The Iron Giant (Blu-ray SteelBook) (Zavvi Exclusive) [UK]
- Thread starter snooloui
- Start date
Brad Bird is a solid director. It's worth checking out.
Trailer almost made me well up haha. I have a feeling it's a film that tugs at the strings?
If you have heartstrings... they shall be tugged.
I have no soul, and normally do not have patience for American Animation....
... But this is a very good movie.
Only disappointment with this release is terrible title embossing on my copy...
Arrived this morning. Has a great retro look. Really pleased. And it's a massively underrated movie.
Ouch! Mine isn't that bad, but it has got a small dent on the front and one of the plastic clips inside has snapped off. I could hear it rattling about, so opened it up to have a look...
Yikes! One of the worst examples of misalignment I’ve seen. Hope you get it sorted!
Gotta say in hand this is even better than the pics show, not a super bright image but none of the previously used art for the film ever has been especially. The finish is excellent and the emboss (if you get an aligned one!) is nicely done - loose disc in mine but it's getting opened anyways so no worries 
Just put an order in for this one.
That's 'Baby Driver', 'Donnie Darko', 'Iron Giant' and 'Spiderman Homecoming' in less than a week.
And I still need to pick up 'Your Name', that I sadly had to cancel due to the influx of great titles in such a short space of time.

Been offered the usual partial refund - 20% this time. Might accept it as the dent is barely visible, and the broken plastic clip again isn't really noticeable and the steelbook itself still snaps shut fine even with a part of the retaining clip broken.
Hadn't heard about the embossed glossy title which adds value to an already classy-looking steelbook . . . and that inside artwork looks stunning.
Exterior looks really 'clean' with the text relegated to the interior instead of as customary on the back .
No studio or Blu-ray logos on the spine - unlike on the *mock-up - most unusual with less than a Harry-handful like that here in the UK

I can just about live with "A Brad Bird Film" and "SIGNATURE EDITION" print on the front

Wonderful Steelbook and an even better film. I had forgotten just how magical this movie is.

Got this today and it looks high quality through the seal already. Gonna open it tomorrow AND watch it directly as I never get to it 
even though I know about this movie long time.
Btw my embossing is on right place fortunately

THE IRON GIANT UK alongside the package from Japan which includes a slipcase:-
(As can be seen, same image framed in black looks the biz only marred by that ugly "Blu-ray Disc" logo on the front. Was that really necessary after all these years of Blu-rays especially when it's already on the spine!?)

Spine etc.

Really like this steel. Decent finish, spot gloss and bossing
