Personally I don't care for that phenominon, it throws off the balance of the series IMO. Don't get me wrong, I have absolutly no problem with 1.85:1 as an AR, those that know me here know that, but I usually prefer that every film in a series be the same ratio.
With the Lethal Weapon series I can understand because Dick Donner had no idea the original would be so successful, thus filmed it in 1.85:1. But what happened with Blade II? Why 1.85:1 for this one when it's original film is 2.35:1?
It doesn't help either that the case lists it as being 2.35:1 when it isn't.
I can easily overlook this as the film IS in it's OAR, always a good thing, but i'm just so curious.
