The 4K restoration is incredible. So good seeing this movie in theaters since the when I first saw it back when it came out. This movie is built for theatres.

I’ll give it a go some time in the future but it’s just not a good work, sadly.

Rubbish. I don’t see them giving their fortunes back cause they…
