This steelbook was designed without a title in mind on the front.

Now that they've added it, it looks so obviously like an afterthought and too cramped IMO......
 
They are the proper titles for the country i live in. You may not like it, But i actually prefer them. Dead Men Tell No Tales is too much of a mouthful.

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES is the original title from the country it was made in, so that makes it the original title. You can prefer the alternate title if you want.

It was a good movie -- better than all of the others besides the first. It was basically a reboot of the franchise and original film.
 
Mine arrived today, very meh.
I wasn’t expecting much though, hopefully there will be a better release of this and Stranger Tides that is more in line with the Zavvi Trilogy.
Exactly my thoughts :angel::thumbs: Doesn't exactly sit too well with the original trilogy does it... :cautious:
 
I think this steel looks great.

Something about a large area of spot gloss on a smaller area of matte background does it for me. My only change would be to full gloss the back art like they did with beauty and the beast, Cinderella etc


Oh and to have the proper title

Is there actually a steelbook version without the title on the front? I know the German one has no title on the spine.
I bought the Aussi 4K amaray. My idea was to replace the blu-ray (or add it to) in the steelbook.
Otherwise I think I need to buy the 4K steelbook as well (best buy version).
 
For me the zavvi trilogy steels are fugly. The best are the original us/future shop steels for first and second part. I dont own this new one yet but it looks perfect to me. Its uncomparable with the zavvi trilogy ugly steels.

Yes, the German steelbook here in this unboxing as one example:-

Looks pretty darn good to me

Yes, it's true, this new one does not fit in so well with the matching trio of handsome steelbooks also from Zavvi . . . and exactly like the new one they all have embossing (if only the titles) and spot-glossing (if only the artwork):-

However, the new one does go rather better design-wise with a couple of the other PotC steelbooks out there:-

happy days. :) great week for arrivals so far! i am a big fan of the Pirates franchise. yes, they are not all brilliant, but i do find them very easy to watch - and fun. and this steel is an absolute beauty. the gold gloss really zings off the black matt background. :happy:


@cesarleeds, you wanted the J-card - here you go:

i did the same thing as @thewoe and placed all mine next to each other. they do look different, but i'm not that bothered. it may be because i'm being distracted by the awesome embossing on this baby. the whole skull is embossed, surround, eyes, nose, some of the bones, the lot. after all that, it's a shame they didn't do the title as well! :thumbs:

more embossing shots:

few more shots of the overall package:

one of the better UK steels this year for me. the film? well, each to their own. i'm happy to own it. Drink up me 'earties. Yo ho.

Yeah I didn't even bother with this because it didn't match the others. I don't know why I ever bother with releases that may have a sequel in future as there's a 99% chance they'll change style when it happens. So fricking annoying :angry:.
