Movie Review: Amazing transfer
Summary: 4 Stars

I have been consistantly impressed by the quality of transfers from old films, especially "The Searchers" and "Blazing Saddles". Anyone who contends that an identical VC-1 transfer looks differently on either of the two HD formats is looking at the world through format skewed glasses. The same encode looks the same in either format, unless some of the bits are getting lost in the blu ray data transfer because the bandwidth available is SO much greater than the low bitrate VC-1 transfer needs :)

The only disapointment I see in this transfer is that Warner chose to remain constrained by the size limitations of HD-DVD when using the VC-1 transfer for the Blu-Ray release, notice that because there was no space on the HD-DVD version for "extras" the Blu version didn't get extras either.

I can appreciate Warner staying format neutral, but the customer who chooses a technically better format deserves software that takes advantage of that superiority, not software that is simply warmed over and dumbed down to the least common denominator.

All that said, Blazing Saddles is a worthwhile addition to your Blu library.

Movie Review: Great Blu-ray print
Summary: 4 Stars

I have to believe that many of people that are reviewing the Blu-ray discs have a mind set that HD is better than Blu-ray. DVDtalk said the following about the Blu-ray version of Blazing Saddles; "Now that Warner has taken to using the same VC-1 encodings on Blu-ray that they originally prepared for HD DVD, the same movie released on both formats should be virtually identical from one to the other. In this case, the video transfer given to Blazing Saddles is nothing short of remarkable and belies its 30+ year age." And yet no matter what the experts say, there are people reviewing Blu-ray and comparing it to HD, with little or no objectivity and with the sole purpose of making HD look better. It's funny how politics creeps into everything.

Movie Review: Great Blu-Ray Release for a Great Old Film
Summary: 4 Stars

Blazing Saddles is an all time comedy classic. It has earned a fantastic release on Blu-Ray and I cannot imagine this film looking or sounding much better than it does here (considering that this movie was made in the mid 70's). For fans of this film it is a must own and all of the special features from the 30th Anniversary DVD have been ported over for this release.
