Ever buy a "bad" movie just because it's a SteelBook™?

[digitalbabe]

So fess up-has there been a time when you've been seduced by the art of the Steelbook, but really didn't like the flick?

Examples? Chime in and have fun!

I'm usually very select with what steelbooks i get (film has to be really good for me or it's one of my favourites)

I've taken a gamble with Battleship though. seems like my kind of film (basically one big AV demo)

 

[Sery]

I let the artwork decide, I dont really care if I like the movie or not. Also how limited it is, lets say a steelbook is somewhat between ugly and nice but its limited to lets say 3k copies, instant buy for me

 

[plainview]

Yeah 10,000 BC

Not really movies I hate, but movies from which I only saw the trailer.
I didn't get the steelbook from others that I thought were average (Thor, Cpt. America, Hulk to name a few).

Generally I try to only get Steelbooks of movies that I really like, but sometimes it's not easy to follow this rule ...

Yeah, Scott Pilgrim is weird but I really enjoyed it. Most recent purchase for me was cars 2.

Cars 2 asia is one of the best steelbooks out there. INSANE gloss.

The last ghost rider movie. I stuck all my Ghost rider blu-rays in that case so its got 3d and regular Spirit of Vengeance and the extended of the original. It was the only Ghost Rider steel I liked. (For those aware of the German steel of the original movie)

 

[MakeMeHappy]

Oh yeahr, I have a few movies which I don't like in my collection as steelbooks, too...

- Green Lantern (GER)
- Priest (GER)
- Knowing (AU)
- Conan (FR)
- Sucker Punch (GER)
- Ghost Rider 2 (US)
- Drive (UK)

 

[soophing]

yes. bought kick ass. I don't like the movie.

Just bought 'Red Scorpion' Dreadful 80s action film with Dolphin Lundgren! Cool steelbook though, so couldn't resist!

 

[Seraphime]

Yes Priest

Ditto on that one dude.

 

[great1]

Transformers 2, the worst part is I saw it during the theatrical run and still bought it.

 

[grahamzxy]

I would buy a poor steel, not a poor film

 

[MayFlower]

yeah...80% of my steelbooks are crappy movies...I only buy it for the artwork as I appreciate art

 

[Sigill]

I won't buy a bad movie just because it's a Steelbook. I have bought some movies knowing that they are supposed to be bad in a Steelbook but there's always a chance I will like the movie! it doesn't always work, Green Hornet I'm looking at you!

I only buy Steelbooks where I like the film or if it gets good reviews and I think I might like it, but I think I may just broke my rule ordering Red Line. I haven't seen the film and it gets very bad reviews, but I like the cover and I took a gamble. I may even like the film as it has fast cars in it. :movie:

I bought 2012 simply because I had to flesh out a 2 for £?? offer and that was the only steelbook included. Watched the film once and won't be watching it again, but at least the steelbook is nice
