I'll most likely pick this one up.
Too bad Amazon isn't lowering the prices like they did for the Warner Wave
(which I waited too long for and missed out on :()
 
I think they zoomed in on the photo too much so that it has lost the original intention.

(it isn't censored because of the swastika, is it? Inglourious Basterds sure wasn't)

Am I the only one to think this cover is awful ?

Awesome movie, by the way... I would prefer a digibook for this one, but a steelbook will be nice too ;)

No you're not. I welcome alternative/new artwork, but not if it ain't an improvement. Because they've cut away Norton's arm on his swastika tattoo the photo loses most of its symbolism and becomes just a dull headshot :squint:

The only thing I can say about the Tatoo being missing is it isn't in the regular release either. The regular release is a worse picture than this.

Not the direction we I would've gone but I like all of the gray shading being that a lot of the film is black and white. this is one cover where the less color the better because the way Derrick saw everything was black and white. Now that I brought the room down sounding like a douchy film student....

Hopefully the back looks better...


Those of you that were disappointed in the cover art or thought it was disappointing that the swastika was cut off.... It isn't! Look in this video and you will see the cover art, back and inside are pretty awesome IMHO.

He review's it last in the video :

I don't like this artwork on this one, again too plain. I think this has been a dissapointing wave from Alliance, there artwork is usually good but these steels are very poor IMO.

Yeah i agree they are just cashing in releaseing any titles in a steelbook most from alliance are always poor and a cheap feel to them.
