Your Opinions and Comments
Content: One of the best films ever.
Video: Best I have ever seen it, dont know how it compares to other versions/regions though.
Audio: All crisp and clear. I will have to wait and see what it sounds like on my Digitheatre.
Features: Pretty flimsy but better than nothing, I guess.
Overall: Nice version of the film, but the extras are not really good at all.
