Yes sir! It says so right on the picture of the add.

I'm really hoping BB will surprise us, with a Captain America steelbook. I'm not holding my breath though, cause they already have an exclusive slip cover.

it's pretty bad...not even worth buying it... I would be embarrassed having it in my collection..because friends would said "you have no taste in movies" LOL

that's what they'd say if they find a Moulin Rouge in there...

I will be picking this up. This looks like a nice one. I keep them sealed, I purchase the steelbook and the non steelbook verison as well..BTW I dont think this is gonna sell like Fast Five did

Minimejer05 · 10-07-2011, 02:50 AM

I really like the steelbook art over the normal art, which is why I might cave in and get it. ONLY after the size is 100% confirmed though.

That Fast Five steelbook looked really weird in person.

I think it will sell pretty decently. Especially the steelbook. I bet those are sold out the first day at most stores.

enaej1 · 10-07-2011, 04:24 AM

Preordered....but also keeping HMV preorder. I kinda like the HMV simplistic cover design.

Waboman · 10-07-2011, 04:28 AM

Pretty cool having a domestic Steelbook release. I'll be canceling my HMV preorder now.

Why though? Besides it being a steelbook. The movie bombed and it one of my most hated movies of all time.

That made me laugh.

Don't you think that's a bit extreme? Of all time?

I have a breaking point with movies. It hit that point in the theater, where I'm not even tolerating it waiting for it to end, I actually was sitting in the theater brewing and hating it. I was with friends and couldn't leave.

The main character, the 'evil doctor' turns into a whiny, obnoxious, and completely uninteresting character, truthfully, the worst EVER to me.

The CGI was horrid, the 3D was bland and non-existent, and did I mention the main 'bad guy' was atrocious?

I'd rather be water-boarded than watch this. And I'm not kidding.

You must have been wearing the yellow ring that day.

[Show spoiler]

I agree it wasn't the best superhero movie. And I agree the bad guy was more annoying than an actual evil menace to society. But it's not the worse movie ever. That prestigious honor belongs to The Happening.

Yeah, I think that is a little extreme. I didn't love GREEN LANTERN, but I didn't hate it either. There are plenty of movies that deserve your hatred more than GL. Overall, it was rushed and the characters were not fleshed out enough as it was an action-driven movie with a very thin plot. But it was in no way the worst movie ever.

Sinestro was actually the strongest character in the whole film, so I totally disagree with you on that.

It was nowhere near THE DARK KNIGHT, but maybe you haven't watched enough movies to see how superhero films used to be. Far far worse than GL.

It will be a popular sell as there is a built-in comic fan base who will buy it regardless. Also, it is a summer action film so people will buy it for that. TRANSFORMERS 2 sold out in a day, and that was worse than GL (oops, I may be treading into another thread).

Side by side the best buy one looks taller and not as wide s the german one i am really thinking this is a G1 steelbook case.

It's the "EXTENDED CUT" that looks as if it can't be part of the insert that keeps puzzling me

The UK & CA versions could be identical if the UK ratings logos are removeable
This BB version would have to be a completely different print if the Ext.cut is printed on the Steel
This could mean that our BB GreenLantern Steel could have been printed here in the US, making it a G1 for sure
It's anyone's guess really... until we see them on the shelves

It could be a completely different G2 Steel too, I suppose, like our US Scarface w/ the "LIMITED EDITION" printed across the front
I don't think any other country's SteelBook has that on it...

What if the whole point of the waterboarding was to make you agree to watch Green Lantern again...that would suck for you.

Zero_Cool · 10-07-2011, 07:28 AM

I watched about the first 30 min of the movie. I was going to buy it when it was on sale for less than $15. Now that it is a US steel it is a must buy day 1 for me.

Scottie · 10-07-2011, 12:03 PM

Who cares if the movie sucked or not? It's a steelbook lol
