Man on Fire

[Adz]

Justed wanted to drop a note about this DVD. Stars Denzel Washington as a former Marine turned bodyguard who swears vengeance on those who committed an unspeakable act against the family he was hired to protect.

I thought it was a great movie but besides that, the audio quality was surprisingly awesome especially the DTS version! Strong powerful LFE at times, but just the entire soundtrack/dialogue in general was incredibly immersive and rich in detail. I thought sonic quality was very similar, almost as good as Kill Bill II (the one with less action). I give it :T :T :T :T out of 5.

Check it out and let me know what you think!!

Definitely. The audio quality was excellent on this DVD.

Can't believe I missed that (should have known!) - guess I should have done a search first but I was so friggin' excited to report about the audio quality of this movie - I am still floored. Can't say enough about it.

I couldn't agreemore, Adz.

[Adz]

Any other surprises like that out there?

Try the Chronicles of Riddick soundtrack, Adz. The bass had me checking the walls for cracks.

I purchased the Collectors Edition DVD which just came out a couple of weeks ago. I really love this movie, more so even the second time around. And the DTS version surround sound and LFE, is reference quality -- one of the best I've ever heard. If you haven't seen this movie yet, rent it or buy it now, I can't say enough about it! Feel free to thank me afterwards.

I just got the D-VHS (DTS) version of this and it adds another level of PQ and SQ for what was already an excellent dvd. I thought this movie was excellent.

I can't imagine how good that must sound!! Unfortunately, D-VHS is all but dead around here. But I had some transport mods done to my Denon 5900 and its really to starting to shine through - it may be why I couldn't believe just how good Man on Fire sounded and how good The Lion King both sounded since the last time I played both of these.
