I'll just make a quick comment and say no, I will not be buying this. The movie was sub-par 4/10 and the only acceptable Vinny movies Ive ever seen were Saving Private Ryan 8/10 , Pitch Black 6/10, and Boiler Room 7/10

I thought the movie was pretty cool.
I got the DVd in the mail today, they sent it to me early! The dvd picture and sound kicks ass, and it has alot of special features that are pretty cool. I recommend it, but I've seen better movies.

I'll be renting this

[Santa Clause]

I will be buying it in 1 hour. I can't wait to get my hands on this rip-roaring non-stop action movie.

I picked up this dvd this morning, and here is my review of the package:

The Movie:

This movie is all about fun; plain and simple. There is no confusing plot line (in fact there is barely any plot at all), there are no real twists and turns, and there certainly aren't any great dramatic moments, but it certainly does provide lots of terrific action and stunts, and some kickass characters. Vin Diesel, Samuel L. Jackson, and Asia Argentino are all very cool in this movie. And that's all it's really about. Take off your thinking cap, and enjoy. This is definately the best straight-foward action movie of the year, and in fact one of the most entertaining!

8/10

Video Quality:

The video here is nothing short of stunning. The video is picture perfect and looks terrific. All of the action scenes are very good, and the colors are vibrant. It's a GREAT looking disc.

9/10

Audio Quality:

The audio here is much like the video: stunning. The action scenes and music are loud and clear, and the dialouge is never lost. Great for this type of movie!

9/10

The Extras:

For a single disc, and one that has this good of video and audio quality, the disc is packed! I have watched all of the documentaries and featurettes, and they provide a terrific look into the making of this film. I really enjoyed watching these, and I think it was terrific seeing how they created the action scenes. I haven't had a chance to listen to the commentary, but when I do I will update the review. The deleted scenes here are also nice, though it is obvious why some were left out. The storyboard comparisons were nice to look at (from the point of view of a wannabe director, anyways), and the menus are very cool. Also included is an ok music video, and for DVD ROM the script is present, though it really isn't much of a script. Still interesting to look at (especially how they wrote the action scenes!).
All in all, a very good single disc.

8.5/10

Total Package: 8/10 ( A must buy for those who enjoyed the movie, or for vans of the Diesel!)

[Santa Clause]

I haven't watched it yet but I think it will be good. Now I'm saving my moola for Barbershop.

[PorcheRacer]

A little off-topic but, Santa Clause what is your top ten of all time?

[Santa Clause]

1.Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
2.Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
3.Training Day
4.Harry Potter and the Philosiphers Stone
5.Catch Me If You Can
6.Pulp Fiction
7.Resivoir Dogs
8.Desprate Measures
9.Enemy of the State
10.Ali




Those are not in a very correct order but those are my top ten. I haven't seen TTT yet.

[PorcheRacer]

Those are some good choices there but you do know movies were made past 1994?

HAHAHA. I was about to say that. There are no movies before the 80's.

PS: A and REALLY close to Assasinating Harry Potter! The movies are good, but...damn, one little word about the sequal makes national headlines!
