Message from the King (Blu-ray SteelBook) [France]

Apart from the "wrongwayround" spine title and the rather too much print (hopefully some of it on the flyer and not printed on the steelbook itself) I do like the artwork :thumbs:
Don't have many yellow steelbooks on the shelves (although there are a few).

Clearly inspired by these two original poster artworks:-

Pop quiz.
Anyone know how many U.K. steelbooks have wrongwayround spine titles?

Certainly a whole bunch of first generation Studio Canal U.K. digibooks do have spine titles like that

Original poster artwork pleasing to the International crowd without domestic print "LA VENGEANCE A UN NOM" :thumbs: . . . with less print than the original mock-up got to be a good thing :thumbs: . . . but surely those logos near the bottom would be better on the flyer !?
Good artwork, as opposed to the better of the mock-up, marred by these unnecessary blemishes (same on the otherwise excellent French "Power Rangers" steelbook etc.) . . . rather like an attractive face with two warts on the chin.

Only "Message from the King" . . .
. . . that I have atm is the Prince Far I LP and for anyone interested in reggae but not familiar with PFI I'd say let "Under Heavy Manners" and "Free From Sin" be the first purchases :)

Confirmed visual (zero finish):-

Looks pretty good to me - would have been perfect without this:-

(zero finish with metallic reflections in the gold / yellow backdrop)


Open exterior and interior
 
Heh looks much worse than I thought. I really don´t like zero finish/metallic/raw metal steelbooks, looks so cheap!

Besides I just saw this movie the other day and was pretty disappointed. Another boring average/below average variation of revenge movie which brings absolutely nothing new to the genre and it´s not even shocking with violence or something else...

So easy pass.

For me a steelbook must have metallic effect, otherwise why take metal !??
