No. His caps are fine, and they fall right in line with what Capsaholic has.

Jesus this looks absolutely pitiful. While I personally would have tamed the warmth about 5-10% on the MGM disc, the new one looks absurd.

Also, loss of depth here in the whites. While this one doesn't look as blue, and there are many good shots in the film, some of it looks hideous.

Again, not all scenes look awful, but this white is gross. Something is just wrong with it. All it would take is a tweak of say 15% and it would look so much better. I don't know what happened.

Check the blue vase out there on the table. It's completely teal now. That isn't what it was supposed to look like IMO, but that isn't the problem. It just looks bad.

Also, the artwork for this release is way over the top for me.

Still, like is said earlier it is possible HDR would make this look right. IDK. HDR has fixed issues like this a bit in the past, but this still looks a bit weird.
