But if people are really happy with the way the film looks then it's irrelevant surely? Sure, if people think the film looks poor and it's a terrible transfer then you'd look at the bit rate and the size of the film on the disc and think "well, that's clearly why it looks bad - the bitrate is pathetic and they should have done more with the compression and disc space". But if your eyes which watch the film are satisfied then so what?
I genuinely get the impression from that review that he's checked the bitrate first and then gone into the film with a negative mindset actively looking for 'mistakes'
