MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN STEELBOOK

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - Zavvi Exclusive Limited Edition Steelbook Blu-ray!

Limited to just 1000 copies!

 

[psychoscot]

artwork is £7 at best, can't see this selling out "Ever" happy to wait

 

[javiermendoza]

Just ordered. 10% still works.

 

[Lollard2002]

Easy pass on this. Would rather have the Karloff Frankenstein (hint hint Zoom!)

 

[levi]

39% on rotten tomatoes. cancelling mine immediately. the way people were talking here was as if it were a timeless classic

Yes, agree about the Karloff and hopefully "Dracula" and "The Mummy" steelbooks sell sufficient quantities at Zoom to persuade Universal to commission steelbooks for the other 6 in their Classic Monsters Collection (even though one of the six has already had a non-slipcase steelbook release already).
Anyway, pre-ordered this as I didn't buy the Amaray when it came out about a year ago and only vaguely remember if from TV viewings a good while ago.

Maybe not a "Wow" steelbook but it's the best artwork out there for this title (IMO).

Different strokes for different folks mate. I wouldn't go by rotten tomatoes, you can only make your own mind up. It's prob on Netflix, so take a look first.

 

[paulboland]

I never go by rotten tomatoes ratings to make a decision on a purchase
I decide for myself some releases that are brilliant have low ratings on that site it's a waste of web space IMO

 

[levi]

lol i would gamble if there weren't a long list of other titles on pre order that im getting, so in these circumstances i have to rely on reviews/popular opinion

In this case, Rotten Tomatoes is just about right. The creation scene, with Branagh strutting around in pleather pants and oily torso . . . oh man, it was just bad. The lameness of this steelbook is a good match for the film.

 

[Flloydo]

Looking at ratings sometimes helps but everyone's tastes are different. There are some films that are in the 80%+ which I hate and vice versa.
I do look to get a rough idea of what the rest of the world thinks but even if it has a low rating I usually still check it out to make my own mind up.
Some films I love have terrible ratings and can never work out why.

I personally loved this when I was younger and I mentioned before that it bridged the gap for me between childish monsters to more serious darker monsters. I would say alien and this done that to me.

Haven't seen it in years though and I really can't stand that art which is a shame

 

[Lollard2002]

It was on ITV 24 a few weeks back and that was the first time I'd ever seen it and it was very poor. I think the rotten tomatoes assessment is about right.

I'm trying to remember what this film was about when I saw this many years ago. I ordered one to relive the childhood years. Been 'zavvied' full price on this one! @Flloydo

 

[Steelbookzombie]

Oh dear! I preordered this thinking it was a new release

Lol been 'zavvied' a couple of times recently because I had a hunch they may sell out (hellboy, space Jam, ghost busters) and a few coming like agent carter 2 but hey ho and a code was used with them all anyway.
Have a feeling at least 2 of those will drop (SJ & GB) but no biggie.

Be interesting to see how this does just a shame about the art

 

[Flloydo]

Is there a new Frankestein out? lol

 

[sunnyx]

Is there a new Frankestein out? lol

Does I Frankenstein count as 'new'? Think it was DE release that had this.

Thought that was last year

Also looks like the worst film ever made
