Just out of curiosity.. How do you divide the review-sites that "appreciate film" and which "doesn´t appreciate film"? Just wondering, since one site has usually several reviewers etc.
I bet most (sure, not all, some clearly just "take the review-copy and run") of these reviewers "appreciate film" and all that, but the big question is, that how "deep" those reviewers have to dig? They might just "miss" (or even ignore) something when it comes to serious "HT-crowd". And if they "miss" something, that doesn´t necessarily mean that the transfer looks "bad". Review is hardly never the "whole truth". Often it´s just one opinion. Buying (or NOT buying) some title based on e.g one review is probably not recommended. Several sources is the key.
After all, we´re not living in a perfect world (even Blu-ray is not "perfect") and not all people watch these films like the people who e.g. made that AVSforum-list (hell, I have several of those releases - and I´m happy with them).
But sure, DVNR is obviously a bad thing. I personally like natural film grain.
