Sorry! Yeah so watched this again, i can highly recommend the audio and video in this. Watching it comparing to some of my other DVD's and it's just brilliant!

I Think I might of got lucky and managed to have my system dialed in because this movies audio was superb and well balanced all the way around. I think my Pioneer Elite 94 AVR did most of the work for me and then I just fine tuned it with a avia II disk and RS spl meter . This was a outstanding movie all the way around and my favorite of the year , Thanks much Ralph for your excellent review or I probably would have never bought it being that...

I was afraid of this one, especially after hearing so many bad reviews. Now I cant wait to give it a spin. Hopefully its better than part 3! Thanks Ralph and have a great Thanksgiving...

It's nice to read film lovers' raves about...
