It's an odd watch. The quality is very workprinty - I don't think it's gonna disappoint anyone with the picture quality, nor impress anybody. It's what you'd expect. Not pretty, but watchable. SOME of the CGI is in place, and some isn't. It doesn't make much difference because Carrey throws himself into the role so much. The death of that reporter woman really disturbed me when I saw it on the official DVD, but here it doesn't make much impact with the crap picture quality - nor does the little Viking intro. And all the temp score is familiar Elfman tunes.

It's very much the movie as we know it - it's very clear at this point that this is gonna be a big hit.

It's an interesting watch, although since The Mask made it to theaters roughly as you see here, it's not a vital find. Workprints being much more important when their films have been raped!
