Or worse. I think it was the original Ninja Turtles movie that I had owned on DVD and the quality of it kind of sucked. Years later I got it on blu ray and I swear they just ripped one of the DVD copies to make the blu ray disc.

Sadly, that basically feels like what happened with The Fellowship of the Ring’s theatrical cut blu ray, too. It just doesn’t look that great.

Then the extended edition has decent fidelity but some bizarro green-blue color grading.

Yeah. I was left pissed and felt ripped off. High seas from that point on.
