Comment: such a long time in the making, and such a big disappointed in the video department. Poor detail, sharpness and colours. Minor blemishes on source, poor noise reduction, lacks detail on dark scenes.

Comment: original 4 track sound manufactured to DD5.1, OK-ish results but would have preferred the original sound track

Overall DVD rating: 5/10
- could have been and should have been a much better DVD especially for the exaggerated asking price - good extras content though.
