Best (and Worst) High-Def Discs of 2006

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the buyer-beware dept.

An anonymous reader writes "High-Def Digest has released their first annual 'Best (and Worst) of the Year' list of movies released on HD DVD and/or Blu-ray. Not surprisingly, the 'best' list is heavy on superheroes. Superman, Batman, and the Hulk all made the list. Not a bad cheat sheet for those of us with a Blu-ray capable PS3 or an XBox 360 HD DVD add-on on our Christmas lists."

  1. No matter how high the resolution by rolfwind · · Score: 3, Funny

    The Hulk was utterly mediocre. Wouldn't buy it for $4.99, let alone whatever it is high def movies fetch.

    Where are the real classics that I would actually want to see in hi-def?

  2. No Adam Sandler? by antifoidulus · · Score: 2, Funny

    But I heard fart jokes are so much better in HD!

    Not just trashing it, trashing it on a geek site!

    Batman Begins is back to the darkness, not quite Burton style, but very far from
    Batman & Robin. I'm sure the original poster just got Batman titles confused..
    Give him a notice for the record, and pull his geek license next time it happens.

    Hulk was a Shakespearian, father-son conflict
    I tried to get Hulk via P2P to see if it was as bad as everyone said but it turned out to be a renamed porn movie file with some seriously hot action. I was happy.

    In the BS fight scenes, as near as I could tell, Matt Damon rolled around on the floor with a RealDoll while the director shook the camera hard enough to give old Star Trek space ship combat scenes are run for their money.

    If Matt Damon was doing something else, I apologize...because I COULDN'T SEE A GOD DAMN THING.

    You are clearly an eccentric.

    What has good plot and good acting got to do with making a good film?

    The measure of a good film is how much money is spent on making it: especilly how much is spent on marketing.

    Tell that to the boom stick.

    if you steal from one source, that is plagiarism, if you steal from many, well, that's just research.

    IMO he deserves to be modded a troll. Unless I am blind he slammed Fantastic Four, which has Jessica Alba in it, which automatically makes it one of the best movies of all time.

    This reminds me of an old Penny-Arcade strip.

    BATMAN BEGINS (forgive the caps, I'm copy 'n pasting).

    Wouldn't it have taken less time to rewrite "Batman Begins" than it did to write "forgive the caps, I'm copy 'n pasting)?

    Exactly. A real man would be rigid in his opinions for 30 years. Only the weak change their minds.
