Sure it's 720p, but the bitsreams are quite lacking compared to most 720p sources. I'm not quite sure on the hard numbers, but for example, when I rip a 480p movie (assuming 2 hours in length on average) off a DVD, and the source file size is around 6 GB before compression, I would expect a 720p HD movie offered from iTunes to be bigger than 3 GB after compression.
I just put Iron Man onto my iPad it was 3.38 gigs(most are quite a bit less than that though). But I don't disagree with you at all, I think it goes along the lines with what I said in their lack of titles in HD even. Hopefully they can improve on it in the future.
