DVD - muddy picture?

From a DVD review site:

"The quality of the films' look will probably startle some. The image is quite grainy and muddy at times, especially in the first film. One only has to surmise that Coppola wants to keep it this way."

Thanks for the link. I'm one of those artsy fartsy types, so I can forgive the muddy shots on the DVD. I'd prefer it that way, too, if I were FFC.

Weird - the picture looked absolutely beautiful when I saw the preview of it at the press conference...

It's gotta look better than any other version we've seen, though - you would think!
