Definitive Blu-ray Set
on October 9, 2020
Posted by: Smarz
Verified Purchase:Yes
Scream Factory has been churning out amazing horror releases for years now, instilling life in the dying industry of physical releases. I've owned various versions of the Critter series, but this is the definitive set. Worth owning for the content (at least parts 1 and 2), and looks great on a shelf.

Best Buy's exclusive 4K steelbook for UP brings extra charm to an already amazing film. Beautiful covert artwork, and a nice upgrade over the blu-ray. Highly recommended for steelbook fans.

It's Not Half Bad

Any gamer knows the Monster Hunter series that this show is based on. Sadly, they took it in a different direction than the installments I played, and geared this toward younger viewers. For fans of anime, it's not half bad--if you don't mind cute. Might be something to watch with the kids.

Gorgeous Cover

An upgrade to 4K with an exclusive cover design, in a limited edition steelbook? Please, and thank you. The quality of the "collectible" portion of this release is top notch, and though the steel is rather softer than one might expect, it held up to shipment in a simple bubble mailer just fine. (That said, wo out of about 15 of my steelbooks from the Disney sale were damaged).
As for the 4K disc itself, decent HDR color presentation, but noise reduction is apparent. Not a slam dunk, but an okay upgrade from the blu-ray. Disney should do better, especially for a fan favorite title like this.

Not the best in the series, but...

I wasn't a fan of the Saw series until I watched them all, in order, over the course of a few weeks. With that approach, it turned from mindless torture prawn into what felt like a TV series with hours long episodes. As a final episode, Jigsaw kind of flounders. It doesn't introduce anything new, nor does it really push the narrative forward, but it does explore some nooks and crannies in the Saw "universe" that I found entertaining. Great for fans of the series, but a hard pass if this is your first introduction to it.

Based on the classic DC Comic characters, this box set features all episodes from the fourth season of the hit crime drama following the origins of Gotham's most legendary figures.

Best season yet!

Gotham stands out among its contemporary DC brethren (e.g. Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, et al), not by taking itself too seriously, but by striking a perfect balance. It knows its inherently silly to see men and women prancing around in costumes, calling themselves by special names, but it never gives in to self-mockery. Season 4 is in good form, gently pushing Bruce to the forefront as the hero he'll eventually become. The cast continues to do well, in particular Sean Pertwee's Alfred and Ben McKenzie's James Gordon. Overall, a great show that continues to entertain.
