Default Criticism of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Review.

I'm afraid to say that the reviewer of this one:
https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-G...y-Review/4355/
Has given a very inaccurate review!

"Given the source material, the transfer is as sharp as it could be, with the stubble on leathery faces rendered clearly and textures, like cloth, showing fine detail"
"I should note though, that in several of the close-ups, the actors seem to step a bit too close to the lens and the focus becomes uncharacteristically soft."

"There's a thin, almost unnoticeable layer of grain on the image, so thin, actually, that I have to wonder if the restorers used any DNR techniques. And if so, they did an amazing job, because the film exhibits no evidence of DNR's usual blurring and smearing."


I just got my copy yesterday, excited to finally have it in my possesion I popped it in my PS3 witness the marvelous transfer, not to watch but to confirm how good it actually looks.
I was shocked to say the least, I sat about 3 feet of my tv and the very first thing I noticed, WAS DNR.
I told myself that this could not be true, so I continued to fastforward to other scenes, {And I'm not exaggerating!} One shot looked like a moving Monét painting, seriously!
[Show spoiler]

I don't know if the reviewer decided to ignore the "in your face" DNR and decided to lie a little or if the reviewer didn't do a very good and thourough review.

This review made the decision for me to order it, I trusts the reviews here and they're usually truthful and right on the money.
I'm very dissapointed, if the review was more truthful I would have never ordered it and it would've saved me $11.99.
I hereby implore the owners of this site to please revise the review of this release and give a more accurate review of what this disc represents.
Thank you. - Qillaq
