Classic Mel Brooks film gets great Blu-ray transfer!

After watching this film for years on cable tv, one truly looses the real essence of the film. My wife and I watched this recently wondering how a High Definition Blu-ray conversion of a 30 year old film would look, we were awe-struck! This film simply looks amazing! It is perhaps one of the best older film transfers to any HD format I have seen to date.
The colors are brilliant, the detail is sharp, and the movie is laugh-out-loud funny!
Definitely a must for any PS3 or Blu-ray owner!

Blazing Saddles

A must have for any movie buff. This is truly one of the classics!

Wow!

The HD transfer of this movie is just outstanding. It restores a number of details that were barely visible in previous transfers - like the horses flying up in the air when the fake town is blown up toward the end of the movie. Color balance, contrast, and so on, are also better than any previous transfer of Blazing Saddles that I've seen. It really has terrific zip to it.

Still Funny after all these years

I think I've become Cleavon Little's number one fan. He and Gene Wilder are as funny as ever in this classic... good humor never stops making you laugh and it is especially true in this case.

Amazing transfer

I have been consistantly impressed by the quality of transfers from old films, especially "The Searchers" and "Blazing Saddles". Anyone who contends that an identical VC-1 transfer looks differently on either of the two HD formats is looking at the world through format skewed glasses. The same encode looks the same in either format, unless some of the bits are getting lost in the blu ray data transfer because the bandwidth available is SO much greater than the low bitrate VC-1 transfer needs :)

The only disapointment I see in this transfer is that Warner chose to remain constrained by the size limitations of HD-DVD when using the VC-1 transfer for the Blu-Ray release, notice that because there was no space on the HD-DVD version for "extras" the Blu version didn't get extras either.

I can appreciate Warner staying format neutral, but the customer who chooses a technically better format deserves software that takes advantage of that superiority, not software that is simply warmed over and dumbed down to the least common denominator.

All that said, Blazing Saddles is a worthwhile addition to your Blu library.
