filmmusic 1,838 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 oh, and some of the reviews:-Played a bit side by side with the DVD it absolutely blows it out of the water-I sampled some scenes and I think the transfer looks absolutely beautiful. The softness seems to be inherent to the source material. There is a lot of backlighting in this film and it is was shot with anamorphic lenses which give the image a bit of a hazy look.To me this looks like another beautiful Spielberg film on Blu-ray-AQ - great!PQ - great, too, considering its generally soft look, particularly the London scenes, which I believe is intentional. There's plenty of fine detail on close ups and certain scenes in Neverland stand out in particular. It doesn't appear to have been manipulated, thankfully.It looks and sounds...right!and here's the inside case: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,372 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 OMG I can't wait!I just wish Spielberg would sign off on releasing all the deleted scenes It's frustrating that he has only released delete scenes for Jaws, CE3K, and Indy 1-3.

Jay 37,372 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Just don't expect anything brilliant, and try not to be annoyed at how obvious it is that the entire Neverland part of the movie was shot indoors on sound stages.

Or at least her hairstyle! by the way, i think the best time for anyone to see this is around Christmas!It fits perfectly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 75 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Its a guilty pleasure. I personally love it!I wouldn't call it a guilty pleasure. It's definitely a flawed movie, but I think it has a lot of redeeming qualities to it. I try to see it with the same kind of perspective I had when I first saw it as a young child, when it very much captured my imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Blah looks like a direct release of the DVD only remastered and in high def.

Demondm810 399 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Watched this last night, utterly fantastic. Picture quality is excellent, although I would have personally preferred a little less grain scrubbing! But colors and details were amazing. The sound greatly benefits from the 5.1 DTS HDMA. The music is brilliantly mixed, and never too soft. It's wonderful to have this movie look and sound this good.A shame they couldn't get some special features on there, especially considering its 20th anniversary!Any fan has no need to hesitate.

Jay 37,372 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 It is indeed a shame about the lack of special features. Good to hear about the music though - I was going to wait until it went on sale sometime in the future to pick it up, but now I kinda want to get it right away and see about ripping the music and re-doing my edit. I even have a blu ray drive in my computer, that I've never even used! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Yes it is. They even use that part on the menu. I noticed one weird error in the sound mix was corrected when Rufio says "you are the Pan". It just seemed to skip or drop out a bit in the older track.It does indeed look and sound wonderful. The best-looking and sounding scenes are the climactic battles. As close to how I remember it looking in theaters and a massive upgrade from DVD.I replaced the eco case because the wrapper is sealed to the spine. It really warms my soul seeing it in my BD collection. Now on to E.T., Indy and Jaws... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,318 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Has anyone seen those new deleted scenes from Hook, in the 4K remaster set? Apparently there's only 8 minute's worth despite having 11 scenes. Seems to me that much of that infamous "missing day" deleted from the film remains unreleased. 1977 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,318 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Like barely 8 minutes, apparently just snippets of existing scenes or deleted lines of dialogue. Definitely not the supposed treasure trove of deleted material that could've been included (but presumably Spielberg requested wasn't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,529 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I looked it up once (was really hard to find any info) and they're pretty much all short bits of inconsequential fluff. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,372 Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 The deleted scenes were weird; They are from some very VERY early cut of the film, before the cut Williams even scored to, so it doesn't help understand anything about the shape of the film at the time of scoring and how the unused music we have might have synced up with anything specifically bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
