Title: Movie to Tape/DVD Sux!!!
Review: The trilogy is excellent, probably the benchmark for all samurai films to aspire to. The subtitles are very good in their translation. The transfer to VHS and DVD were absolutely HORRIBLE!!! UNBELIEVABLE that this is the "CRITERION COLLECTION"!!! A total waste of time especially since Amazon won't take them back...As stated before, the movie is incredibly dark and much of it is unviewable. It isn't real letterbox so the figures are skewed. The subtitles, absolutely essential to feel the emotions of the characters, is almost illegible. The lousiest transfer I've ever had the misfortune to see and waste money on...These idiots should have gotten in touch with the artisans who did the transfer for the "Zatoichi" series to see how it's done RIGHT...Un-frigging-believable...this crap should be immediately pulled from recirculation.
