I notice it here and there, and sometimes only if I concentrate more on it. So right now, not a deal breaker. However, I'd still probably buy a US collection if there was ever a nice one like this.Yesterday I got the PAL discs of THE BLACK CAT and THE RAVEN. I played a good chunk of both of these, and I'd say I notice the speedup but again, it doesn't kill the movies for me. While THE RAVEN visually looked about the same as I'm used to on the R1 release, I could swear that THE BLACK CAT looked really good, maybe better on R2 than the R1 version (this was the stand-alone release). I don't know if this is the same print used or not, but I did like the UK copy better. I guess others' mileage may vary. Today I received the R2 discs of DRACULA PRINCE OF DARKNESS and FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN.

I guess the issue with me is if the movies are anamorphic on R2 where they weren't anamorphic on R1. Or if anything's better about them. I probably wouldn't just buy anything on R2, unless there was some kind of different reason. The exception may be some of the other old Universal films, only because they're my very favorites.
