Ehhhhhh best news ever?!?!?!??!!??!!?!?!?

THIS. HAS. TO. STOP!!!!

Death of steelbooks.

 

[stashbr]

I only have one thing to say ... fu**ing awesome ! Need one.

 

[Steelknight47]

I'm not too excited about the steelbook either.
The artwork is alright, but could have been done better.
Escpecially from a film with so many iconic scenes.

I'll probably buy the steel if the disc is uncut, and has an ultra gloss finish.
If it's matte, it'll be another John Rambo, which is an easy pass.
Though, if the door is debossed with the word "RedRum" raised I'm going to
lose it. Imagine that with a glossy finish. NO BORDERS EITHER!

The front cover on this is terrible, zavvi shouldn't rush these out.

That's why I like blufans and kimicidvd they take the time to get it right

They should have used the pic of jack looking through the door for the front and with uncut disc

I will definitely pass on this one and wait for a better release,too bad to cause
This is one of my fav movies

 

[Mojo]

Somehow think they missed a trick not having the iconic image:

But then again, it might be a tad generic

edit: Just realised this image was posted earlier by Zesty :O. Still think they should use this image!

 

[justboy]

Overall I'm I'm disappointed with the proposed steelbook. Front art looks a bit "cartoony" and there is stronger images that could have been used for the back and inside. Coupled with an expected bare bones release, this looks like to be a wasted opportunity.

 

[Kashby]

Gonna give this one a miss I think, not a fan of the artwork, my prediction on the finish -Matte black and spot gloss on the door and title.

 

[Man of Steel]

Very poor effort here Warner Bros!

SHAME ON YOU!!! was this the best you could come up with?

This is what I wanted to see on the front....

 

[Manny10210]

Can't believe they've messed this one up! 100% miss for me, truly awful front and inside, and the back isn't the best picture of Jack really is it? Terrible!!! Could have been amazing such a missed opportunity

 

[ChrisIW]

Yeah I agree with all the negative comments I'm afraid. They're gonna have to do much much better with the artwork on some of these releases. I could spend 10 minutes in photoshop and come up with something better than this cr@p.

A film of this calibre deserves better.

Completely agree! It deserves so much better, gutted

 

[BluSteel2012]

Tired of black matt Steelbooks aswell. How hard is it to produce a high gloss Steelbook once in a while?

 

[TobinFrost]

You cannot have everything in life...

 

[blu-steel]

Awesome!!! I love the inside art and back artwork. This movie scares the crap outta me if I am alone in the dark.

 

[shejon01]

I've still never seen this, so will probably pick it up. My names Jonny so i get the catchphrase shouted daily at me while at work. Joy.

 

[hiphopnrap]

That is worth a cheeky punt..if I do say so myself
Artwork is very different and I like that
Inside is a classic...
Nice to see its only £14.99

 

[Andy CYP]

Urgh thats bad. What a missed opportunity. The door looks like it belongs in a Pixar film. Gutted as i really wanted to buy this.

 

[TakingYoSteelz]

This one screams budget release! Ick.
