yuck. Not sure why this tripe has been given steelbook treatment tbh. Lock stock, 51st state or Snatch are more worthy of em tbh

Oh jeez...worst film in the history of film...

I'd love 51st State to get a blu-ray release never mind a steelbook

Bored too many Steelbooks now

Too many steelbooks now. I won't buy this one, no matter how limited it is.

legendarymatt92 · 07-16-2012, 10:05 PM

Why are they even bothering to release steelbooks of films that aren't that good anyway? I don't understand it. Surely, you'd release steelbooks of things that are worthy and the majority of people might want - if there's little demand, like for this one, then there's no point in it.

On the subject of steelbooks, I agree with the above comments - they're just becoming too commonplace from the big retailers now. Play.com, Amazon and HMV (but especially Play) are just releasing too many, and it's starting to become more annoying than anything.

When people refuse to buy the crap they release in steelbook form they should get the hint. The one thing i noticed is they're almost becoming like Amazon.de where they have loads of crap titles released alongside the good ones.

I'm not buying this tbh or at least for the price it will sell for originally and no more than about....£1

NARMAK · 07-17-2012, 07:16 PM

For those interested, the price will be circa £13.95 but RRP is listed as £19.99

Pass.

I for one like this film and imported it from amazon.uk about a year ago. If the cover art is decent, I would double dip.

That's just it though. Studios now realise when films perform terribly at the box office, they know that if they release a steelbook of the movie, they may be able to recover some of their losses.
There are always obsessive collectors about who will snap up as many steelbooks as possible, no matter how abysmal the movie is.

I respect everyone's film choices, and would never put them down for liking something that I don't, but how anyone expects someone to fork out nearly £20 on a steelbook for a film that isn't even new, exciting or good is beyond me. I just can't get over that price - it's nearly as expensive as the Prometheus 3D steelbook from HMV!

Nyle · 07-18-2012, 11:24 PM

I really like this film, watched it a few times. I might get the SteelBook if it looks good enough.

I'm pretty sure i could watch this movie and like it, but i would never in a million years have thought 'Oh, that's a really good movie that deserves a steelbook'. I think that's essentially my feeling on this and other steelbooks of questionable quality. Ok to watch, but a steelbook?

Like the guy above said, maybe it's the studio trying to get more money, because i highly doubt they made a loss
