Suicide Squad: Extended Cut (3D+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) (HMV Exclusive) [UK]
- Thread starter snooloui
- Start date
I'm with you, not too keen on the front. Would have liked the mock up art for it. But like the back and inside of the steel.
Curious to know if the extended cut is also included on the 4K disc or just on the blu-ray. I have this preordered from Amazon alongside the steelbook.
It says extended edition and not DC.
EE doesn't necessarily mean DC.
Warner are getting desperate to promote this flick which was sort of a BO dud.
It's made $739 million at the box office on a budget of $175 million. Its also the 8th highest grossing movie of the year.
While I do agree that this is more a ploy by Warner Bros. to sell more copies of the home release, I wouldn't call it a box office dud.

As you said it's very subjective, this may be genuine poster art but it still doesn't work for me. It does have a random throw everything on there look to me. The designers do know more about art than I do but that doesn't mean I have to like it!
Seems like the UHD Bluray is only the theatrical version with the extended only on bluray
Not the art I would've gone with (I preferred the temp art), but I still quite like it... at least DC/Warner know how to do proper spines, unlike Marvel/Disney. 
Releasing UE / EE at the first attempt shows Studios desperation to boost sales. Unfortunately
That was once the trend to push up sales but now it has become routine.

Cough cough* like I stated, "I've never liked this mushroom cloud poster" meaning I know it's genuine and supposed to be like that, I've just not liked it since day 1 of seeing it.
But just because an apparent professional made it, it don't mean I have to like it or think it's professionally made.
I understand what they were "trying" to achieve but they failed miserably with "badly photoshopped cut and paste heads and shoulders"
You make it sound like just because a artist or designer etc makes a poster and photoshops them into a pose or random location on a poster it has to be correct and looks great when some people (must be the creative types or something) can see where improvement can be made
Obviously it's down the individuals eye and taste and some are photoshopped well and some badly which others will agree or disagree but I'm personally hoping we either get a WEA with hopefully better art OR this turns out gloss or at least spot glossed on the characters/ mushroom cloud. Could save it and make the colours pop out (matte won't do it justice)
Either way I'll still pick up a copy of this or another version but I'd rather see in hand pics first (unless better art is announced - looking at you Zeta)
If they had to go "busy" on the front instead of simple then they could have gone all the way with the title printed once in the middle and the comic book fight sound effects included in the design - may be considered too "boxy" and not flowing like the mushroom cloud artwork though but I personally like the way that each character has his or her own space in the design and reminds me a bit of a stained glass window.with thin strips of lead holding the panels in place.

For something very different to the other SUICIDE SQUAD artworks that I've come across, but equally artistic, there's always this one in B&W which I quite like but accept I may be alone in liking the B&W treatment for what is reportedly a very colourful film :-

I really like it, I was thinking and of course it would have been a total cash in but not the first time it's ever been done lol but if they had done different characters on different ones like they used to do with some cd covers you choose who you want so like a joker one, a Harley one etc etc that would have been cool although i would have been torn between Harley and Joker. I think this is a cool simple design kinda comic book like, I really like it don't even mind if it's matte it looks cool glad most of the characters are featured prominently. I think it's a nice job well done HMV and making it the extended cut is awesome 
Oh dear when did this happen kind of wish I hadn't seen it but then again coverage was always going to happen
