Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Brilliant all the way Comment: If you are a fan of the Pirates series, this is a must-have. The movie is good fun, carried almost entirely on the shoulders of Johnny Depp, but the small amount of character development you see with Lee Arenberg and Mackenzie Crook (the oh so eloquent pirate) is a welcome development. The picture quality is outstanding, and this one really shows why you should upgrade to HD at this point in time. Customer Rating: Summary: Brilliance Comment: I'm writing this review purely because I think its shameful that this film currently has a 3 star rating because it doesn't work on some people's hardware..Surely you should be posting a negative comment on the hardware in questions area, and not the DVD as it isn't the discs fault.. Agro aside, we'll get to the review: Visually, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is the greatest blu-ray movie I have seen so far, and believe me I have seen plenty. From start to finish the film's clarity and depth are astounding, colour rendition is immaculate as is the transfer from source. There is hardly any grain (and by this I mean none, but some people tend to split hairs) and the picture is so detailed that the film takes on an entirely new life and brings an entirely new experience. If you're after a visual feast, this will fill you for years. The sound follows the footsteps of the video. It is immaculate. Perfectly equalised and as clear as crystal. I won't say too much but all I will say is that its hard to imagine it better. Extras: Almost too many..who am I kidding? It's brilliant, something like 13 hours of entertaining extra features to keep you busy! I especially like the training sequences and the game! In conclusion? If you've seen the film before and don't know whether or not to spend the money to see it in HD, do it. Seriously, you don't know what you're missing. Even if you haven't seen it, and you want your first viewing to be in blu-ray trust me, you will not be disappointed with the quality! Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome! Comment: POTC: DMC Blu-Ray (and POTC1) are absolutely awesome. Disney have done a real good job in delivering full HD 1080p picture with 48kHz uncompressed 5.1 audio, with amazing results. Particularly impressive is the detail in Davy Jone's face and the part where Jack fires the gun to ignite the gunpowder on the Black Pearl. They have also included additional extras, along with the original extras from the DVD release (and Lost disc edition). To address the negative comments below.... This is not a fault with the discs, but is simply an issue with the capabilities of the said blu-ray players. But ultimately, why would one buy a standalone blu-ray player costing £500+, when one can get a PS3 for £400 that does the same job and can play games, view digital camera photos, play music, download movie trailers/games and browse the internet!!!?? The PS3 is by no means a half-hearted blu-ray player: It is HDMI v1.3 (i.e. capable of full HD 1080p playback) and the recent firmware release has upgraded it to 24Hz play back capable (the original framerate that movies are filmed in). And, did I forget to mention, it is wireless (or ethernet), so connects to your home broadband and updates itself automatically - no faffing around with burning discs from the internet to upgrade the firmware!! Also, the POTC blu-rays are region-free - i.e. you can buy them from Amazon.com for $24 (i.e. £12) and they will work on any blu-ray capable player. (Region free is detailed in the additonal info on Amazon.com - Bascially, movie studios restrict discs to regions in order to stagger the release across the globe - as these movies have been released on DVD before (and so some format is globally available), there is no need to stagger the blu-ray release) International postage is ~£15, but you've saved this if you buy at least 2 blu-rays!! I thus bought both POTC 1&2 with Planet Earth 4 disc blu-ray set - $100 down to $66 i.e. £32 - and not released by BBC in UK until November (and will probably be at least £50 then anyway!!) - a true showcase of colour to show off your HD TV!
