I rented Gladiator the other night. My set-up is fairly modest compared to some people on this forum. I have an ISF'd calibrated 60" SXRD A3000 and Oppo BDP-83. I sit about 8-9 feet back and at 1080p/24, I found Gladiator disappointing, but not quite as horrible as I expected. It's certainly an improvement over the DVD, but it had a very processed look - more notable in the outdoor scenes where there is so much evident edge enhancement. I thought the EE was worse than the DNR in this case. However, some scenes look pretty decent and I'm not even referring to the extended scenes which look excellent. I would love to see a new transfer, however, given what Adam shared with us, I have a hard time believing they will re-do this release once again...although I'd love to be wrong.
