KILL BILL picture quality
 
Does the last fight scene look dark to you? (Picture quality/Brightness wise)

matome 04-13-04 01:00 PM

Looked fine to me.

Groucho 04-13-04 01:01 PM

I think my DVD is defective. It keeps switching to black and white?

:lol:

Thankfully that won't be an issue for me. :)

I would like to piggyback this thread if I could and ask for comments on overall picture quality if possible?

DonnachaOne 04-13-04 01:08 PM

Well, I checked several reviews - no-one makes an issue of it being too dark, but everyone says it's a bit soft on details.

asianxcore 04-13-04 01:15 PM

yea I agree, the picture quality is solid. But I think its a tad soft at times.

sorry to go off topic, but did anyone also think the subtitles were too small?

QuiGonJosh 04-13-04 01:30 PM

The picture looks exactly has it should...sharp...defined...vibrant colors...and a bit grainy and soft to reflect the type of film...a throwback to 70's Revenge/Kung-Fu films...

REL77 04-13-04 01:42 PM

i thought it was a very good solid transfer, hopefully the SE will be top notch

Note for asianxcore:

You need a bigger TV :)

Looks great to me. I'd forgotten how PRETTY this movie is to watch till today.

Seantn 04-13-04 06:43 PM

Do I have a defective disc? At the beginning of the movie when the logo comes on the screen it was really grainy, kinda like a really old type projector movie. And yeah, groucho's right, it keeps switching to black and white. Hopefully they will recall these defective discs.

Halp plz!!1

I gave this a rent, and then I went and bought it from FYE. I heard mixed stuff going in, but afterwards I realized what a really enjoyable film it was. The PQ looked fine to me, BTW, but it did seem a little soft. I figured that was the intention.

Off topic, slightly, though: has anyone watched the trailers yet, mainly the one for Pulp Fiction. Does anyone else wish that the Pulp Fiction DVD PQ looked more like that? I for one do b/c it's just a look that goes so well for that movie.

i thought the picture was great...But what is up with when uma says here name? Its like bleeped out. Is there some inside story to that or what. loved the audio track for the entire movie as well. Defently a good blind but.

On a serious note..... I can't wait to pick this DVD up. I love this movie so much. I don't mind double dipping for the SE later on.

mikewendt 04-13-04 11:05 PM

I'm pretty sure it's intentional. It happens when Oren and Vernita say it too. Hopefully we'll find out when Vol. 2 comes out Friday

neocheddar02 04-14-04 12:22 AM

It's a throwback to oldschool movies that have heros with no names. "The bride" is the only name she goes by, bleeping out the name is QT's homage to these films.

On a related note, I really hope I spoiled that for someone.

Tags added. Why did you hope you spoiled it for someone? - Static

cultshock 04-14-04 02:22 AM

Yeah, her full name is
Spoiler:
Beatrix Kiddo
and the bleeping is just a homage. Didn't we cover all this months ago? :p

You must be getting a version without the wedding flashbacks then.
