Wonder how much Gareth Bale made from being the lead ape...

I think swapping the art around would have improved matters somewhat.

Great one

Arrived yesterday in mint condition . Classic movie, nice looking steel but bad embossing (of the) .

A classic movie but not necessary for the embossing title

Tempting, but I think this will drop even more. The price drop makes it seem like a good price, but in reality it's about the right price for this and most other Fox titles. I'm going to wait and see if it drops a little more. £7.99 or £5.99 would be very nice indeed.

These price drops reflects the current state of the Steelbook market.

crap artwork for such an iconic movie..........

Even the reverse art would of been better used on the front!

What were they thinking?!

 

[steelbobawny]

Have to say this looks nice in hands, the colours are nice and have a nice shine, it's not selling out at £8.99, probably down to the choice of artwork, could have been better. Hate the spoiler on the inside though, I have to avoid showing that to anyone that has not seen the movie, I remember them having that on the UK DVD front cover too, that was worse. Lots of extras on the disc too, wish more releases were like this.

The condition of the steelbook is very good too, zavvi are hit and miss with paint defects on older steelbooks on reduced prices, for me anyway.

£4.99 at the moment (it has been hovering around £6.99) and with code DVDBR10 today you can have it for a reasonable £4.49! I finally bought one as I don't have this on blu ray.
