Its going to be hard to pass this disc up as I love the film and have been itching to see it for awhile now and have been able to hold off seeing it in anticipation of this new set.

I really was willing to be open to the reinterpretation, but the compromised shots happen just enough to really be bothersome, especially if you are a fan of the movie and know it well.
