Ran Masterworks DVD: how is the quality?
I had only read great reviews about this disc and about how much of an improvement it was over the original disc and was all set to buy it but I remember someone a few days ago either here or on hometheaterforum.com mentioning this disc in a thread about worst looking discs....
Can anyone that owns this disc comment on its' picture? I'm confused as to where that comment came from, I just checked out the dvdtalk.com review which said the picture quality was wonderful.
I'm a big fan of Kurosawa and was looking at trying to pick up this and Throne of Blood: Criterion Collection at the same time.
Thanks for any response!

The picture is really dark and the colors look metallic. I hate it.

Reading all that just leaves me confused, so for now (unless I impulse buy it, or find it really cheap), I'm just keeping my crappy old version and hoping for a re-rerelease someday.

Well, it's anamorphic and it's better than the other crappy release. It's worth the upgrade for that alone. However, it still has some serious issues, as I posted in the thread that Matt925 posted the linkage for... EE out the wazoo, color timing, reel change marks, subtitle errors, etc...
