O.K. I'm going to chime in for a second and give my two cents. After reading all the horrible reviews of this movie I decided to stay away. I was then able to pick it up for real cheap, so I did and watched it. I can see both sides of the argument but I don't think either one is 100% right or wrong in their points.

Is the blu-ray better than the dvd....ABSOLUTELY. Both the video and audio (don't forget the audio

) are much better than the dvd counterpart. I am happy I purchased this movie and find the quality to be just fine.

Now, is this a great transer....NO. As it has been stated over and over and over again, this transfer has ton's of EE and DNR and for many that is unacceptable. I completely understand where these people are coming from. A "proper" release should have addressed these issues and given an image that is more representative of the version seen in theaters.

Given that, it comes down to a matter of preference as to what you consider terrible and unwatchable. For now I find the issues to be something I can overlook. And before you go saying that I shouldn't have to overlook anything I agree, but that's not my point. My point is, it is all subjective to the individual as to what is considered terrible. Simple as that.
