Great move, muddy audio - Rating: 2/5
Don't need to review the movie itself: if you are a fan of "Grease," you don't need to be sold on its pleasures. The Blu-ray "Rockin' Rydell Edition," however, requires some comment.
The overall picture is very good: colors are sharp, not overly saturated, good detail. No complaints -- the video transfer is pleasing.
The AUDIO, on the other hand, is awful. The soundtrack musical numbers are clear and actually improved upon in 5.1 surround. But the dialog track is astonishingly muddy. There is a noticeable difference between the audio quality of the dialog and that of the musical numbers. I thought it was just my imagination until, after viewing, my wife made a comment about how hard it was to hear the dialog. This was a major disappointment, and for that reason, I would not recommend the Blu-ray edition.
Haven't watched all of the extras yet, but they are as expected, fun but nothing you probably didn't already know if you are a fan of the film.
DVD - Rating: 2/5
The response was great and the shipping was great but the DVD was not in good shape. It fades in and out and is difficult to watch. But all and all it was ok.
Fantastic is the word! - Rating: 5/5
Great visual and audio, definitely cleaned up for the Blu-Ray release! For a 30 year old film, it can still compete with some of today's films. You won't be disappointed! BUY IT!
Daughter Loves It! - Rating: 5/5
Purchased for my (12y/o)daughter because she likes musicals. She loves it and watches once a week. Quality is gr8, considering the age of the original film.
Grease Bluray no extras - Rating: 3/5
The picture quality was very good with vibrant colors but I was disappointed that the newly released Bluray version had no extras; not even the original movie trailer.
