[Duck of Death]

http://dvd.ign.com/articles/580/580031p1.html

The Movie = 5
Not a bad idea but executed without a shred of originality.


The Video = 9
An exceptional print with only the slightest grain.


The Audio = 10
A fantastic DTS and Dolby Digital mix, near-reference quality.


The Extras = 8
Commentaries are ok, the making-of is actually good and the DVD-ROM features are a real plus.


Overall Score (not an average) = 8

The review, which is awful, says that although the movie isn't that good, the video and sound transfers are so well-done that they warrant a recommendation.

Does this make sense?

This is what happens when ManaByte is no longer in charge!

 

[Archaix]

I guess he's saying it's one of those "Use this movie to show off your home theater setup" movies, but...fuck.

How long are you going to keep those friends once they realize how much you spent to watch Alien vs Predator how it was intended to be?

 

[Prince of Space]

Whatever happened to Manabyte, BTW?

no because even a piece of hot steaming dog waste is still just that no matter how good the presentation is

this was one of the worst movies i was ever forced to see

The Catwoman DVD scored a 7 overall...even though the movie was rated a 5 and the extras 4...a bigger travesty.

yep. Saw it free and still felt horribly ripped off and violated.

Damn the IGNDVD editor locked my thread.

It wasn't even that bad. Guess he didn't like being called on his bogus review method for rating DVDS.

 

[Drensch]

I thought the movie was ok, but this review seems off base. There are way too many good-great movies that have reference quality AV and great xtras for AVP to score this high whack the scale IMHO.

 

[Outcast2004]

I saw AVP at a $1, second run theatre.

I felt ripped off, how could they fuck up something that should have been an easy home run so bad?

 

[Zelda-Bitch]

Listen to me GAF. Do not. I repeat Do not buy this piece of crap. Even if it will run HDTV resolution. All it would be is a shinier piece of rat turd.

 

[DarienA]

Editor's Choice is crazy but I'm buying this movie... just cause.

I wish we could just ban IGN all together. The DVD reviews are a serious joke. If anyone here posted the nonsense they spew they would get permabanned. There all just a bunch of fanboys either dilusional about there specific console or so jaded it's sad.
