      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Robin-B-Hood stars Jackie Chan as a compulsive gambler who turns to robbery as a way of raising cash to pay off his debts. The poor gambler

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD can look quite good, with solid black levels and bright, vibrant colors. But compression artifacts can be recognized at times throughout the presentation, and details are not captured as well as in better releases. While the picture does not look smeared, it is relatively soft. Shadow delineation is fairly good, helping create a dimensional-looking image, but the darkest portions of the image can look flat. Edge enhancement is noticeable, but not overly distracting. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Cantonese Dolby

    Reason #91 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I need a magazine at dose and not a sugar coat approach to reviews. I need a magazine that is not bias or a sell-out. And Widescreen Review is my winner. I am a 23-year old audiophile that likes to stay in the know and up to date on what’s new and what’s hot. I can't do that with a magazine that says every single review is a good one, like other mags out there that will be left name-less. The Sound And Vision of a product is important, but don’t sell-out to make a buck, and those people out there are the ones who think that Gateway makes a good plasma. Keep up the good work. I love the mag.
