Thanks...
 

I just read the dvdfile reviews.
Thanks for the input.

I just watched the first 3 movies, and found dvdfile's review to be a bit harsh. These are older, not huge budget movies. They look as good as any other movies from that time. There were a few slightly blurred shots in Magnum Force, but they looked like the director's fault, not the transfer. The 5.1 sound was also pretty good on all 3- not very ambient, but effective during the action. I was watching on a 65" HDTV, so I can usually see any weak points in a transfer, and I thought the picture was fairly clear and detailed. Not as good as a new movie , but still very nice. Plus it's in glorious 2:35:1 widescreen. Since he said they got better as the series progresses, I'm sure the last 2 will be even better. If you like the movies, there's no question about whether or not to get them.

I was a little worried after reading the Dvdfile.com review. But feel much better are reading your message. Either way I was still going to buy this boxset anyway. Now if only CdNow would hurry up and ship my order out.

I have not watched all the films all the way thru yet but popped them all in & hit the highlights. I will agree that the DVDFile reviews were way too harsh. I thought the picture was excellent on all the films. The sound is good as well but I would have preferred more extras.

When I started this thread the dvdfile reviews had not yet been posted. I ordered the discs and then read the subsequent reviews. I have to totally disagree with the dvdfile reviews, stating how poor the video transfers are. The picture and sound are terrific on all five films. This collection is a must for Dirty Harry fans!

I've only watched the first three films so far, but I have to agree with the consensus here that the transfers look pretty damn good, especially for their age. the remastered 5.1 tracks sound excellent as well (moreso on <i>Dirty Harry & Magnum Force<i> than on <i>The Enforcer).</i>

Man, I forgot how awesome Magnum Force was. "This is a .44 magnum. The most powerful. . ." Watch this movie during a workout and I guarentee you can add 20 lbs to your bench max.
