Land of Whimsy

These are the hands that ruined a movie

What the hell do you call this? Good grief, it looks like someone took a dump and sealed it between the two layers of this BD-50. This is one of the worst high definition transfers I’ve ever seen, and it reflects very badly on Disney that they thought it was in an acceptable state for release. I’m not convinced that any additional commentary is necessary on my part: just look at the pictures, as they do a more than adequate job of conveying the sheer awfulness of this disc.

They probably followed the golden rule:
Crappy movie = crappy Blu-Ray

GONY is a crappy movie? YMMV, but wow.

This transfer is the Highlander dvd of HD releases. It'll become legendary.

Someone at Disney must hate Marty Scorsese, because this looked like bum on DVD too.

Yeah I hate this movie. I hated fat Leonardo DiCaprio in this, I hated Camron Diaz in this, and I hated Daniel Day-Lewis in this (and I usually love the guy).
And the movie could have been 30 minutes shorter - at least!

There isn't one good thing I can say about this movie.

It's got some awfully nice hats in it.
