High-Def Digest loves the Blu-ray but hates the movie itself:

The latest HD-DVD reviewed by Bracke, Harsh Times, got slammed. I know people feel he is biased, and he may very well be, but it is not as extreme as it may have once been.

Its the first site I go to everytime I turn on my computer. I've read every review but its the breaking news and info on new titles with release dates I have to know.

with all the ghost rider hate I kept hearing i was really expecting to movies to be terrible. It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. I guess negativity could bring greatness in the form of low expectations.

Absolutely, I enjoyed Spidey 3 for the same reason.

Some say they are biased, if they are it's not looking too good for Universal..

Look at my signature

Previous comments from ppl who liked Ghost Rider and Spider Man 3 just fine help remind me of why I don't read movie reviews. I trust one source only on how good movies are: me!

i agree, reviews are nice but sometimes i read a bad review but end up loving the movie, so i really dont read them anymore.

Scorxpion · 06-11-2007, 06:42 PM

Dont forget you are reading a review on totally Biased HD-DVD website called Highdefdigest.YOU can count on reviews which are faithfully to the content and Truth and nothing but the truth.

I can count on TWO WEBSITES blindly sometimes and really this is true

HOMETHEATERSPOT Because OF Mr.CHAD

DVDFILE i use to read review there since DVD get birth.

buckshot · 06-11-2007, 11:07 PM

i should get mine either tomorrow or the next, cant wait

Ascended_Saiyan · 06-13-2007, 04:00 AM

I really liked Ghost Rider! I just watched it and can't see why people were so critical of this action flick (maybe they read the comics). IMO, this was a very entertaining action movie.

On a side note, I seem to be able to tell a difference between TrueHD and LPCM (during the flaming credits is where I tested them). It's very slight, but none-the-less there. Maybe my ears are better than most, but I don't think so.

I've been reading BD reviews on DVDtalk.com and they've typically been right on for me, but no reveiw of GR just yet on what I've read on Amazon about the DVD version...but I bought the BR anyway, hell I couldn't pass it up I only paid $12.53 (after price match and gift card)...I'm still afraid to take the wrapper off after reading all the the "mixed" reviews (cheap bastard that I am)

. All 76 of the reviews either they loved it or hated it...I never had a chance to see it at the theater (Maybe because it was only showing for a week)

...my impression is that it's going to be one of the entertaining flicks and I'm not expecting much more.

TJandBLU-RAY · 06-13-2007, 09:16 AM

I thought it was fine. Glad I got it.

reiella · 06-13-2007, 02:30 PM

I loved the movie myself, but I don't think I would have liked it too much if I wasn't a rabid Ghost Rider fan.

i'm a ghost rider fan too. did you get that newest series. I forget what its titled but its by enis and crain. I only wish the movie was that dark. but I still loved it. I want a sequal. perhaps with Vengeance? that would be awesome.

a rabid ghost rider fan just sounds scary.

CJS234 · 06-13-2007, 02:40 PM

I am a big fan of this movie so I couldnt wait to get it on Blu-ray. It was awesome when I saw it in theaters and it was even better when I saw it on Blu-ray. I noticed that the bitrate of the movie stayed consistently above the mid 20s and I even saw it hit above 40 multiple times. This is a very nice encoding by Sony, better than their previous ones. Since they didnt have too many special features (which I don't care for anyway), they had a lot of room on the disc for the movie and they USED it. Good job Sony. The True HD audio was also fantastic. I don't even have a TrueHD system, but it sounded great coming out of my cheap 5.1 speakers

I can only imagine what it would sound like on a TrueHD system. Overall, I give this movie :

Picture Quality: 20 out of 10
Audio Quality: 20 out of 10
Special Features: 7 out of 10
Movie: 20 out of 10

Post what you thought of the Blu-ray

I know of two for sure. When his dad tells him about the helicopter stunt its longer and isnt just a flashback. Also the scene where he first turns into the rider is a bit longer (NICE!)

crunchywyte · 06-13-2007, 02:50 PM

I also enjoyed it very much, my 6 yr old son liked it too, he asked me if we could watch it again today.
