Americans tend to notice PAL-speedup because we've never encountered it. I'm being honest when I say that every single PAL-sped-up DVD and BD I've seen looks distracting.

I'm not judging the image quality of the disc, I never suggested I was. I'm speaking solely about the disc using a 25fps master when the film was shot at 24fps. I find that unacceptable in the age of HD.

I'm not sure what value you're suggesting there would be to watching this particular disc before speaking about this general technical issue, running a film 4% faster than was intended will look the same as on any other disc.
