De Nero and Peci are great in the Irishman too,they still got it.👍♥️
True Romance is the best I have ever seen . This movie is right up there in a close 2nd. Raging bull one of the greatest movies of all time hands down. The editing in this is brilliant!!! Far as Dinero his greatest performance ever my opinion.
They were both in Irishman
Ken, awesome review of a great Criterion release (one of the best of the year so far)! Yes, longtime Scorsese filmmaking partner Thelma Schoonmaker won the Academy Award for Editing. She’s edited most of Scorsese’s films I think. I agree a digibook would have been nice for this release. Criterion’s still got it!! Criterion added a couple of new excellent video essays for this release in addition to the features ported over from the older releases.
Wow I just said that before I read your comments. She is a brilliant. She like Marty right hand man .
So glad I got this title GIFTED to me! (Thanks Dad!)... I love this movie, definitely in my top 5 Scorsese films! I'm only 22 but I wish I was my dads age so I could've enjoyed all these masterpiece's as they were released in theatres... He always says nothing beats the old school movie experience!
I completely agree. Still one of the very best 4K discs out there!!
Thanks for the review
Raging Bull .. is Top 3 Scorsese for me.
For whatever reason we still don't have Scorsese's After Hours and Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore on blu-ray which is criminal. Supposedly Criterion has those and will put them out soon.
Scorsese's Mean Streets blu-ray has been OOP for a while. Have a feeling a 50th Anniv 4K is coming next year via Criterion too!
King of Comedy.. is great as well! For those who didn't pick it up ...it's a Fox blu-ray. Once it goes OOP that's it.. unless the mouse decides to re-release it.
I have After Hours on blu ray. It’s a great movie. I picked it up from Amazon in Spain for about £15 (including delivery).Lovely picture. If you are in USA it might be a different cost. I haven’t seen it on any Criterion release schedule yet.
This excellent 4K edition of Raging Bull is definitely one of the highlights of the year. 👍
My only complaint about the packaging is about somebody's idiotic decision to use grey font against a black background for the cover art. The spine and back cover are pretty much unreadable. 😒
(I'm Canadian - so, yes, that is how we spell "grey" 🙂).
Yep I picked it up and watched it. Interesting what they did with the color. Spot on review.
One more thing about the audio. Probably one of the better uses of surround sound in a 2 channel source. I had the DTS up mixer enabled so I had all 7.2.4 speakers available. For example, the non boxing arena scenes, most of the sound was coming out the center channel to a degree that I would have taken some points for lack is 2 channel stereo separation. However, every time it switches to the boxing scenes in the arena, the soundstage opens up big and wide and it was very immersive. The surround parts are there and they are not kidding when they say 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack.
$43 on Amazon for me, shame some discounts only apply in certain countries.
Awesome review Ken🆒👍
Robert gained 50 pounds for the role for the end of the movie after he was retired. You think he was in a fat suit.
What's your thoughts on Shindlers list 4k? Only because it's black and white and it's a wonderful life?
Just watched Schindlers list 4k the other night. Amazing 4k video quality and the black and white visuals are spectacular!
@@undeadmedia5343 That's what I thought too.
Watched it last night in 4k. And Double Indemnity 4k today. Both are a very good transfer.
Possible community suggestion:
Start at mid level media discord server where we can all talk about releases share our pick ups, speculate about new announcements etc.
I could possibly in the future, but until then there is a great one I'm a part of called The Movie Room! Check it out here - discord.gg/JPjTrksC
I loved it too. But have you seen New York Ripper ??? I think that beats everything. I seen it on cinema on 35, on vhs on dvd. but when I saw the 4k I was freakin shocked. It is amazing
No, but I do own it and really need to watch it. Blue Underground does fantastic work.
@@midlevelmedia Have you never seen The Irishman?!? Their 4th collaboration?!
Also what in the HELL are you talking about The Shining winning Best Picture?! Are you delusional? Lmao it was actually Kubrick’s ONLY film to be nominated for the razzie that year! For worst director!
My 4k of Raging Bull came in the mail last Friday from Amazon but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet but I will soon 🥊🥊🥊📽📽📽
Nice review Ken. I understand that Criterion tends to make its packaging very plain but for me compared to Arrow's packaging it just seems too bare bones. For such an iconic movie it deserves so much more.
I wish Criterion would have done the PACKAGING like Second Sight or ARROW VIDEO with posters, lobby cards, screenplay, storyboards etc.
Hands down Robert De niro and Al Pacino are one of the best actors of all time.
First one baby
Pure cinema. It's one of those films that gets better and better as you gain life experience to really appreciate it. De Niro was at the peak of his game for this one. I might go check out The Deer Hunter now on 4k
Excellent 4K, I haven't been impressed with Criterion transfers, but this one for me is their best work yet on the 4K format. I hope this quality continues, and this could be on my top 10 for the year. Its nice that its for a great movie like this too, a must-own disc.
You mean as a whole or just lately? Because that Satyajit Ray APU TRILOGY was an astounding restoration.
