seems like there has been a lot of crap titles that the studios have released on Blu-ray. Don't get me wrong, there are still a lot of good titles and I own a quite a few but do we really need to see titles like Mr. Beans Holiday, Underdog or even Daddy Day Camp! These movies are targeted at kids who more than likely don't own a Blu-ray player or could give a rip about video or sound quality. I just can't even imagine what bone heads make these decisions.....hmm lets see should we release Underdog or Bad Boys? I know there's more to it than that but seriously half the titles are kids movies or old movies that are mediocre at best. Where's Batman Begins, National Treasure or even Ronin? ...... oh wait I forgot...the stuidos marketing departments seemed to think that Norbit, Happily N'Ever After or Out for Justice were what all of us Videophiles wanted? right? I don't know maybe it's just me.....

woah, hold on there newbie. my ps3 doubles as family entertainment on movie night. so movies like all animated movies and daddy day camp movies are great for families. obviously, you don't have a family b/c your ignorance shows in your comment above. who cares if movies are aimed at kids, do you really think that these companies think the kids are going to be buying the products. i'll answer it for you, NO, the parents are. besides there are plenty of people out there that don't have kids that buy these movies as well.

i hope you don't have any harry potter movies b/c those might be consider kids movies too.

to answer your question, its just you.

Welcome to blu-ray.com .....

Here's a thread already talking about this.
https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=30436

and here's my comment from that thread...

You answer you're own question. Answer "In My Opinion." That's the problem, everyone has there own opinion on what should be released, everyone has their own opinion on what they think is a good/bad movie. When trying to reach a wide range of people Studios have to release a wide range of movies.

By the way, Sleeping Beauty will be coming out this Fall.

Don't get me wrong, I sometimes wonder who's picking the releases too.

I think its just you; of course kids arent the main buyers, but many of the buyers have kids, and why wouldnt they want to pick up titles for their kids also...!? Im sure there are several fathers in here, who'd given the choice would rather get their kids a movie on bd than normal dvd!? it still counts as one in the collection, you support blu ray, plus you get to share a bd with your kids - family time...
BDA has to get as many people on board as possible, and that means everyone; no matter if they're kids, teens, grown up, punks, goths.. theres gotta be something for everyone..

Batman Begins, National Treasure -will surely come in time
Ronin - is available!?
Norbit, Happily N'Ever After or Out for Justice - are movies that launched in the cinema after the BD's starting selling, so theyre automatically launched on BD..

I am well over 20, and most of my movie (90%+) collection are family/animated movies. don't underestimate those titles

I stand corrected, the studios must know what they are doing then.

Its just you. I have a lot of kiddie movies in Blu Ray cause of my kids. Would I like to see some of the titles you mentioned, yes. But all movies of all kinds deserve the Blu Ray treatment. Besides, the visuals of a kiddie movie say CARS is some of the best in HD.

Sorry forgot to add

Ronin is already out on Blu-ray.
National Treasure will be release in the summer (2008)
Batman Begins should be release this year, mostly likely before The Dark Knight hits the cinema.

Mr. Beans Holiday is not on Blu-ray (US) so we don’t have to worry about it.

The other titles (Underdog, Daddy Day Camp, Norbit, Happily N’Ever, etc…) are movies that launched in the cinema after Blu-ray's launch, so they’re release at the same time (or about the same time) with the DVD release.

Hey when you have kids its good when you can pop in a movie and look at it with them.
I have alot of Disney title for my kids and for me.

After you are done watching the kids movie you can them pop in the adult movie and watch.
