Unforgiven Special Edition, Quality???????

I just wondered if anyone has the new S/E and has also seen the older one.
I had the origional R2 release and the picture was dark and sort of muzzy, not very good really and did no justice to a superb film.
Does the new one have a better new transfer or have they just bunged back on the not so good first job, I hope not.!!!!
Thanks, Mark.

I have the R2/4 Australian version, which I`m very happy with. It`s available for a tenner at EzyDVD http://www.ezydvd.com.au . A review of it can be found here http://www.michaeldvd.com.au/Reviews/Reviews.asp?ReviewID=2270 and here http://www.r2-dvd.org/article.jsp?sectionId=4&articleId=5156

Yeah, I too have the original snapper version and was seriously tempted but on reading the back cover of the new disc it seems as if the extras disc is the only addition.

No, it is a new transfer that is miles better than the original release. The original print was specially remastered to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the films release and it this print that has been put onto the new DVD. Must say that the film is looking superb now.

Thanks for that info, sounds so good I may even be tempted to buy it from play before its on offer, as a bit skinty most of the time.
Thank goodness they did a clean up job as the other one is dreadful, Thanks. Mark.
