'Romancing the Stone' - High-Def Digest Review

[Attebery]

Peter has reviewed 'Romancing the Stone.' He says the film has grown a bit dated (especially the score), but it's still a fun adventure yarn. This Blu-ray features good video and audio, and a nice collection of supplements. Worth a look.

I'm glad the PQ is good. I'll definately have to pick this up, when it goes on sale.

i gladly paid 39.99 for this and jewel of the nile when they were first released as barebones dvds. the price i paid for these on bluray this week was 24.99 each a full 15 dollars cheaper apiece. well worth the money to own one of my favorite films growing up

Sounds like a decent, but not strong, transfer. I'll probably buy this used for $15 several months from now. It doesn't sound like it's worth the asking price new unless you absolutely love the movie. I only like the movie, so I'm not willing to pay through the nose for a merely decent video/poor audio disc of it.

On a side note, I agree with PB on "The Movie Itself" score? Wow, that's a first. We seem to have opposite tastes in everything.

Ive always seen this showing on TV but never made it through all the way. Definitly gonna try and rent it.

The film looks pretty good after all these years on Blu-ray.

This was one of my favorites growing up as well.

Actually picked it up for free on a Kellogs cereal promo on DVD. Not sure if I'll upgrade this time but I might if the price is right.

I read some reviews on this from another site http://beyondmediaonline.com/
and the guy says PQ is amazing. This movie is just as good (IMO) as Raiders of the lost ark, def buy for me and price is right

Have you seen the featurette screenshot of Kathleen Turner on dvdbeaver? Uggggh. Time has not been kind to her.

[Nicodimus22]

Yeah, she has aged less gracefully than anyone I've ever seen.

I think she looks fine, and has aged fine. Her eating habits have clearly changed though, I thought it was Ms. Piggy for a second.

Her voice, IIRC, hasn't either. Yikes! Still, I love this flick - gotta be one of Danny DeVito's best.

Yeah.. a bit pricey for me at the moment, but will definitely be in my collection this year

FFS guys, Kathleen Turner has been diagnosed with Rhuematoid Arthritis for a decade and a half. The disease causes crippling pain and she takes steroids as part of the treatment. Add a little compassion in your comments please.
