Movie Reviews of The Wizard
Movie Review: Awesome Movie, Horrible DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
Let me just say I love this movie. Have since I saw it in Theaters all those years ago. The movie quality was very good, and it was widescreen so you know it will be just like you remember it. It looked very nice running on both S-Video and Component (I tried both) on my LCD TV. Crystal Clear! The sound also was clear, but is not enhanced in any way for Surround, Dolby, or anything.
The DVD itself is lacking. The case is nice, but the DVD menus are horrible. In reality they don't exist. There are two options on the main screen; Play Movie and Languages. That's it. No Extras, Commentary, or even Scene Selection. The movie is divided into different scenes (you can jump around by navigating forward and back as usual with your remote buttons) but there is no menu option to flip through them. This makes it hard to skip to your favorite scenes, like the one with the Power Glove.
As for the Language option there is one choice; English subtitles for the hearing impaired. That's it. I though at least they would have French and Spanish subs, if not Spanish dubs. Nope.
If you love the movie like me get it. You may have a hard time finding it like I did (went to four stores) but its worth it so long as all you want to do is watch the movie. I was very disappointed that there were no extras, but not making a scene selection is just bad form. I know fans that could have, and would have, done a better job of putting the whole package together. At least the movie is high quality.
