This colorization was horrible.

These movies belong in black and white.

Awesome video. The colorization is fantastic - it's a dream come true! Thanks for something really special.

[stupullen]

[electricland]

Great job on the hard work you put in.

Those who don't know how long this effect process takes should recheck their thinking.

[rickfarmiloe]

What's with the stupid sound effects? Great song!

I'll agree with you on a few points. There is a loss of ambience when B&W is made color, epecially in films inspired by the German expessionists. The Invisible Man wouldn't look right either.

I'd still like to check it out though.

I think colorization is best served when applied to low-budget 1950's sci-fi films. Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers, Plan 9 From Outer Space, The Giant Gila Monster, and The Killer Shrews were all movies I loved seeing in color.

@BillFromEllerslie OO I agree on experiencing movies in another way,I just kinda misunderstood your post didn't help when I read it it was 2 AM,I do like afew of them in color but some B&W films aren't suited for color just saying for example; the movie''the invisible man'' seeing as they used a type of cloth a the filming camera's would pick up on the film but it wouldn't show when played for afew reasons of the tech back then. So yaeh not real suited for colorization on that film

@bladevstwilight1

I love B&W movies and didn't say colorized versions were better or worse.

My point is that some of us like to experience different versions of movies, especially ones that have become very familiar.

I don't like the idea of people basically bullying film companies into not trying something new with existing films. I like to watch B&W versions, colorized versions, subtitled, dubbed, director's cuts, and theatrical cuts.

We can have it all. The old stuff's still there.

@arisztidoltz When They tryed to colorize the Invisible Man, who ever the fools who colorized it hadn't known about how there was a cloth with some color to made him appear invisible in the old films and they CGI'ed that cloth out for the film to be colorized which was easy to note what they did by how the difference was on the hole movie blightness and then the Invisible man was brighter

[bladevstwilight1]

@arisztidoltz Part two of reply

I mean the set-up and make-up to give the desired look and affect for a B&W film isn't good to show colored because of how crappy the color for the needed B&W shades well come out and showing big flaws in the affects and make-up compared to todays standers. Really somethings that shouldn't be messed with is like the Invisible Man

[bladevstwilight1]

@BillFromEllerslie Do you even realize the fact most of the B&W versions look better then the colorized versions? I'm 17 at the time I replied to this so you know,anyway fact is they was meant to say black&white for how if you compare the same movies colorized and the Black&white version you can see how the make-up and basically hole-set up made to give the movie the desired look and affect back then, makes a colorized version seem awfull
