Just to be fair, I saw Butch... in the movie theaters many a time when it was released and I have a tough time remembering anything beyond just the story. It would be pretty hard for a reviewer or anyone else for that matter to remember enough details of the presentation to make a fair comparison of the original theater run Vs the BR disc on older or even newer releases.
I would guess that reviewers, on the whole, gear their reviews to the masses. They really don't care about nit-picking a release to death with details (keep the review short and sweet - thank you RAH) and are mostly concerned with simply describing PQ/AQ as good, average, or bad. That's OK by me.
On another note - my worst pet peeve - are directors that alter their films from the theatrical presentations and serve them up on DVD SE without allowing viewing of the original presentation as part of the package, i.e Blade runner (since corrected) and Last of the Mohicans to name a few. Very irritating!!!
