2      Kingdom of Heaven  Looks fab!


3      Batman Begins


4      Hellboy 1 2 not so good


5     Star Wars Trilogoy DVD Roll on BD versions

If that's the case, it's very disappointing! I've held off buying it on dvd (£12.98 on amazon) in the hope that the blu ray would come out soon, but if it's not going to be very good, I may as well pick it up cheaply online on dvd.


Where did you hear that it wasn't going to be good? They're taking their time releasing it, and I was hoping it would look amazing.

Re: Top 5 Blu rays or Dvds of all time for you?

a friend of mine downloaded them from some torrent site , he said the quality wasnt very good for hd , but to be fair , downloads are not always the best , and if they release a special quadrilogy boxset on bluray maybe that will be good , hopefully ,  i would watch , 1 and 2 , as for 3 and 4 ?? not for me ..

Re: Top 5 Blu rays or Dvds of all time for you?

what about this script for avp3 ?? not my words but might be good..

 

I want AVP3 to be set far into the future and in space. The
Predators have created an alien farm on a huge spaceship where humans
are bred purely to allow the aliens to breed. However, umknown to the
Predators one of humans is actually a remade Bishop from Aliens. Bishop
works with the humans to escape from the alien farm and flee to a
nearby planet. There follows a massive pursuit where the Predators use
the aliens like dogs to go after the humans. But the Predators are
unable to handle the aliens and they turn on them.


Meanwhile
the humans have found that the planet was originally mined by humans
many thousands of years ago and then abandoned. They are able to get
some of the heavy machinery to work, including the loaders most
memorably used by Ripley to wrestle with the alien mother in Aliens. So
now we have a three way battle to take over the planet. I wont spoil
the ending by telling you who wins. There will also be loads of
explosions and gratuitous nudity from the human females.
