Actually it wasn't, they are listed a producers but have no active involvement, same with the X-Men films, Fox do this soley by themselves. Neither was it part of Marvel Studios MCU, it was to be part of Fox's Marvel Universe and have links to the same world as the X-Men films, but that seems to have been scrapped.

@Apollon I think you hit the nail on the head. Its now being rumoured to have been butchered with 3 main action scenes booted by Fox, and the director being removed from the editing suite wit the final 3rd act being edited by someone new appointed by Fox. He tweeted that the finished film isn't his film, but deleted the tweet shortly afterwards, probably after getting threatened by Fox's lawyers.

Doesn't bode well for the pencilled in sequel...
 
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Trank cut eventually gets released a year or so from now, nor would I be surprised if the Steelbook gets cancelled for lack of interest. I certainly hope not cause it would probably be the only incentive I'd have to ever see it.

Don't know about a Trank cut, for all we know Fox are trying to clear up the mess he made the best that they can. Makes you wonder if he jumped or was pushed from making the Star Wars film that he was attached to.

I thought that the movie looked crap from day one, they should have let the rights go back to Marvel after their first poor attempts, at least those were fun.
 
I was looking forward to going to see this. After all the negative comments here I'm not so sure it's worth the visit. I've pre-ordered the SB which was a reasonable price. Slight issue with using Paypal on HMV's online store, they take payment in advance and it's not so easy getting the money refunded. So tempted to just ignore this film.

I was hoping for more of a Man of Steel feel reboot. I personally didn't like the first films, thought they were pretty awful.

I paid with PayPal and they didn't charge me right away, they emailed me saying money will be charged when item is released
 
The movie was doomed before people even saw a picture of it.
From the beginning people said the actors were wrong (Johnny storm)
First picture of the bust of the Thing they used during shooting was said to be a monstrosity
Etc etc

Ok the film feels incomplete . thank to Tank vs fox but the movie got so much hate that of course it won't succeed. People WANTED it to fail and it seems they got what they wanted.

Now the film was a good origin movie !! It took its time to present all the characters enough and it open doors for great sequels

I'm a fan if the comics and i accepted the liberties they took.

It's not a perfect film but seriously it is not a bad film. Definitely not as bad as people want it to make others believe.

I hope people will stop listening to the reviews and just go see it for themselves. Maybe you'll hate it ok but do you always agree with critics?

Finally , the steelbook is looking amazing LOOOVE the back art !

I'll definitely get this !!
 
Really like that back and inside art. As a whole looks ok. Haven't seen the film yet and I'm trying to not read all the reviews and although it seems to be getting negative reviews I still want to see it and will probably add this to my collection at some point. The way I see it is surely not as worse as the orginal 2 (and I didn't mind the silver surfer one) even if they have changed the story.

Anyway my point is im ignoring everyones opinion and review until I've seen it lol

I was very excited to see this but reviews not so good i liked the trailer, so i decide i will wait for the Blu-ray instead hopefully a good Steelbook and not a matte finish.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I've been charged. Can't know 100% until the transaction drops over on my credit card statement. I will confirm once I know.
 
I can confirm that HMV do not charge your card until despatch.
The hold will stay on your card for the full amount for a few days and then drop off.

Not entirely sure on Paypal.

Also, keep an eye on price drops. I've had a previous pre-order with them, and I was charged the higher price despite their guarantee. Had to email them to get a partial refund.
 
I don't care what the majority of people say, I'm still looking forward to seeing this and will definitely be getting the steelbook... if I took any notice of what others said then I would've missed out on loads of films I actually love. Steelbook art looks great overall and is exactly what I was hoping for! :D

My mistake your right, just checked my PayPal "recent transactions" and the money has been taken.

Few worry over, I was thinking the money had gone elsewhere. I'm tempted to cancel and just order on card, should stop the up front payment. I too see the message about the money not being taken until closer to the release date, clearly doesn't apply to PayPal transactions.
 
just back from seeing it, didn't think it was as bad as all the reviews given in the press. not brilliant but not that bad either. most likely will buy it when it comes out, hopefully as a directors cut version

It states on HMV's website that if you preorder by card, they will charge it when the item is picked at their warehouse, but if you order via PayPal, you will be charged at the time of the order.
