Is it just me who thinks the front cover is spoilt by printing Mark Wahlberg's name over his head? Look at all the space at the bottom or just above. Grrrrr

 

[blu-steel]

Lame using the same art as another country did years ago. This is BS. This will get collectors to stop buying German steels.

how many you ordering of each steel chip

 

[ocielz]

and "From The Director of Training Day" kinda spoils it too.


:sniper: :snipe:

 

[Hooch]

Hmm...."Languages: English - Dolby Digital (5.1)" just like the previous german release? I was hoping for some HD audio...

 

[blu-steel]

I am ordering zero o this title
I love my blu banner German edition

 

[SaberTooth]

saw this on tv last year lol

It has a really cool major plot twist early in the film which i thought was pretty awesome, and totally unexpected, but man does the director seriously screw up the last half hour ...i was like huh? ...huh? ...WTF?

Still HMV apparently does not want my money, so..........

 

[cooey]

Love the film. I already have the standard blu, but might pick this up nearer to release

You make this sound like a bad thing.

 

[funkeule]

Looks great...a few months ago I was struggling to find the German steelbook, then I got it by chance and now it can be ordered without a blu banner and inside art...I guess I'm losing my mind...

 

[SaberTooth]

Indeed

Maybe i'm not hardcore enough, but there's is no way in hell i'd ever pay good money on a steel covered in writing i cant comprehend :/

 

[Baz_supreme]

Love this film, and yet I still don't own it on Blu-ray. I have no excuse now... really cool looking steel!

100 per cent agree with you dude, great film, great steel, looking forward to getting it and watching again, shame the audio is lossy though.

I am still surprised at some of the blus that are still lossy audio. I figured they would get a lossless release. Though on the flip-side maybe they are putting the concentration into other catalog titles rather than re-releasing titles with lossy audio. We may just have to settle with some of the lossy

Same here.

 

[karl01]

so is this or any other of the play wave getting any special treatment or is just ironman?

 

[Shanester]

Nice looking case but going to pass on this one. Too many releases coming out over the next few months and I need to be more selective for high quality discs.

PS When you have a decent 7.1 audio set up the last thing you want to listen to is 5.1 dolby digital. You can notice the difference and it ruins the viewing pleasure

Come on Paramount this is NOT acceptable

 

[cooey]

It is a shame regarding the lack of HD audio. I did the review of the UK disc for HDN and the major downfall for me was the lack of HD audio

 

[alvoi]

Anyone know the reason this didn't get a HD audio track in the first place?
