Loved “The Bourne Ultimatum.” The video was so good, I thought I was going to be sick—in a good way!

How can Spiderman 3 get Best Video Presentation? The second half of the movie had a number of video problems. Perhaps the reviewer was using a small screen to watch?

I would think PotC:CotBP or Transformers would be more deserving. (after WB fixed the PotC framing issue)

4. I assume you mean Batman Begins (and not Superman Returns, which is the inferior of the two).

I agree U-571 has great audio. Another film which really excels in the audio department is Pan’s Labyrinth.

“Let’s focus on features that are not on the soon to be dead hd dvd. It’s only fair ya kno? “

I couldn’t tell if that was a jab at HD DVD or Blu Ray because we all know HD DVD is a finalized spec that is web enabled.

BTW:I meant Batman Begins in my list and Bourne Ultimatum belongs in there as well.
