I'm glad this one is £45, as swear the gladiator one was £50? It's probably my favourite overall ToC, and the only one I have actually wanted since V For Vendetta. Hopefully the 4K has DV like the US release, but there's no mention of it, so suspect not.

Ordered for £35 at HMV with code. Happy days

Hmmm..

The US was full gloss right?

It was, and this also said glossy in the description initially... those photos are evidently matte/zero, though. One point to note is that's the lionsgate version for elsewhere in Europe. It's WB in the UK, so it'll be different in some way for us. Whether that's just a logo on the spine, we'll have to see. At least Dolby vision is confirmed.

Why streaky matte the useless basterds.

These c*nts don’t know their ar$e from their elbow do they

And this
Ugh. This was my last code purchase with HMV as well. Should I keep it for old times sake?
Streaky and nostalgic all in one.

At least those who originally imported the "superior" version won't be so now

One (1) movie/year. The business is booming for these "Titans" it seems !

 

[Lord Vader]

"Yeah, I'm thinking I'm matte.."

Wow that looks ******* horrendous.

Yup.

Please tell me the artist signing his name to this is using a pseudonym...

And no... it's not because I'm an artist and claiming I could do better...

It's because there are innumerable artists out there who could have done better.

Shows you how long it is since I last bothered checking on the steelbook scene that not only is this the first viewing (unless I have dementia) of this, but also the reason I came here compelled to examine this travesty in detail was because Zavvi emailed this horror show to my inbox to ask if I want to buy it...

Having seen that this is the state of steelbook I'm half tempted to offoad my few hundred of the things out of sheer shame in order to utterly divorce myself from this field and declare Amaray the winner in the 'better artwork' stakes.

Nice attempt to convince yourself you've done good by missing I'm assuming years of steelbook releases, now OOP and unattainable, or at triple the price.

 

[Rockafella]

I wouldn't poke this with a s***y stick tbh, no way.

 

[Beersandblurays]

HMV payment taken ( I miss the referral code days )

 

[sbarker]

Bleh, forgot to cancel this after getting the Novamedia steel.
