Three Kings [Blu-ray] [1999]

Firstly, I would like to say that this was delivered via USPS and the case arrived cracked and scratched up. Luckily the disc wasn’t damaged but I am very displeased nonetheless. This must be a HD rerelease of the original DVD transfer because it suffered quit a bit in terms of visuals. Now this is a blu-ray not a 4K Blu-ray but watching this in 2021, I can say it definitely could have had more attention paid to it before it got released. This isn’t a hugely popular film, so although it was not the best transfer, this is probably the best it’s gonna get. Note that while it could’ve been better, it is far from unwatchable. In terms of the film and story itself, this is not based on any truth, but it definitely fun and a good film to watch contemplating the worth of war and the repercussions of it, all wrapped up in a sort-of-heist/redemption arc.

Lost the old copy we had so ordered a new copy, transaction was fast with free shipping, disc arrived undamaged.

Three Kings is a great 'modern' war film and a great representation of the talent of its director - David O. Russell. I previously owned this film on DVD and this blu-ray represents a solid upgrade in both a video and audio capacity. While there are no new bonus features, it does contain all of the extras that were on the old dvd release. Would recommend the upgrade.

David O. Russel's making of documentary is worth the price of this disc alone! Future film makers take note! His video diaries are very revealing about the business and process of making a movie. As for the film itself, the performances are great! The story is also fun and effectively engrossing. The director has crafted a fine film here! The bluray looks and sounds terrific! And there are plenty of entertaining disc extras to peak your interest in Russel's film making journey. I highly recommend diving into this Blu-ray.

Three Kings in my opinion is excellent movie, although sadly a bit "forgotten" over the years given all the huge other movie options out there over time. Anyone interested in this genre and has not seen it before, should take a look! Excellent cinematography, action, characters, and has a message. Very well done! They should release this in "Anniversary" format, re-vitalize it. Excellent price point currently, almost no reason not to have it!

I saw this when it first came out and before I knew who David O.Russell was and I really enjoyed it. It was engaging and clever and had some very interesting camera work. Now that I’ve become familiar with the directors other works like American Hustle, The Fighter, I Heart Huckabee, and Silver Linings Playbook, I realized it was lacking from my collection and Best Buy had it for a good price so I picked it up and I’m glad I did.

Pretty good take on the Gulf War. Movie was filmed in a weird way which makes the parts of the movie play in slow motion but audio is regular speed. That threw me of at first. Also color filter is a bit strange.

I really wished that they release this movie in 4K Blu-ray. I never get tired of it and can watch it over and over. George Clooney and Mark Walberg are perfect for this movie.
