Thanks for the pics guys. The matte finish seems to work for this steel.

Agree! I'm glad I cancelled the order once I received an email from Zavvi regarding a delay.

Agreed. The colours look muted and dusty which is part of the artists work. A coat of gloss would just take away the impact of the art imo.

I agree with you guys... just received mine and like with the There Will Be Blood steelbook, a matte finish definitely suits this style of artwork. Pretty nice steel overall imo.

I've never understood the hate for matte. Like previous posters have already covered, I think a matte finish suits it.

Great! Mine has just arrived. I thought the description said there would be a booklet included

For those who are interested, even though the J-card says it is region B locked, the disc says region A and B.
Hope this helps someone.

They most likely just copied and pasted the description from
The Deer Hunter - Limited Digibook (Studio Canal Collection) Blu-ray

All of the extras content will be the same except the booklet and packaging

I did wonder that, but still, slightly disappointed...

I believe a gloss finish would enhance this artwork a lot, but this matte isn't bad.

Another mediocre steelbook release from zavvi!

 

[SaberTooth]

I wish this had a bigger run. i wld love to pick one up @ 9.99

back "art" sucks tho

 

[lgans316]

Cheap release. Going back. [emoji107]

Have the steelbook it is nice, but maybe the cover is to bright from a film like this?

TBH i'm fine with Matte it works with the film.

Streaky matte finish [emoji107]

Can't decide whether or not I like this; as soon as it went up for pre order I made sure I got in there and ordered...As well as being an incredible movie (goes without saying) the biggest criteria on a steelbook for me is having exclusive artwork.
This release ticks that box (although I'm still on the fence whether or not I truly like the design) this would of been one steelbook where I would of happily seen the original DVD artwork used- The image of De Niro with the gun to his head is iconic, would of looked great with the right finish/nice back artwork.

I received a couple of these the other day with slices across the opening (opposite the spine where they are usually cut). Got replacements this morning, also cut. Everybody should take a closer look at theirs & inspect them thoroughly!

No booklet then.. this is an easy pass. As is 'The Elephant Man', 'Mulholland Drive', 'The Graduate' and 'The Third Man'. All from the previous wave of Studio Canal digipack releases (2009 i think). All of which had booklets.

My personal preference of course.
