The Sting was deliberately filmed 'soft' to create a 1930s atmosphere, the intent was to shoot in black and white but the studio did not allow it. What you are seeing on 4k is as intended creatively, keep that in mind and the 4k blu ray video quality is actually gorgeous.
That makes sense, cause there's no possible way with a lineup like that they could screw it up so badly unless they did it on purpose. Now I can watch the rest of the movie knowing they're not holding out waiting to issue a better version 4K
Django was absolutely stunning. Jaw dropping. I even took time to write Arrow with my gushing praise.. I'm sold on Arrow.. Those people know what they are doing. Buying all their 4k releases now!
I just watched the sting last night and was really impressed! It was my first time seeing it tho. Blacks were a little to dark a couple times but other than that everything looked great.
Off topic, but I would love to hear your overall thoughts about animation on 4K and whether it's worth upgrading over Blu-ray. I know you weren't a big fan of the transfers for Ghost in the Shell and Shrek, so I would love to hear your take on other hand drawn and early 3D animation titles on the format.
Wow I thought The Sting looked super sharp at times. I also saw it hitting near 100Mbps. It definitely had some misses, but I felt some scenes looked super crisp
As for the grain, the only things that survive are 35mm prints that are several times removed from the 16mm AB negative. Unless something better eventually surfaces, which is very unlikely, this is the best that THHE will ever look. While grain will be there regardless, the question is is the grain so heavy that it interferes with the picture. The other option would be to DNR it shitless, since there is still no foolproof way to remove grain without removing detail. At that point though, it would look awful. While I will eventually get the 4K, I can’t really see how much could be culled from such a low-quality source.
I really wish the smaller distributors had some kind of referral program so we could buy movies and get you a kickback without having to go through Amazon. I was on the fence on Django, just because I've never personally seen it before, but, as usual, your review sold it for me. Great stuff.
I wish the same thing. Maybe I can set that up if I talk to them directly, but as a marketing guy in my day job, I know those programs can be difficult to setup for small businesses.
Greetings Jeff. I have watched a significant number of your commentaries. I think you ROCK. I will be supporting your channel in the coming days, because of your Honest reviews. One thing I have noted time after time is your direct comparison to Blu-Ray & the words most people… Frankly, I started collecting many years ago & have Many More DVDs than Blu-Rays. Since a number of blu-rays are very poorly done (as you have pointed out) it might ring home for your viewers if you made reference to the DVD releases as well. Just a thought from a loyal follower, BC
Hey @Films at Home. So I got a new oled screen LG CX recently 65 inch, and I also got 2 extra speakers so now 11 for 5.1.4. Im trying to find stands for my Klipsch r51m and my r14 back satelites all klpisch. But im not sure where to look.l Id like to save a bit on cash than spend around that much for the stand on svs. Maybe amazon something from them would be cool! Thank you for any feedback. Btw, been subscribed for several months now watching your videos.
@@JeffRauseo- I really don’t think it’s just allergies (I have allergies every spring and this is different)- I’m pretty sure it’s just a cold virus going around. I think it has something to do with people having been cooped up for so long.
@@chrisd6736 for sure. Memorial Day weekend was the first time we could venture around without masks in my state. And then voila, got a cold. Our immune systems are going to be in shock after all this.
Bravo for doing this despite being under the weather. Now go back to bed and chill! 👍 Surprised about The Sting. The Blu-ray is so good, was expecting it to look great in 4K.
I always loved the first Saw movie! So I also bought the movie on 4k. The decision to keep the grainy picture ,which was intended by the film makers, is a good choice. A grainy picture is always better then a movie which gone through the DNR of hell like T2.
But, how does "The Entertainer" sound in "The Sting" ?? :-) Learned to play that song back then, and became a fan of Scott Joplin songs of that era.. A nice laid back movie, for a rainy day watch. G
Dude my allergies are in the same this year too. I think it's because we all stayed inside so much this last year and didn't build up our normal immunities
Really glad you reviewed the Sting as you did. I love the movie, one of the first of these two together I'd seen as a kid but I'd expect better in 4K & super happy with the frank & honest opinions about the tech specs & quality.
You can tell the Saw 4K is detailed when you can clearly and visibly see the red cloak of Pigface in the closet when he pops out lol, but I'm super excited about how it turned out, loved the new documentary about the original Saw as well, I'm thinking the rest of the Saw movies are getting blu-ray reissues with the minimalistic trap symbols I've been seeing pop up lately.
Yes, I agree with you on the Saw 4K. Saw looked really good and the sound was awesome with dolby atmos. Disappointment with The Sting on 4K. Great reviews!!
Got saw 4k zavvi steelbook the sting and smokey and the bandit 4k steelbook. Also got zombie 5 88 films limited edition with slip case book and poster. Got duel with poster. On pre order indiana Jones 4k set Monday and dune 4k arrow pre order. Also got on second sight films here uk the krays special edition and the prophecy special edition pre order
Hope ypu feel better jeff i had the same shit but its gone now i only have it for about 3 weeks and your correct about the sting doesnt look any better than the old bluray.
