The picture quality on the Hunter Edition is good, but the problem for some is ITS TOO GOOD!
To purists, the picture looks to waxy and cleaned up, whereas the original was meant to be a little bit choppy and grainy.
So if you're a purist, no problem, grab the older edition on blu ray. However, I recommend the new Hunter Edition. Yes, there are screen shots online that try to sell how horrible the new quality is, but all the rest of the shots look AMAZING! especially the jungle shots! You can see the sweat on the character's faces.
