    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a sharp and detailed picture, impressive definition and clarity, perfectly following through with the look of the first two movies. Textures in clothing, facial features, and sets are nicely rendered.

    Reason #51 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I feel that your magazine has a nice balance of high-end and mid-range audio equipment. I've purchased some equipment after reading some of your reviews and found that they work just like the way you said. I no longer need any more equipment to purchase, but I've taken a two-year subscription because of your DVD reviews, which I find top notch. I find the picture and sound quality reviews important to me. I also read the equipment reviews, which I enjoy because you never know when a piece of equipment will need to be replaced. Keep up the good work.