Disappointing to hear about The Sting being underwhelming, it was one of my most anticipated releases. Luckily I don’t already have the Blu, so still picking up
I bought the 4K version steelbook at Best Buy and I was not disappointed I thought it was really good. It's not one of the better 4K transfers but it's definitely a really good transfer. Like I said in one of the other comments I would say 3.5 maybe even a 3.75 out of 5
You want to see a ridiculous 4K picture pickup Gemini man for fifteen bucks or pickup hunter-killer for 10 bucks at Walmart they're both ridiculously amazing
I like the round up format for smaller titles. Maybe you'll be able to get through your backlog this way. I've got Django comin tomorrow, looking forward to it!
Bought Zack Snyder’s Justice League on 4K here in Australia but don’t think it’s worth it. The movie is set very dark and lacks colour. The 4:3 format is interesting though. Just get it on blu-ray. Keep up the great work Jeff.
I like your channel a lot, really inspired me to start my own collection. I want to ask you if you have some problems with 4k disk movies that freeze during playback. I had experienced that problem with my LG UBK90 player, also I heard from many Sony users the same problem, many people said that the problems came from the disks instead of the players, they advise to wash the 4k disk right after you buy them. Have you ever heard about these issues? Since you are one of the most experienced people with 4k disk movies will be nice if you can say something about this general issue, will help a lot the community. Greetings from Germany Cheers
For future reference, giallo is pronounced "jeeYAH-low". Thank you for all the work you do and please keep it, Jeff -- you're an invaluable resource in the home video review world and your technical thoroughness puts virtually all others to shame.
I already have the U.S. Steelbook, but IMO there's several "problems" with the arguments against The Sting on 4K: First, George Roy Hill never really intended The Sting to look "clean" as in a fresh-looking 1970's film; he was looking more at the 1930's or even older. Indeed, he wanted to shoot the movie in B&W at Academy ratio like a 1930's film; Universal wouldn't approve that but did allow him to open it with their 1930's logo. Second, it was NEVER gonna look as good as My Fair Lady, another Best Picture winner that hit 4K Blu-ray at the same time (and even though MFL is 8 years older), because MFL was shot on 65/70mm film stock; The Sting was on ordinary 35mm stock. Finally, though Hill intentionally gave the movie an older feel he *also* used a lot of optical "page flip", dissolve, and other transition editing effects common in the 1970's; those kind of effects are hard to restore digitally because they almost always require at least one additional generation of film copies beyond the original negative. Maybe it was disappointing to Jeff, but not everything can or should look like it was shot yesterday on an iPhone. 😉
Without googling all the winners, the only ones I can vouch for are: The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) Lawrence of Arabia (1962) My Fair Lady (1964) The Sting (1973) The Deer Hunter (1978) Gandhi (1982) Unforgiven (1992) Schindler’s List (1993) Forrest Gump (1994) Braveheart (1995) Gladiator (2000) Argo (2012) Moonlight (2016) The Shape Of Water (2017) Green Book (2018) Parasite (2019) Also, the Godfather movies are allegedly being worked on for a 2022 UHD release. For arguably the definitive home video format, there are lots of big titles missing.
@@shanerollins3736 You missed only one on 4K Blu-ray -- The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) was released last Christmas season in a 4K boxset with the rest of the LOTR trilogy in both theatrical & extended editions. (Perhaps you're waiting for the complete Middle Earth 4K boxset, originally scheduled for summer but not heard about since, which is supposed to include all the extras; the current LOTR & Hobbit 4K sets are movie-only. But like me, you certainly didn't miss the Columbia Classics 4K set which so far is the only 4K release of LoA & Gandhi.) And yes, I knew the Godfather trilogy (I & II both won) was in the pipeline. The sad part is there's still five Best Picture winners not even on 2K Blu-ray yet -- The Broadway Melody (1928/29), Cimarron (1930/31), The Great Ziegfeld (1936), The Life of Emile Zola (1937), and Around the World in 80 Days (1956) -- plus two released on 2K Blu-ray *only* outside the U.S., Hamlet (1948) & Ordinary People (1980). And it's not JUST lack of an HD master; though some of them are crappy transfers (the only Blu-ray of Ordinary People, in Australia, is from the same crappy transfer as Vudu's copy), of those seven only Emile Zola isn't available in HD on purchased streaming platforms. Also, several other winners from It Happened One Night (1934) to the just-won Nomadland (2020) -- including several former United Artists releases now owned by MGM -- are now in 4K on streaming, but only on 2K Blu-ray. 🤬
Huh? Is there a rumour that it's being released? Cameron is working on Avatar 2 when he really should be working on approving a new T2 transfer, True Lies, The Abyss and Aliens in 4K.
That dildo is too busy exploring and playing pocketball on the Avatar set to do these releases. All of his movies need restored and unaltered 4K releases, and that probably won’t happen. He’s screwed with T1, The Abyss, T2, and Titanic, and chances are we’ll get the screwed with versions instead of the original ones. He’s quickly becoming the next George Lucas.
