Dave,
Die Another Day is the only UE DVD that doesn't carry over the special features from the SE. In general, the new transfers are far superior to the SEs, especially the Connery films and OHMSS. The restoration on some of the older ones such as Dr. No and Goldfinger are spectacular. Here's the Clif Notes version on some of the issues people have noticed in the UE collection:
- Goldeneye and A View To A Kill have different framing than the SEs. The aspect ratio is the same, but they are zoomed in. Some people think it's abominable while others don't think it has ruined anything.
- Title sequence of Live And Let Die is very orangeish.
- Color of the opening beach scene in OHMSS is more blue than before.
For me, any issues with these are easily overwhelmed by the improvement in the other 98% of the content.
