Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The set looks very nice. If you have never ever owned a Universal Monster film in any format, this is a nice one stop shop of the entire legacy. To most people who have been fans of these films for years, including myself, it is a complete waste. All it is, is a re-issue of the Legacy Collections, with the Abbott & Costello movies and the 1943 version of Phantom thrown in. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to buy this collection with a price tag that insults my intelligence. They should have done it Blu-ray. If they had done it Blu-ray as opposed to DVD, the cost would have been less for the studio and consumer, because you can fit more on a Blu-ray, and thus there would be a lot less discs. Plus, how does a studio go from making an awesome Blu-ray collection, back to making a DVD collection? That is backward progressive technology wise. They need to do a Volume 2 of The Essential Collection.