Without the extended cuts or the workprint. Hard sell for me. I’ll get it eventually when it goes on sale, since I’ll be forced to double-dip and probably either pirate the workprint or buy a bootleg.
Let’s hope so. Bond on 4K will be Day One. Hopefully Goldeneye is fixed, all movies are in their OAR, and they include the unofficial movies too (Casino Royale 54, Casino Royale 67, Never Say Never Again).
Is SAW 4K the US unrated version? I love SAW franchise but refuse to buy censored releases. Often HD transfers are taken from censored US R cinema prints for the quality. ☠
Jesus, how much information do you need to be able to make your own decision 😄 He's given you all the information he can: the video is 10/10, the audio is the way it was intended and the packaging is great, too. Only you can decide if that deal is worth the price to you or not.
@@user-sr2wv1ol6e It is a common debate amongst Blu ray collectors about the quality of the physical releases vs the streaming releases. Just because you don’t understand that, doens’t mean my comment/question is out of place. Go be a troll elsewhere kthxbai.
@@Onibabayaga I know everything necessary regarding blu ray, streaming, bitrate, etc. as I have decent collection on my own and sometimes encode and remux for myself. He didn't mention anything regarding streaming and neither did you. You didn't ask if it's worth the upgrade from dvd, streaming etc. You just asked if the 4K blu ray is worth the $40. For that you need information regarding video & audio quality, packaging AND how much you like the movie AND your own budget preferences. He's given you the first 3. The last two are up to you ;-) Cheers.
For me i hate short video, i like more indepth opinions its value people that like short video are people that don't look at reviews or give reviews thks
Django sounds great, I've just ordered the dune 4k Steel book box set from zavvi, on arrow, I hope it's as good and you review it Jeff.great job, hope you're covid clears soon!
Hey Jeff I’m a big fan thanks for keeping the collecting community alive! I have a video request. I don’t know if you think it’s good enough to do for a RUclips video but maybe you could do a TickTock on it at least. I’m a big fan of the My Girl movies two of my favorites growing up. If I remember correctly you have the Mill Creek double pack. Could you do a video for that set? blu-ray.com says that it has bad video and audio quality compared to the Sony releases but the Sony releases are a bit hard to find these days I just wondered if they were actually being truthful or if they’re exaggerating because sometimes the reviewer‘s there can do that. Thanks man.

Bond will probably come out next year for its 60th anniversary. WB owns its home entertainment rights
Let’s hope so. Bond on 4K will be Day One. Hopefully Goldeneye is fixed, all movies are in their OAR, and they include the unofficial movies too (Casino Royale 54, Casino Royale 67, Never Say Never Again).
Is SAW 4K the US unrated version? I love SAW franchise but refuse to buy censored releases. Often HD transfers are taken from censored US R cinema prints for the quality. ☠
Django is REALLY expensive! Is it really worth that price if we don't really care about spagetti westerns???
Jesus, how much information do you need to be able to make your own decision 😄
He's given you all the information he can: the video is 10/10, the audio is the way it was intended and the packaging is great, too.
Only you can decide if that deal is worth the price to you or not.
@@user-sr2wv1ol6e It is a common debate amongst Blu ray collectors about the quality of the physical releases vs the streaming releases. Just because you don’t understand that, doens’t mean my comment/question is out of place. Go be a troll elsewhere kthxbai.
@@Onibabayaga I know everything necessary regarding blu ray, streaming, bitrate, etc. as I have decent collection on my own and sometimes encode and remux for myself.
He didn't mention anything regarding streaming and neither did you. You didn't ask if it's worth the upgrade from dvd, streaming etc. You just asked if the 4K blu ray is worth the $40.
For that you need information regarding video & audio quality, packaging AND how much you like the movie AND your own budget preferences. He's given you the first 3. The last two are up to you ;-)
Cheers.
Waiting on that Indiana Jones box set review. 😁
Ditto I’ve got the steel book on preorder
Same here.
For me i hate short video, i like more indepth opinions its value people that like short video are people that don't look at reviews or give reviews thks
Django sounds great, I've just ordered the dune 4k Steel book box set from zavvi, on arrow, I hope it's as good and you review it Jeff.great job, hope you're covid clears soon!
Italian Giallo = GEE-ALLO. Django is amazing.
Shame is not new django
Django not 1960’s
Hey Jeff I’m a big fan thanks for keeping the collecting community alive! I have a video request. I don’t know if you think it’s good enough to do for a RUclips video but maybe you could do a TickTock on it at least. I’m a big fan of the My Girl movies two of my favorites growing up. If I remember correctly you have the Mill Creek double pack. Could you do a video for that set? blu-ray.com says that it has bad video and audio quality compared to the Sony releases but the Sony releases are a bit hard to find these days I just wondered if they were actually being truthful or if they’re exaggerating because sometimes the reviewer‘s there can do that. Thanks man.
