Summary: Bad DVD copy - don't waste your money
Review: This is a terrible DVD. The company is Goodtimes Home Video. It was reproduced in Hong Kong or Tiawan. I'm very disappointed that Amazon.com would be associated with such a piece of junk.

Summary: McLintock!
Review: This Gemstone Entertainment VHS of McLintock! was very poor quality in sound and color. It had been edited and the voices dubbed over. I have quite a few Wayne movies and intend to get more but will be more careful to communicate and get more information from the seller before I buy. It was a new video.

Review: Excellent movie, but the quality of the DVD is terrible-very grainy. It's like they copied a videotape.

Summary: I thought DVD's were supposed to be better than VHS!
Review: This great picture is thoughtlessly wasted to DVD. I found that there are 2 studios that have released this picture and they both are in dire need of film restoration. I have a VHS copy that was released through John Wayne's estate some years ago and it is a top grade picture for VHS, unlike these DVD's. The DVD has scenes that bounce in and out with severe picture degradation, fuzziness and sound clarity. The studios should be ashamed to release a film with quality (or lack thereof) of this type. Then there's the widescreen. Originally shot in a Panavision aspect ratio of 2:35-1 and knocked down to a normal television format of 1:33-1, even the pan and scan technique is terrible. There are scenes where you can hear dialog but you can only see an ear. Even on my VHS the pan & scan is better to where you can actually see who's doing the talking. I'm just hoping that someday soon some major studio will release this fine picture on DVD the way it's supposed to be viewed, along with another DVD disaster, The Quiet Man.

Summary: Great film incompetantly copied onto dvd
Review: The distributors should have waited for a digital re-mastering of "Mclintock!". The film itseld s a classic Wayne O'Hara go-round but my old VHS tape is better quality. On this dvd scenes are scratchy and out of focus, color fades, audio sequencing is out of alignment, and many scenes are ineptly centered, just showing blank sets with the characters off the screen entirely.
The distributors should have waited for professional digitalization rather than a below acceptable transfer from a degrading copy. Affecionados of this and other classics should insist on quality remastering and not poor copies from old tape. This flim deserves to be viewed in widescreen or letterbox format.

Summary: Poor Quality Picture
Review: "Good Times" video is terrible. The quality looks like it was filmed from a picture playing in a theater. Color is bad and there are lots of lines in the picture.

Summary: McLintock!
Review: This is one of my all time favourite John Wayne movies. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to purchase it on DVD in Canada. Finally, I decided to import a copy. BIG MISTAKE! What I hoped would be a pleasurable evening's entertainment quickly deteriorated when I saw the dreadful quality (or lack of quality) of this DVD. I have seen worn out rental VHS tapes that far exceed the quality of this particular DVD. The manufacturer should be embarrassed by the poor quality of this offering. I rate this copy at one star only because there is nothing lower. Those seeking this entertaining title should save their money and await the release of a copy of McLintock that is worthy of the Duke.

Summary: Who butchered this great movie?
Review: Goodtimes video has butchered this great movie. Sometimes the person talking is not in focus or even on the screen. Some scenes are missing. I can't take it back for mine was a gift. Make sure you buy the version authorized by the Wayne estate if you want the real movie with all of the scenes included. I have that copy on VHS. Sorry to say I have not yet found it on DVD.

Summary: Some DVD copies are OK!
Review: I love this movie, I must have watched it a dozen times.
I have both the DVD and the VHS copies and the quality is as good on both, I find. However, the DVD is over 1/2 an hour shorter, so I suggest you watch the movie before the DVD. After you have done then the DVD makes sense, and it shortens some of the longer scenes, though it does cut a important scene concerning the appointment of the cook.
And for those people that say it isn't politically correct, for the majority of women it isn't these days, but I am a women and I agree with the whole thing lol.
This movie is good and funny, and the more you watch it the better it gets!

Summary: Quality of DVD is terrible!!!! Don't waste your money.
Review: I am longtime fan of this movie, but how disappointing only because of the quality of the dvd! The movie itself is five stars, but this one is zero star (one star is the lowest rating for Amazon) because of the dvd quality. It was very difficult to enjoy the movie as you watched the grainy, poorly lighted scenes.

Don't waste your money purchasing this Hong Kong/Taiwan version...stick to the VHS copy.
