Movie Review: R-RATED Theatrical Cut, NOT UNRATED!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
The listing for this product is WRONG! For some reason, this is the R-RATED theatrical cut and not the UNRATED Director's Cut that appeared on DVD and VHS so many years ago. All of the deleted scenes from the DC release are contained on this disc (only in 480p standard-def), but this IS NOT the definitive version of the film. I'll have to buy this Blu-ray again when they release a DC version. The packaging for this Blu-ray release is gorgeous. It's like a hardcover book with the disc and several pages about the stars and the process of making the movie. If you MUST watch NBK in HD right now, it'll do the trick (though much of the film was shot in 16mm and grainy video anyway)- and in a pretty package- but not without a sacrifice of 2 minutes of important scenes. BUYER BEWARE!Movie Review: BLU-RAY REVIEW
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't have the greatest home theatre setup for judging a Blu-Ray professionally but I can say that in my humble opinion there was little wrong with the image or audio quality here. Colors were strong, image was sharp, alternate-format scenes (8mm, 16mm, video) all looked about as best as they should. There are plenty of entertaining supplements, including the "director's cut ending" (which is inferior) and I can say that I don't really miss the stuff Oliver Stone had to take out for this theatrical cut (4 minutes). Most of it is still in the deleted scenes.
If you're a completest then perhaps this edition isn't for you, but if you're just a fan of the film, get this Blu-Ray. About a minute of extended shots of violence does not a film make. I don't think it's really worth waiting indefinitely for the "Director's Cut".
Film: A-
Video: B+
Sound: (Tough call. I don't have surround.)
Movie Review: Awesome Mastering
Summary: 5 Stars
Above great picture and sound there comes a great booklike packaging featuring a booklet on the left and the disc on the right hand side. Beyond the proper restauration of this mediacritic masterpiece it's also dubbed in German 5.1, French 5.1, Italian 5.1 and Japanese 2.0 with region unlocked...so importing is an A1 option :o) Movie Review: Director's cut is much better..
Summary: 2 Stars
I was dissapointet because of this version of the movie.
There are so many cuts in relation to the director's cut on my old dvd.
Movie Review: Great Blu Disc!
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched my VHS of Natural Born Killers about 50 times. I didn't buy the DVD version because I thought that maybe Oliver Stone (or Warner) will produce a special-director's cult edition full of extras footage in near future. Now, finally in BD, I did a great deal: clear crystal image, perfect sound and a beautiful booklet. It couldn't be better!
