So Much Potential
This COULD HAVE been a good movie. You have a decent game series which is plot driven, a great leading actor, a hot chick, guns, but somehow it all went terribly wrong. With the exception of maybe two good scenes in the movie the plot is boring and moves so slow its hard to watch.

Olyphant is a good actor, but the problem with this movie is the writing. If they had even taken the plots from some of the popular games, that would have been good but the movie moves to slow and choppy to be salvaged. Its just plain bad.

I Don’t Care What People Say This Was Pure Garbage
This is one of those movies that you see the trailer and you say “wow, this is awesome” but when you sit and watch it you say ” ah s%@# why did I buy this “. Well don’t worry I will give you the reasons why you should avoid this movie. first of all the movie is based on the popular videogame, which in fact is really good and I’m a fan of it but the movie avoids explaining any details about the character: such as his past, his troubles its all a mystery, yet it may seem interesting to have a character whose not all that well described but the way it is brought out is not that great. Second the actor who portrays agent 47 (Timothy Oliphant) acts so stiff and doesn’t even know how to hold a gun right; I know the majority of people don’t know how to use or even hold a gun but these guys have coaches who explain and training them in the use of weaponry. 3rd the story is so muddled and unnecessarily confusing, the characters are not well developed nor do the actors portray them well. The movie does have some good qualities such as a good DTS 5.1 surround sound channel that gives a neat sound when hearing the explosions and gunfire. The lead actress is very, very hot so i give kudos for that…Though the rest is so bad I felt like turning it off every time the hot chick left the scene. Another thing they should have chosen someone else for the part like Jason Statham or even Vin Diesel, when will Hollywood learn gosh. Well if you’re a fan of the game i guess you owe to watch for the sake of the curiosity, but be warned it’s not what you expect. as for the rest of the viewers who have no idea who agent 47 is and want to watch a mindless action movie go ahead knock yourself out and rent it, but if you are like me and want to view something a little more interesting with some plot and taking place in reality ,skip it, its not for you

MY PERSONAL RATING: 1 OUT OF 5

it was…meh
This movie actually looked like a video game movie. You know how they usually have that sorta cheap, sorta cheesy look? This movie had that. I found the Hitman character totally uninteresting. The storyline was boring and I couldn’t wait for it to be over.

I like trash
HD is not only for Blockbuster! It is a good thing to see also some trash on HD. I hope for a acceptable picture and a hour of fun! And I am waiting for Barbarella and Barb Wire on HD !!!!!!!

Horno….Horno….Horno…Let’s Go….
Classic Cheese…How could you not like this movie. This is one of the few movie’s that Beautiful Playmate Dorothy R. Straton had done. Get this movie, wait for a snow day and sit back a watch and pray to the lord ‘Harley Davidson’, the lord and master, vvvvvrrrrrrrmmmmmmm, vvvvrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmm…

the film that killed Avery Schriebers career
What a waste of time and HD-DVD.Perhaps one of the worst movies ever,and not in a good way.It ends so abruptly you might throw your neck out.Miss Stratton is lovely of course but the film is poorly lit and badly edited and her time on screen is limited.Not even a black midget and lame stoner jokes could save this tossed together junk.View at your own risk.Note;review based on dvd release.

Planet Earth
Haven’t seen it yet but I know it’s gotten great reviews and when I have time I look forward to watching it.

Stunning!
Absolutely amazing! Worth watching over and over again. The BBC rarely disappoints, and they certainly earn their exalted reputation with this series. BUY IT!

Poor audio ruins the experience
Visually, the series is amazing. But the audio balance between narration and music is terrible. When it was turned it up loud enough for the narration to be clear, the music just blared. It finally became so distracting that I turned the volume down and put on subtitles. I am really disappointed in the audio quality of these DVDs.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent Imagery
After doing a bit of research, I learned that this footage was filmed during the Endeavour voyage. The imagery is excellent and very clear. Especially considering it was shot from space! I really enjoyed the variety of classical soundtracks to choose from - almost eight hours of music. This is a great disc to play all day long.

