Blu-Rays that disappointed you? - Blu-ray Forum

CheapChildren · 01-24-2008, 07:11 AM

What are some Blu-rays that you were unhappy with? Picture-wise, Extras-wise, etc.

JTStarkiller · 01-24-2008, 07:11 AM

Silent Hill didn't come with the extras on the standard DVD, which means I can't get rid of it. Really pissed about that.

Septimus Prime · 01-24-2008, 07:12 AM

Tekkonkinkreet.

The animation is so poor (in my opinion) that BD accentuates its flaws and makes it look worse.

Gone in 60 seconds: Big fan of the movie - but between the BD and the upscaled DVD through the ps3 - there really wasnt much difference

My personal winner as well. Awesome movie, Deadly SQ, but the PQ was rediculous. Oh what it could have been....

jk ...... only one that comes to mind was oceans thirteen ..... didnt impress me at all, the movie itself story and the blu just didnt have the same effect most do, a good blu has me heading out to buy more for the collection right after its over like an o so sweet drug.

Is it that disappointing? Looks good to me, but it was the first Blu-Ray I bought, and I only have a 32" 720p TV.

Ocean 13

And Troy, is wasn't bad, but boy could it been better with a full BD encode

I'd have to disagree. Not the best in terms of PQ by Touchstone, but I'd say that the DVD even upscaled is not even close in terms of PQ with the blu-ray version.

Oceans 13 wasnt that bad...The grain was on purpose...Overall the movie was as good as the first 2

Papi4baby · 01-24-2008, 07:56 AM

Shit i wish it was just grain, im talking about the shitty looking transfer. I like the movie, but it looked like crap, WAR is DVD looked 10 times better. Go back and watch it and tell me what you think of the part with the little chinesse guy in the elevator the whole scene looks like poop

But its the way it was shot...Even if it werent on purpose, the sacrafice is worth it cuz the movie made up for it

Mordak5 · 01-24-2008, 08:01 AM

Picture quality was no better than my DVD player (does not upscale).

Well then the Director should be fired, i dont find that artistic at all.

I dont see how it was shot like that, it looks like the blacks and color are all crush.

micks_address · 01-24-2008, 08:14 AM

Hitch is one that springs to mind.. also dissapointed with Speed. watched it last night after hearing it was a top transfer and wasnt impressed.. dont know if its much of an upgrade in terms of picture from the dvd upscaled..

kman72 · 01-24-2008, 08:34 AM

Personaly I regret bying Bram Stoker's Dracula. I love the movie, but it looked like VHS to me

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

wingnut0021 · 01-24-2008, 08:49 AM

The most disappointing Blu ray i have is transformers. Did they make this f'ing movie in North Korea? everything about it is all wack! The case was all weird, first of all it was this ugly red colour and second they misspelled blu ray (i think it was spelled HDVDD or something like that)

it didnt end up working anyway
