Maybe - and maybe I'm wrong and RAH really thinks that South Park looks/sounds a billion times better on Blu-Ray than on SD-DVD.
But I don't think so. I'm sure the discs look/sound fine, but cripes, it's South Park! Not Snow White, not Ratatouille, not anything with great - or even GOOD - production values. That's not a slam on the series - I'm a fan and I've reviewed all 12 seasons plus all the compilations. It's just reality - South Park isn't a series that will benefit from increased picture/sound resolution.
It's cardboard cutouts with a pretty simple soundtrack. Seriously - do you guys REALLY think RAH - the same guy that's intimately familiar with flicks like Lawrence of Arabia and Vertigo - is going to cream his pants over the Blu-Ray presentation of South Park?
I don't doubt RAH thinks the discs are fine. I very much doubt he liked them as much as this review indicates. Has he ever written another review so full of hyperbole?
