I too will say that the Scope aspect ratio is a lot more favourable with me too. I don't mind the occasional great director's going to Flat 1.85:1 ratio but i wish more would stay/continue to use the Scope ratio instead. Raimi on believe had only done 1 or 2 other movies in in Scope before Spiderman 2. But he trully is a master when he uses the technique and wish he stuck to it and not his usual flat ratio. (I remember seeing the teaser trailer being shown on one of our flat print movies and seeing black bars on the bottom of the screen. Man was i happy to see him use Scope) Now Spielberg is another great director of our time that i wish would go back to his roots of directing once again. A.I. would of been amazing to see a wider image of the futuristic technological world. Yes it still looked stunning but then Spielberg did another futuristic movie called Minority Report and WOW! did it ever look awesome. Now with the new Batman movie i am glad to see Nolan sticking with his SCOPE ratio and breaking away from the past 4 movies where they were all in the Flat ratio. Can't wait to see it in action

Too bad more movies couldn't be scope because to me it just seems to be add something to the movie. I don't know what it is but i like it a lot
