    HTF REVIEW: Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    I did have a big reply to go here, but Robert has intervened and made it unnecessary because I've got the same conclusions. One thing I will say re: Padme dying out of desperation. It's a stretch, and was always going to be received badly, but it also leads to a neat little plot point. Padme...

    HTF REVIEW: Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    I agree with the comments about AOTC's picture quality. It's noisier, but it's very colourful and as someone said the Naboo sequences look like HD at times. Sith has a more moodier colour palette, but the image is even cleaner than its predecessor and makes me pine for HD versions even more...

    HTF REVIEW: Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    Star Wars fans = never happy. I think the A/V presentation is superb, the extras less so. Other people are merely concerned with the non-bassy laser-swords. But as Richard points out - and what Robert reiterates - the OT doesn't have bassy lightsaber battles. They were mixed for DVD in the...

    HTF REVIEW: Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    That one's great, it really is, but it's a bit too glossed over and formulaic for my tastes. What's so great about 'The Beginning' is the more intimate look it provides us at the making of a Star Wars film, and the most over-hyped one at that. There are no sound bites, no voice-over, no Lucas...

    HTF REVIEW: Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    I don't normally mind bilingual covers, but that Sith one looks bleedin' awful. Anyhoo, I've made my way through the extras and I'm a bit disappointed. The 'Within A Minute' documentary is a neat idea, but it spends very little time with many of it's participants and so it's not as...

    HTF REVIEW: Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    It's a shame that such a superb mix will get marked down by some just because the lightsabers aren't bursting with bassy goodness. I like the super-bassy mixes on the other movies too, but you can have too much of a good thing and Sith's soundtrack is balanced much better and is more involving...

    HTF REVIEW: Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    I just watched it again, only a bit louder this time (neighbours are out!) and the bass in some scenes floored me. The LFE that kicks in when Anakin ignites his lightsaber in front of the younglings is insanely deep - it almost rivals the rumble of the Star Destroyer above Coruscant in the...

    HTF REVIEW: Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    The 5.1 mixes for the OT DVDs are all EX-flagged. Or did you just mean the prequels? Maybe LFL just wanted to be consistent. ;) Cheers Tim. :D

    HTF REVIEW: Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    The Star Wars DVD mixes have always been a bit OTT, especially for the prequels, but Sith's is much more refined IMO (got my R1 edition today). There's so much detail in the surrounds, like Padme's erratic heartbeat as she lay on her deathbed, and less of the blunt crash-boom-bang that...
