Movie Reviews of Lethal Weapon [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Despite the description this is not the Special Edition.
Summary: 3 Stars
This is strictly a review of the *technical aspects* of the Bluray version.
The quality of the transfer to Bluray is so-so. The description on Amazon states this is the Special Edition which has the extra and frankly relevant footage cut from the theatrical. It doesn't.
The audio is up to par but the transfer lacks the pop of a good session in the bay when it was done. Definitely tell this was not a "hands on" transfer.
I don't remember if the original movie was 2:35:1 or not, but this Bluray version is 1:85. I know the rest of the series on Bluray is 2:35:1 so it's kind of a let down that it's missing from here.
Movie Review: Great Movie Poor Blue-Ray Quality
Summary: 3 Stars
As much as i love this movie, I was turned off by the poor job that was done on the tranfer to Blue-Ray quality.
Save your money, Hopefully a better version will be released in the future.
Movie Review: I LOVE Lethal Weapon...just not this copy.
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm a Blu-ray enthusiast, and a Lethal Weapon enthusiast. So, I was VERY disappointed in both the quality of the Blu-ray formatting for this (it looks like DVD quality), but what REALLY mad me upset is the fact that it's not the directors cut. I guess that perhaps it was a bit naive of me to assume that it would be, but come on, this is BLU-RAY we're talking about here! I was not impressed. Not to mention that the seller said it was in "Good Condition", but the spine and back of the sleeve was severely crumpled and torn. Had this been a good quality Blu-ray conversion, and it been the directors cut, I would have cared not regarding the crumpled sleeve. However, as it was not the case, the crumpled nature was the straw.
P.S. I just checked on Amazon, and there's STILL no Director's Cut available. Until there is, I will not be buying any Lethal Weapon films on Blu-ray.
Movie Review: OK film not great transfer to Blu-Ray
Summary: 2 Stars
For one thing the menu on mine doesn't work and I cannot change the audio track or the subtitles. It's a default that doesn't sit well with this reviewer. The movie itself truly doesn't stand the test of time because it seems like pure drivel now and is not very relevant.Movie Review: I Hate Mutilated Movies
Summary: 1 Stars
I love this movie since its release back in 1987. If you ask me I give it 5 STARS but not for the Blu-ray edition as well the DVD edition, those are 0 star, but I had to put something 'cause I'm supposed to rate the movie. This review is not about the movie but about the censorship that has been prevailing since it's first release on DVD. And again it's the same on the Blu-ray edition. I'll make the long story short: Gary Busey (Mr. Joshua) enters Sgt. Murtaugh's house and there's Scrooge in a movie on TV asking what day it is and Mr. Joshua screams: "It's f...ing Christmas!", but the audio is altered with noise and the only thing one hears is "Christmas". The VHS edition of the movie has the original audio. And at the end of the movie when Lt. Murtaugh (Danny Glover) says: I'm too old for this sh..", the last word is edited, something that doesn't happen in the VHS edition. Can someone tell me why? Has Disney once again stuck its finger in a movie? I look at the box, it says Warner. So, after all the killing and blood they want to make it PG 13 or what? I've heard much worse things in other movies, "sick MF", "SOB", etc.
Studios, leave movies how they are, originally intended, don't mutilate movies with visual and, in this case, audio censorship. Is the ghost of William Harrison Hays lurking around? It's like the James Bond movies. I used to love Sean Connery smoking and drinking. Daniel Craig's Bond doesn't smoke, hardly drinks ... come on, can you imagine Sgt. Martin Riggs not smoking, not drinking and not cursing? It will be a Mary Poppins movie.
I won't deny the quality of the image of the movie is better, hell, it's gotta be, we're talking Blu-ray here and I even bought it. But, ... I still keep my VHS version of the movie.
