Steelbook Hall of Shame

[jbsolo]

As much as we love movies...we also love a steelbook with a great design...inner artwork, embossed/debossed covers, intricate designs...BUT once in awhile studios get lazy and give us sub-par design, unimaginative steelbooks. Some might like it but majority of us just don't get it! so this is a place to "celebrate" these bad releases!

Any nominees...?

looks like Spiderman 1, 2 and 3 from Future Shop will be a great contender and Casino (Play.com) with red faced cover.

The Spider-Man Trilogy FS Exclusive: The images on the front may be removable Lenticular Magnets revealing Glossy Red Steelbook finish.

I wouldn't knock them just yet!!

I don't think Casino was that bad at all. The cover did have a red tinge but the rear and inner artwork looks good! I would nominate the Gran Torino releases, they just looked plain dull to me!

Good Save, my friend! We can only wish! I will be glad if that happens!

Here's hoping. Surely FS looked at the images and thought "WTF?" - I have faith. Fingers crossed.

Armageddon and Die Hard with a Vengeance (both UK)

Serious lack of imagination with those.

 

[wolfmansgotnards]

People are listing Steelies that arent even out yet. How do you know? Really?

 

[CaptainCoffee]

Green lantern HMV UK exclusive.

Sucked.

 

[tsgee]

Kick Ass (original UK release)

 

[Sigill]

Armageddon and Die Hard with a Vengeance (both UK)

Serious lack of imagination with those.

I think Die Hard with a Vengeance might be decent. Depends on back and inside artwork!

The white wave from Germany (Pearl Harbor,etc)....

 

[sunnyx]

Casino? You kidding me?

I think Predators Play.com is awful. Huge disappointment for a great franchise only to be insulted in the presentation of a so called collectors item. The only reason I wont bin it yet because there is no other release and I dont have the aamray otherwise it be long gone by now.

The white wave from Germany (Pearl Harbor,etc)....

+1 They all look awful IMHO

The white wave from Germany (Pearl Harbor,etc)....

And that was bad to the bone

I don't care for Play.com's Iron Man..

 

[Jason Bourne]

The white wave from Germany (Pearl Harbor,etc)....

^^^ This with a huge +1


That white wave from Germany was just AWFUL. They truly are the worst steelbooks just all around (and to think I own one ).

 

[Frasr]

Source Code play.com exclusive was my first steelbook and also my least favorite..
cheap sticker slapped onto the steelbook

Hunger Games HMV, to plain for my liking plus no inside artwork. Didn't like the film too.
