Particularly when the bulk of opinion is highly favorable, as is the case here. Long a champion of the underdog, I’m pretty good at sniffing out bullies, blowhards and complainers, and when I identify one, I try to give the object of their wrath special consideration. If their vitriol is well substantiated by others, that’s one thing. But if it’s not, I’m down for a purchase. So I guess I really owe this fellow a big thanks; his comments helped me decide to get it!

To each his own. But this has proven to be one of the more harshly reviewed Blu-ray releases in recent memory from a wide variety of sources despite the quality of the original program. Buying a product due to an over-reaction to comments from perceived "bullies, blowhards and complainers" seems pretty silly. Do you carry this process through every purchase? If so, you might want to look into a used Smart Fortwo automobile.
