Saying that someone is "copping out" because they say it looks better than the previous DVD is making a hell of an assumption. It would be nice if these releases were recalled and redone to more closely mimic the original source. However, this phrase "That being said, I too doubt that any of theses recently lamented titles will see a re-release..." sums up why some are willing to live with what has been released to date.
If FOX does not intend to revisit this title any time soon, then what point would I be proving by not picking up this BD It, presently, is a better looking presentation than any of the previous DVDs. Am I "copping out" because I'm comparing one home video release to another? I don't think so.
Am I, personally, happy with what has been done to this film? No; however, the BD of this film looks better compared to previous incarnations of this film on home video. It is too bad that it doesn't look closer to the film; however, unless we somehow can convince FOX to recall and redo this film, it is the best reproduction we are going to see for the foreseeable future. FOX hasn't been listening to any of the concerns expressed on this forum in the recent past, so why would anyone expect them to start now?
