Title: A Sad Set
Product review: The only good news is that the people behind this release will obviously see all the negative press and know they blew it. The trilogy release sans extended cuts MIGHT have been welcomed to some degree if the transfer quality was better, but even on a 40 inch HDTV these are not taking advantage of what Blu-ray can do. On my 120 inch projection system the quality is quite mediocre. When you consider that these are not the full cuts of the movies the value shrinks to nothing.Just rent them and wait for the (hopefully) proper release. Meanwhile let's hope that the studios step up and really learn that sub-par releases like this will have reduced profits. No one I know wants to buy this for the reasons above and even casual fans walk away over the shorter cuts.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
