Easy Pass!

Kinda hoped Oppenheimer was going to be next on Manta's hit list.

Money saved. Thank god. Another trash movie.

 

[JGCramp]

Of all the movies to come up with such dull and boring slips. It’s kinda funny, tbh.

 

[Lenny Nero]

I was hoping for the Dark Knight or The Fifth Element ('cause a dozen of them already isn't enough ), or Oppenheimer, yeah, especially right after the Oscar buzz (if there's any).

But the package is pretty good, lots of my favorite character cards, best looking steelbook out of the 4 in existence, and DL-B is the one I'd pick, if I didn't puke after this musical.

Love this, will there be a group buy or do we need to go direct @Aniv ?

Direct, or elsewhere. He hasn't run one this year.

 

[snow flake]

So no more group buys then

Are any group buys still being done on site now or stopped altogether - other than the target steelbooks ?

Blufans by wreck, US steels by apsmith, and I'll do UK GBs if asked, but that's about it at the moment.

Aniv managed Manta/WeET/Nova, so if he's stopped then there's a hole that needs filling. I'd volunteer, but I don't have GB contacts for the retailers

Haven't watched it as I hated the look of it from the trailers but I've only heard good things about it to be fair, although I still doubt I'd want a premium release for it. Fullslip is decent but I knew I had seen the art on something before so if I wanted it I'd probably just pick up the vinyl.

Absolutely loved the music in this so I plan on picking up the mutant exclusive with foil jacket and variant colours

The full slip will turn out great as always but I don’t want the art twice

[JinxyKatte]

The Fullslip is really nice but I am really not loving the Steelbook at all.

 

[tommyh84]

Steelbook is by far the best part of this release, will likely look great in hand

More I think about it though the more I'm likely going to pass completely. Not seen the film, peoples reviews aren't great and generally trying to be more selective in what I buy these days

And 7.1/10 on IMDB. Overall pretty positive. Was it as good the original? I don’t think so, but I’d give it a thumbs up.

@BluSteel2012 @Lenny Nero care to weigh in?

To be fair everyone I know in real life who's seen it said it was shite as well so meh

I guess it's all subjective. But it wasn't for me.

I loved the original Wonka films and Paddington, Greatest Showman etc.... But this was just a major letdown. Can't put my finger on what it was exactly. Maybe it was that Chalomet isn't a good singer? The songs are all wank and sound the same? The film is overlong and boring? I wasn't even watching it by the end. I just let it run because I thought my daughter was watching it with me. But it turned out she was on her phone by the end too!