I can see if you're directly comparing them to their 35mm prints then you might be a little unimpressed, but I mean Criterion are generally the best transfers you'll find....
@@deckofcards87 He *does* have a point if he's referring to their overdependence on 2K transfers of late. I'm continually disappointed at how many titles only have a 2K scan these days.
@@deckofcards87 To be honest I haven't been much impressed with Criterion on 4K, but I thought they did a really nice job with this one.
I picked this up last week, looking forward to watching it. Thanks for the review!
You'll love it!
My most hungrily awaited release for the rest of this year also boasts one of De Niro's iconic characters, but it ain't Jake La Motta. It's Neil McCauley in :"Heat."
All time classic film and one of my favorites of all time,I remember when I first watched Raging Bull I didn't think I would like it cause it was in black and white and man was I impressed the characters just keep you glued to the screen with there amazing acting chops and chemistry and I'm a big boxing fan and the fights with Sugar Ray Robinson were amazing 5 star movie for sure and great review man.
Worth every penny..got my criterion 4k today and watching it tonight..Its a Top 10 masterpiece for me..Glad you loved it great video Ken..
I need to watch this, got the mgm release in my collection will probably pick up the 4K in November as I’m planning a sale haul in November since i have to pay out for atm
By any chance is the picture looking so great now because you are watching on an OLED? I know the initial order was cancelled by Amazon, but did you still get one?
I just ordered it on Amazon. The price actually is $49.99 when it goes off sale.
Get it while it's on sale for sure!
On Amazon it'll probably be 35
Great review, thank you! I've never seen this movie. Perhaps I'll rent the new 4K disc.
It's a damn Shame how bad goodfellas looks on 4k. I really wish some company or Marty could help fix it.
Agreed. At least Casino looks great.
@@midlevelmedia very true. Casino looks amazing on 4k my God . Another great transfer 👏
@@midlevelmedia Goodfellas was one of my 1st 4k's. I was very disappointed, and was shocked on how good Casino looked.
Just stick to the 2K transfer.
Criterion has done an awesome release of this on blu ray 4K. The audio commentary from the audition from the laser disk 1990 had Martin Scorsese and his writing partner. I ordered mine I cannot wait to get it. Would you believe I have to pay A$80 for it? : ) Check out the commentary from the 1990 - it's worth while a listen. Keep the cool show coming Ken.
@MidLevelMedia three movies need 4k rasterisation: 1. Dark city 2. Equilibrium 3. Cobra. What is your opinion? Looking forward to your response. Thanks for the content.
I would love to see taxi driver get a criterion 4k release
It has one unfortunately in the Columbia Classics Vol 2 set.
I’m glad I watched it on prime before I bought it a sports movie should be for me but I can’t do the black and white movies I’ll have no desire to ever watch this again so I’ll pass on the 4K
I really like this movie but the 4k version is not cheap to get in Europe. I must import it from USA which will cost around 55 €/$. I was a fan of Scorsese‘s movie not anymore. I would rather get the Dollars Trilogy for 65€.
You could say that Joe Pesci is a “funny guy”!
It's really disappointing there aspect ratio isn't 2.39
It looks bare bones. I wish Criterion did better PACKAGING like Second Sight or ARROW VIDEO.
If you want a laugh. look up Raging Bullwinkle on You Tube.
Funnily enough the shining on release was nominated for worst actor/director at the razzies
If I had to settle for great artwork & packaging and a lousy 4K transfer or a great 4K transfer & skimpy artwork and packaging. I would be happier with the latter.
Don't get me wrong. I am very happy with this release.
It's my favorite Scorsese film with a benchmark level acting performance by Robert De Niro that earned him his second Oscar, this time for a leading role. De Niro actually put on about 60 pounds (27 kg) to portray Jake LaMotta in is latter years; those are not pillows in his abdomen folks. All the actors gave top notch performances in this film.
Unfortunately, this movie didn't win the Academy Awards in 1980 for Best Picture and Best Director, instead those two awards went to "Ordinary People". Ordinary what? That's right, the movie that nobody remembers while Raging Bull is considered a masterpiece by most, making it to 4th spot on the American Film Institute's top 100 list.
I own the Blu-ray and I ordered the 4K from Criterion a couple of days ago during the 50% off sale.
Enough with extras! Usually a waste of bit-rate. I rarely watch them once. Just give us the best looking film. I can imagine Scorsese is burnt out discussing every aspect of this film. Criterion should just include a vial of Marty's blood and satisfy everybody for once and all. Overall, everyone wants detailed explanations and a guide to explain every nuance of every work of art. This mindset has destroyed movies in general. Audiences want to know every detail about a character from the moment of conception.
The extras are on the bluray disc, so it should in no way affect the 4K presentation. It looks beautiful
@@midlevelmedia Yes and that's more than enough. It's already overkill. To demandt even more is just weird.
Meh... Slightly overrated.
What's up with the cover it's so dark I can hardly read it
Have you not seen The Irishman?!?? @midlevelmedia
Yes. Forgot about that one.
