Did they upscale the upscales from here?

The dirt is a damn mess!  there’s so many details destroyed by ai artifacts. They remind me of those photoshop filters to make photos look like they were sketched in colored pencils

[Smokey 2,650]

this stuff has just been upscaled to death. It looks horrible if you freeze it and zoom in on certain details on my computer. One of the worst remasters yet of the ones I have seen.

I played it on my 4k TV, it looks weird. I don't like it all ☹️

[scamper 1,807]

Some parts look great but others... The dirt, the stone walls... Seems they don't care much for "Bedtime stories" videos... First "Secret", now "Take a bow"... I'm scared thinking of what will they do with "Human nature".

[Sultrysully 2,483]

I love it but it feels like it will be forever before we get a complete HD videography.  

[lucasciccone 4,074]

It has some very unfortunate shots... The AI destroyed the details. They need to lower it down a little bit lol.

@Roy - your services are once again required when your electricity's back up and running!

 

O/T - the new thumbnail is gorgeous, tbh.

Update: we have electricity but no damn internet. I have the EY/D&D comparison ready. I just need to wait a couple of days for our internet to get back to make the Take a Bow comparison. I am using pocket WiFi at the moment.

That said, EMILY FINALLY KNOWS 4K. I have to say, I've seen worse remasters (cough cough SECRET) and this isn't one. The dirt and walls may look weird but for the most part, it looks okay. The TV screen parts are affected by the AI upscale.

A decent upscale but not disappointed.

[Smokey 2,650]

The people in here pretending this remaster is actually good must be Madonna's many fake accounts.

[CYSMM 655]

It looks fake. I don't like it at all. NRM is the best for me

[baymad4her 1,982]

Such a shame about this awful upscale. This deserved to be done properly, it could of looked amazing. If anyone thinks this is 4k needs to lay off the drink.

[lucasciccone 4,074]

I don't wanna be negative but... Who the hell give the okay for this upscale. Literally the first frame looks terrible 

 

[webo1958 99]

Totally agree - who ever signed this off needs to be spoken to! 
Again another fuck up with M’s legendary catalogue - how many more times do we have to suffer with the butchery - furthermore the originals are no longer available so this is all we’re going to be left with in years to come 

 

I find it unfathomable !!!

 

[webo1958 99]

Just found this far superior version on YouTube

Much better upscale

I think the mistake was in upscaling to 4K.
In my experience it’s impossible to go from SD to 4K and have a realistic result.

They should have just stuck to 1080p until they can produce actual film transfers

[subversive 961]

They seem to be worried only in the parts that madonna appears, wich looks OK and she is gorgeous, an the rest are... forgetable.

I just checked and compared the close-ups at 1:03 and 1:25 in both versions, and they basically look the same with only different color tones. How the one in Madonna's channel is considered badly upscaled that makes her look like a painting but this version is a good one? I just don't get it. Both versions in the parts i mentioned had same details, were blurry a bit etc. Do y'all want to see every skin pore to say something positive?

New promo on madonna.com

Good that they're trying 4K but without the original film scans is not going to work. Maybe they should just stick to 1080p and that's it.

[wtg1987 8,869]

Does nobody know what HD is any more ? ??

[Andreo 4,533]

So I'm the only one who thought it looks good? Uhm, ok
