Well, at least the extras look good and hopefully so is the transfer.

I watched the Prime HD version last week after seeing it mentioned in this thread - looked fabulous, so i'm expecting the BD to be great.

I love this movie and am so glad a widescreen version is available.

Yeah, they really need to use the yellow cover art. The E.T.-esque cover is just awful.

Whatever gave you that impression?

The fact I never recalled seeing commercials advertising the movie as child, and my exposure to the film was through video promos in another film. I'd just assumed it was DTV release instead of an actual theatrical film.

I haven't seen this movie in widescreen since I saw it in theaters in 1996 and so this will be great to see this film finally in it's OAR after all these years.

Sorry to burst your bubble but Matilda will always be twice or triple the movie Bad Boys II will ever be, despite the fact they are totally different genres. Im glad its getting its recognition over nonsense action sequels that are just noise.
