| This occured to me after posting a review on Final Destination 3. The only place i had to do a film only review of the thing was in a section where it said two disc edition. Now as this actually specified a two disc edition of the film should a film only review been down rated as it doesnt fulfill the category heading at all. In fact should their even be an option for a film only review of a film/DVd that specifies it is a special edition/directors cut/two disc version etc.
My feeling would be that you shouldnt do that, but would be interested in what others may say! | |

| Knowing that the titles on ciao are questionable at best and that they do give you the option of a film only review, then you are entitled to write a film only review. I see your point, but one disc or two, does it matter at the end of the day IF YOU PRESS THE FILM ONLY OPTION ? | |

| But do they give you a film only choice because they would find it really nigh on impossible to actually change that option in their database? It isnt something I will ever worry about personally but it is something that just popped into my mind because I dont see how you could justify doing a film only review on something that says it is more than just a film.
I'm not going to rate someone down for it, and like I said i have just done exactly what I am talking about, but you would think that if a consumer has a choice between reading a review on, for example, The Godfather or The Godfather special two disc edition then they would rightly expect to see a difference in the reviews on each page. I think I would! | |