Major disappointment
Buyer beware. I expected an hour of HD images from space. Instead, a viewer gets a blast off sequence and a 10-15-minute loop of images from space repeated four times. I also wanted “a view from space”–not long, hand-held shots of the shuttle’s empty cargo bay with a shaky moon in the background. Also, there are distracting blobs, spots, and smears on the camera lens and on the viewing portals. The fourth time you watch the Sahara (or whatever desert it is) through what looks a big bug splat on a windshield, one really wishes that the video was a rental instead of a purchase.

A must have
The images shown along with the music really create the Blu-Ray Hi-def experience. A must have for any Blu-Ray player!

I dont give it anything (not even a one for good effects)
there are too many things wrong with this movie. if you like it you’ve never read the book. i read the book after i say this movie. it was a complete disappointment of a movie. NEVER see it

Blu-ray Looks & Sounds Great
Sure it’s not the world’s best movie, but it is a pretty good story

that our family enjoys.

Compared to the regular DVD, there is a big difference in Picture,

and the HD DTS sound ain’t to shabby either.

So catch it when it’s on sale, and you’re sure to enjoy it.

I Almost Died…
I am a large fan of the book, and was looking forward to seeing this.

IT WAS TERRIBLE!

It was so Hollywoodized I could barely breath, complete with cheesy one liners that should have found themselves on the cutting room floor.

I the middle of the movie, I couldn’t stop myself from standing up and screaming: “LOOK OUT FRODO SKYWALKER! DARTH VOLDEMORT IS COMING TO KILL YOU WITH HIS LIGHT WAND!”

It was shortened to a painful length, and the battle scene wasn’t even good.

I say a remake…Alfonso Cuaron for director.

The Sothwest USA in Digital
I’ve been to many of these places digitally filmed, and they look amazing in HD-DVD. Shot in full 1080p, it’s like looking through a window, and will show off what your HDTV can (or should, with the correct settings) look like.

This one will be played from time to time, especially in winter. Worth the price.

If you enjoy scenery, nature, and those nature sounds with music you can pick up at any Target store, this is a good choice for you.

Play it in the background when you’re doing chores around the house, if it’s been cloudy forever, or the you’ve had a rough day.

This one let’s you relax…

Customer Reviews:
One of TV’s Best.
This is simply one of TV’s best out there. You will love this program. The characters are likable, the shows are gripping, the epic is engaging, and you will hate when the each episode ends. You can relate to each character and care about them. I will keep this on my shelf after I watch it rather than resell. it.

Grey’s Anatomy Season Two Uncut
I started watching Grey’s Anatomy sometime after the first two seasons. While I knew what was going on, I didn’t know how much I had missed. This DVD set was GREAT. I loved no commercials and quickly got a more indepth understanding of the characters and their relationships. Seriously!

The way television drama is suppose to be!
An amazing season to an amazing show! The story lines are real, and you begin to realize what all the hype is about. Highly recommended!

Customer Reviews:
Brilliant, and not quite what you’ve heard
The comments the preceded my catching up to The Wire’s 4th season were that this fourth season was “a watermark for dramatic television” or “the best thing ever filmed.” Those are some lofty bits of praise to rise up to, and after falling deeply in love with the first three seasons of The Wire, I’m afraid I don’t share the same reservationless love for season four as I do for the first three. Let me be quick about what I think doesn’t actually work - too much budget talk (Carcetti gets into office and what we do is go over the books?), too much drama at the school about struggles with language arts testing scores (this is The Wire, full of beauracratic cynicism, but testing is a bit of a necessary evil), and, mostly, less bombs set off than in previous seasons - our beloved main characters mostly make it through the year unscathed until the last couple of episodes, which is different from how they’ve done things in the past.

That said, what’s left are some of the most memorable moments for our beloved street thugs and not-always-as-beloved cops and politicians, plus an endless string of memorable moments following four boys who’ll grow up to meet some destiny this season or the next. The season surprises most of all with Naimond (Julito McCullum) and Michael (Tristan Wilds), two friends of various degrees of potential whose stories defy predictability by drawing you in with the kid, teenager, and the adult peeking out of every interaction they have. We follow them as they flirt with, walk away from, and, quietly, conclude where their lives on the street and in school will take them, and the results are both subtle and heartbreaking, enormous and genuine. This show has never had a bad performance, but in season four, it’s McCullum and Wilds who take honest, no frills acting to a new degree - when Naimond quietly cries, in the season’s penultimate episode, “Michael isn’t Michael anymore,” you know not only the sad truth of that statement, but also both the tragedy and hope of the society that changes dreams and molds life. That work is staggering, the budgeting work is not.

