Movie Reviews of Bullitt [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Great film, poor BD Quality!
Summary: 3 Stars

Well, I read reviews online before I got this and they said that it was not much of an improvement, but I wanted to replace my DVD's with BD's, so I got it anyway.

There is an imrpovement, but it is from the HD technology and not because there are improvements. Obviously, the colors are more accurate, the sound better and there are some HD elements, but overall - it looks not much better than the DVD SE on an UP-CONVERT DVD player!

There is a lot of grain and some out of focus moments, but I guess that is how it is in movie making. THe sad part is, this is the restored version that was on the SE DVD which was prepared for HD as is the case with nearly all DVD's today, which is why DVD's look better now.

My gripe is that there is no surround sound. I expect surround sound and everything video to be in HD on every disc. In the furtue I am sure that wil be the case, but you can skip this one if you have the SE DVD as this offers nothing new except being on one disc. It IS an improvement, but not by much. If you have BD, I know you will get it anyway...

Movie Review: A Classic Film,Cropped To Fit Your TV
Summary: 3 Stars

This is a classic film,which deserves a five star rating.But anyone interested in seeing it as it was originally filmed may want to hold onto their older DVD copy.As Amazon notes here,Bullitt was shot in the 2.40 to 1 aspect ratio,which means there should still be the usual black bars on a 16x9 set.Instead,Warner Video cropped the ends off to fill the screen.It's still a fantastic film,and the image quality is fine,but...
If I had known,I probably would not have bought it.

Movie Review: Needs projection on a 90" or better screen.
Summary: 3 Stars

Still a great movie. Even on my 50" 1080P plasma, the blu-ray version adds, but doesn't add significantly, to this action packed movie presentation. Projected on my neighbor's 90" screen does the trick. WOW! You've never felt it like that since you saw it at the movies.

Movie Review: It was better in the 60's
Summary: 3 Stars

Funny how you missed the repeating of the same scenes over and over to make up the car chase when you are a teenager. Good for a few memories and laughs.
