The main problem is that it has massive jaggies everywhere due to messed up filtering. Like, REALLY bad jaggies; this title looks like a very poorly upconverted (nearest neighbor) 960x1080 master. I'd rather have a softer upconvert picture than one that is plagued by visible aliasing artifacts throughout the film. On top of this the DVD is the Director's Cut, while the BD is the theatrical cut.
Here is a direct screengrab from LW2 BD: (make sure to expand to see full 1920x1080 resolution)

Yuck. All of the Warner filtered transfers are like this (LW2, Willy Wonka, Perfect Storm, Caddyshack, Fugitive, Enter the Dragon, 1st release of FMJ, etc). "Next" and "Dirty Dancing" also have serious aliasing issues.