Brillant !!!
Boys of summer in west baltimore between cops and drug dealers. very moving. very thoughtfull.

It’s all that… and more
I just finished watching the last episode of Season 4 of the HBO drama “The Wire”. And I can say without any hesitation, the Wire is groundbreaking, one of the finest television series to ever hit the airwaves. Gritty, realistic, with a heart and soul for it’s characters that’s wide and awesome. I’m literally in shock over what I was able to watch over the last few nights.

Oddly, I hadn’t watched any of the episode leading up to this season. My initial interest in the show was for the “school” focus it had; and the realities of education today. I’ve been attuned to watching other shows that featured schools, and have become very cynical about them in the past. In most shows, the kids are clean, well dressed, well fed, and sit primly at their desks, in a classroom of 12 twelves, offering witty retorts to the teacher. It’s enough to make anyone who’s spent time in American classrooms of today hurl. The Wire offers no such premise, but an insightful wisdom that has never been shown on television before.

One storyline in this season of the Wire, for there are many, involve four neighborhood boys, Randy, Dukie, Michael, and Namond, who are just entering the eighth grade. They’ve formed a tight bond, each one offering something to their group, each one a potential victim in the drug world of Baltimore. As the season plays along, each finds themselves in situations where their decision making ability is put to the test, and it’s their decisions at crucial times that drive the honest of their stories. The four actors that play this quartet simply steal the show with their realism, senses of rage, injustice, and eventually, despair.

I could go on and on about the school aspect of this show. They got so much right, the lack of classroom supplies, the overcrowded, disenfranchised students, the sole stress on high stakes testing at the expense of meaningful learning, the teachers — some visionary and bold, some sell outs. It’s the school, the new teacher, Mr. Prez, and how he gives his heart to these kids that offer the true heart of this season’s narratives.

Aside from the school, the series also soars with it’s continuing drug lord stories that are so incredibly and horrifically played out. Chased by a brave band of police folk, their interplays with the thriving Baltimore drug scene show the complexity of this issue, much beyond “Just saying no”. Police politics, and an upcoming mayoral election, prove devastating for “the Wire”, as the department is gutted and it’s staff sent elsewhere. Everyone, and I mean, EVERYONE turns in such an amazing performance, you would have thought that they were born to play these roles.

My head is spinning. I’m now going to start back at season one, and see how this show began, to inform my honored season 4. And I just can’t wait.

Start up HD-DVD
Looks great and if your into space then so much the better. Never had a problem with it at all. Played it in my Xbox 360 HD drive. Worked great and wowed the family.

beautiful music, beautiful scenes
For a music lover like me this is something highly enjoyable, the views from space are impressive. It would have been a full 5 star if there were no scenes repeting.

worthwhile
A View From Space With Heavenly Music is the only thing I play when I want to show off my HD DVD player. The pictures and music combined enhanced this experience.

a favorite movie in a new format
this is one my all time favorite movies, but be aware that HD format wil not play on ordinary DVD players. I was not, and had to return it for the usual one.

One of the best high-paced character studies around
I love this film and both Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones’ portrayals within it. Most are familiar with the story: a Chicago-based vascular surgeon Dr. Richard Kincaid (Ford) returns home to find an intruder and his wife nearly dead from the attack. The CPD cannot substantiate the story and believe the good doctor murdered his wife instead. Dr. Kincaid is sentenced to death by lethal injection due to the particularly heinous nature of the crime. He gets a lucky break when the inmates on his prisoner transport break out. Instead of running for the border, Dr. Kincaid returns to Chicago to find the person who killed his wife. U. S. Marshal Sam Girard is assigned to the case—Tommy Lee Jones’ portrayal in this particular film was what spawned his role in “US Marshals” another case where he ends up proving the innocence of the person he is seeking.
