Movie...

OH MY GOD!!! Start salivating folks, this is one of the best DVD releases this year so far! This DVD package is crazy. One of the best DTS tracks ever, some of the best video quality there is, and more extras than you can shake a stick at! This, my friends, is how you release a special edition DVD! Bravo Fox!

I didn’t get a chance to see this in the theaters, so I have been looking forward to its DVD release. I am glad that I wasn’t disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, I have seen better movies, but this film has a lot going for it. For one, this is one of the few movies where you believe every special effect. The movie is filmed on a grand scale, and they used two ships during the filming. One was dry docked and one was out at sea. This helps us believe the story because they were really filming out in the ocean. Almost like someone smuggled in a few cameras back in the 1800’s. The movie looks real, and therefore it feels real. You can hardly make out any special effects, as they were rendered with perfection.

Well, i'm one of those that did NOT catch this one in the theatres and was waiting on a review to determine if I should give it a rental. Having read this it's obvious to me that I should skip it .








Just kidding...I'll give her a shot :D
Thanks for the review, MMB.

I really don't think there's a place to copy and paste others' reviews on the forum. I know I'd be pretty darn pissed if someone took our site's reviews and copy/pasted them elsewhere, plus even made it look like it was an original review. Please don't do this in the future. Thanks.

Well, the "MMBoy Presents: Master and Commander - 2 Disc DVD Review" headline may have indicated that you were actually writing a review rather than just posting someone else's.

Maybe you should just call it "[Title] review online" and put the URL in the body of the message? That way everbody will be clear on the nature of the review, and nobody can accuse you of being evil or twisted or randomly stealing cheese from innocent virginal schoolgirls.

Ah! Now the question is twofold: Where did they hide the cheese, and are they that innocent after all?
