Movie Reviews of Blood Diamond [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Brings Light to Previously Obscure Issue
Summary: 4 Stars
Good movie that brings light to somewhat obscure geo-political issue. I'm not a fan of Leonardo Dicaprio but Jennifer Connelly is hott in this movie. Plenty of action but not really my genre.
Not much else to write about a movie really.
Movie Review: Good action and story
Summary: 4 Stars
Really good movie that shows some crazy stuff that happens for control of diamonds in africa. A lot of really graphic violence and realistic affects too. It got passed me in the theatres and when it came out on video it was well worth watchingMovie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I had my doubts about this movie since I'm not a Leonardo DiCaprio fan, but this is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Great story and awesome action sequences. This movie is a must buy for blu-ray owners.Movie Review: Hollywood Tarnishes What Could Have Been a Great Film
Summary: 3 Stars
We really enjoyed the story, learning about the violence, depravity, corruption, and cruelty that goes into the diamond trade. However, I wish that a less Hollywood-type Director had crafted this movie. The acting was very good and I don't know how authentic DiCaprio's "Rhodesian" accent is, but it's a powerful film, and I do recommend it.
What ruined it for me were the typical shoot-'em-up and chase scenes, where your star can manage to run in an open street while people are getting cut down left and right, yet manage to dodge bullets on more than one occasion.
And it starts to get ridiculous how many moving, beautifully acted scenes happen while the characters are supposed to be running for their lives. We pause for these interludes, then, when the characters have finished their emotionally charged moments, the bad guys, out of respect for these actors' close-ups, I guess, start charging after them again, and the action blasts on.
A flawed, yet captivating story, that'll make you think twice about the real price of those beautiful diamonds.
Movie Review: Get the HD DVD version
Summary: 3 Stars
The HD DVD version is the first and only title on either format to offer exclusive online content, as well as picture in picture. Blu-ray can't do any of that, in fact all existing players are already obsolete and will never have those features. If you want Blu-ray's advanced features, you'll have to buy another player when they come out late this year. Those are the facts ma'am, not FUD.
And to the poster below: Warner makes the HD DVD VC-1 encode first, then ports that to Blu-ray. So much for your superior video and audio argument. BD just gets a copy of the HD DVD version, which is why both will look virtually identical.
