and they just keep on coming .. tsk tsk ..
sa tingin ko, theyre like your regular photoshopped image that went bad .. (too much enhancement) 
Please watch first before you make your judgment. I've been watching a lot of cleaned up 60s and 70s war films recently. Done with Patton, The Longest Day, The Bridge On The River Kwai. 2 nights ago was Batle of Britain. Yes they are all quite clean, amazingly clean for such old movies. But personally, I like the quality of the finish. In my opinion, they dont have the effect to me as those overly photoshopped HOTORNOT photos which are obviously waxy and fake. Mind you, lack of grain does not make the movie look new. It simply makes the scenes instantaneously more eye-catchy and gives you better appreciation of the high def quality of your HDTV. I don't mind grains on an analog CRT but I'd rather not see them on a digital HDTV. In fact, when I watched a rather grainy high def version of The Godfather immediately after Battle of Britain, it was kind of letdown.
So while I appreciate that there are those who prefer the grainy look for film, advancement in digital technology has given us the opportunity to see the effects of noise reduction. Properly applied or overly applied, that depends on the personal tastes of the viewers Purists may not like it, but I personally prefer it clean because I think that the ultimate aim of high definition is to replicate what the eyes would see in real life. I see dusts in the Metro area but I don't see grains.
I guess that's why I would rather watch a movie on my home set-up than in a moviehouse. My eyes have had too much indulgence on clean and high contrast look. But that's just me. Call that a newbie preference, but that's fine by me.
Again this is just my opinion, but all those complaints against cleaned up grainy film based movies is like those film critics trying hard to find something wrong with a decently good movie that many normal viewers would not even see or care about.
Anyway, to each his own.
