The artwork looks to modern, like the typical photoshop artworks today:-(

Why they dont use a painted original artwork or this:

Especially with the current transfer.

I sincerely urge anyone who hasn't seen it to search out the MGM 2 disc Special Edition DVD of this title. It is significantly superior in all aspects.

The more who do, the more someone in the studio hierachy will realize they have to get their fingers out and give this, and other classics the transfer they deserve.

I have the MGM 2 disc Special Edition and just watched it and the special features disc again today to reacquaint myself with the film. The film itself is great and watching it reaffirmed my decision to buy this Steelbook.

An interesting fact for those of you who might not be familiar with this Allied battle: More Allied forces were killed in this battle than on D-Day. The director went to great lengths to retell this battle accurately. Hopefully the Steelbook will include some special features as are found on the 2 disc Special Edition DVD.

Frankly, if you had read the book, or spoken with veterans you would know that the film is wildly inaccurate in many aspects, even if hugely engrossing as a film.

As regards the quality of the Blu Ray - you will be disapointed - I don't know anyone who has already seen the 2 disc special edition DVD who hasn't been.

Zavvi displaying more accurate artwork for this and the other Fox titles (Amazon boosting the colours it seems). Zavvi also have different inside artwork for this one:

I did not say that everything in the film was 100% accurate and there are a number of veterans who participated in the action that are featured in the documentary. Are they telling lies? Lets just say that this film went to some length to bring some truth to the way things unfolded unlike some Hollywood films that are very loosely based on truth.

Come on, I didn't say it was entirely inaccurate! And Hollywood - well the nonsensical junk about 'Enigma' just about says it all!

That said, I seriously suggest you read the book by Cornelius Ryan. It will give anyone a more balanced insight of proceedings.

The Blu ray transfer quality is good but not excellent
There is no extras like there was with the 2 disc DVD Special Edition
Picture Quality is better than the DVD
The video and audio transfer are far superior to the DVD release
If your into extras you should still keep the MGM 2 Disc DVD Special Edition
