Movie Reviews of Barry Lyndon

Movie Review: Intricacies of Drama
Summary: 3 Stars

I was expecting some kind of British stiff upper lip period piece with quirky characters and lovable uncles and such. Instead, we get a lushly filmed drama of a man with whom we originally sympathize, but later begin to detest. A bit too long for my taste, with a few confusing or ambiguous scenes. I would recommend this film only if you have a few hours to spare and if you appreciate the intricacies of fine drama.

Movie Review: After taste was not paritcularly pleasant
Summary: 3 Stars

Does it make any sense to make such a beautiful movie, just to state a trivial truth that there are 1000s ways for a man to screw his own life?

Movie Review: NOT WHAT I REMEMBERED
Summary: 2 Stars

After about 30 years and several years of telling family members that Barry Lyndon was a really good movie, I finally purchased it. Well, the movie isn't what I remembered it to be. Nicely directed, good cinematography, but it is only a 70s movie and probably should stay there.

Movie Review: This release is NOT 16x9 enhanced!
Summary: 1 Stars

I just received this exact DVD from Amazon. Although the package art now carries a 2007 date, the disc inside is the same as the 2001 release. It is NOT anamorphically enhanced. In fact, the files on the DVD are dated 2001, so it literally is the exact DVD release in 2001 - the menu is the same as well. The only difference is this comes in a keep case rather than a snapper case. Such a shame that WB won't do better by this overlooked masterpiece.

Movie Review: Another Horrible Warner Film Transfer to DVD
Summary: 1 Stars

This is not an enhanced 16/9 widescreen. This is a horrible letterbox format. No excuse as the film was produced wide-screen. Just another sloppy and thoughtless Warner transfer of film to DVD in the US. Warner has a history of sloppy transfers.
