There's a difference between compression artifacts, which are a result of the encoding process and not a part of the film, and other issues such as film grain, softness and other such things which are a result of how the film is shot. My bottom line is always, is this as close as possible to how the film originally looked. That may include soft focus, heavy grain, varying lighting styles and such.
Kenneth Brown's reviews I always take with a grain of salt. It's pretty clear he knows nothing about cinema.
