The DVD industry has often warned us against buying pirate DVDs because we risk disappointment from poor quality.
I decided to put this claim to the test and bought the following 3 major summer hits on pirate DVDs.
Here is what I found:
Pirates of the Carribean: a turgid film based on a theme park ride, comprising a series of quests each becoming more inconsequential, until the viewer almost loses the will to live.
Cars: a professionally engineered film but flavourless and selfsatisfied, lacking any semblance of a quality script and dialogue.
Superman Returns: a stolid, dull film that reinvents the story of Jesus sacrificing himself for the rest of us, but this time staring a white bread all American guy in tights.
The DVD industry was right - in each case I had bought a poor quality DVD, which was not worth watching.
Has anyone else out there wasted their money with these pirate DVDs?

you're talking apples and oranges. the industry is talking about the physical quality of the film. bad picture, bad sound, no menus, no extras, etc. you're disappointed in the film itself. you thought they were terribly made. had you purchased the full version (or saw it in the theatre) you'd have been equally disappointed because the stories are awful to you.
you mentioned nothing about poor sound quality, poor video quality, etc. in other words, you're complaining about the movie, not the dvd.

I borrowed a pirated dvd from a friend; Jason X. I don't know which was worse, the movie itself or watching it with a movie-goer's head in the middle of the screen. Quite an experience.

No I would NEVER buy a pirated DVD. I can understand if you don't like the movies but don't give money to crooks.
