Oh my God, that looks worse than I imagined :-(
WHY did they have to DVNR it ? :-(
In some of the shots the people look like wax figures, where is all the lovely grain and detail ? :-(
Well the only good thing about it is that the sound is in correct pitch and even when it's hard to tell from the short samples, it seems it's also in the correct speed
Holy mother of God, i'm crying:
"Full cinema listings and dates will be available soon, in the meantime we can confirm that there will be screenings in the following countries, with more to be announced:

Well yeah, I meant any form of home release. Well at least the sound is good. Showing in Australia too!
Yes, indeed is great, besides the picture quality is mind blowing compared to the old vhs. In Argentina is also gonna be shown, so i am very happy man. I hope they add extra material for the home release
I've compared with the 4:3 release, and although it gained some little information (image) on the sides, that is nothing compared with the cropping made to make the image 16:9.
The video as much more image cropped on top and bottom, than image added to the sides.
What scares me is the fact that USER MIKLOS will be right. I see the same camera angle shots as on the old VHS tape. So this may be the proof the old Budapest MAfilm reels are truly gone
Yup - I think that's beyond debate. Even more gutting than missing things like the rock n roll medley is that Tue Your Mother Down and Crazy Little Thing... are butchered. Still, at least Tear It Up was left in which wasn't originally the case with Wembley
Really?
So are you saying that if the edit is EXACTLY the same as the VHS (which judging from the trailer, the running length and the wording of the press release, it is), then Queen have decided against reinstating the missing footage and instead are just hoarding it in the archives?

That doesn't mean they don't have the full thing. Wembley DVD has the same camera angles than the VHS release (with minor changes), but still they have the full gig in multi-cam but decided to edit the DVD with the already known angles from the VHS edit. If they wanted, they could have release Wembley DVD with a completly brand new camera angle edit. (the first Wembley DVD release has 4 songs with multi-angle)
But still i believe that they don't have the full Budapest gig. Just the original negative used for the VHS release. Maybe they will prove i'm wrong with the DVD/Blu-Ray release.

Just wait fot the home release. I am quite sure that will be the full concert, or at least will include more footage.

============================
Saying and seeing are two different things so indeed lets wait for the DVD. I personally think we see a restored edit and NO originally complete tranferred master tape

*sigh* hopeless. Must be my English then , I dont assume the board is full of people who are unable to read and interpret what i said hundred times. They had access to the original camera negatives as -but ONLY- in the form of the final edited film, thats why they were able to get rid of the old "yellow" credits and make a new transfer from the film. (since the film reel itself is property of the hungarian state film archive, QPL have the rights now for cinema release (see Brians soapbox post !! and a new transfer) Period.
A red-baiting trailer with dodgy editing, to promote the musical release with the worst artwork since Heino . Well, at least we won't be able to say that they raised expectations unrealistically high.
