Find those steelbooks absolutely dreadful.

I mean look at Zavvi's Commando. That was a work of art. Couldn't they do the Rambo's like that.

I didn't say I liked them

Looks like a videogame cover

One of the few new Zavvi steels I'll pre-order and not wait for a price drop

I'm really disappointed it doesn't match the first three Zavvi steels. I was hoping this one would be an outline of his bow and it'd be blue.

I like them. They're very 80s, I think they suit the films.

Agreed, next to them Rambo is a Picasso. The first three are more like a load of Jackson Pollocks.

I can't claim to know too much about Pollock, but based on the trailer for the Ed Harris film isn't his art more kind of "throw 3 pints of red paint into the air so it lands randomly on a 30 square feet canvas, repeat with as many different colors as possible"? If that's the case these covers look remarkably good...

I don't find the first 3 covers good at all, but I'd rather have 4 matching bad covers than 3 bad ones and 1 good! (Damn OCD traits... )

It's actually a little different, but either way they both still look like they're for a i videogame to me, but especially so with the title treatment for this SteelBook.

I was trying to recall which game it reminded me of, and I finally found it:

I am guessing Sony and SC have different ideas of what artwork is.

More like Saul Bass or Olly Moss. Like I said, I think they're pretty good. That new one however, much like the last film, is pants.

Kind of iffy on this. Might just wait to see if it bins out.
