I don't doubt your sincerity! For what it's worth, I like the formatting--the title on the clean white background is indeed clean, modern, and visually distinct--but find the (retouched) stills for each film visually unappealing.

Probably on 4k blu-ray if the technology is ever able to get off the ground.

Yes, the choices of stills (and their obvious plastic retouching) is weak, but the template of the covers works fine.

I would suggest that the white background be replaced with a one inspired by each movie's main title sequence, to give it more of an identity.

not til UHD; our best bet was this year for the 20th anniversary.

Yeah, just something with a little more oomph. Because the stills are the most distinctive elements on each cover, the success of the designs hinges on them, which is unfortunate given how bland most of them are. It doesn't serve the aesthetic sensibilities of the series well.

Ah, well. Catalog release cover art often leaves a lot to be desired.

Fox could have done a nice 4K scan for Goldeneye just like they did for "The Spy Who Loved Me".

I wonder what their excuse is.

[Agent Bond]

Wow--and I thought the last run of blu-ray covers was terrible. These new ones somehow manage to be blander, flatter, and less appealing. Yikes.

I agree. The DVD Ultimate Editions had the best covers IMO.

[bkfountain]

hahaha, what awful covers.

I only need 4 films to have the whole series anyways.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know where I can purchase the following current individual Bond films at a reasonable price? I'm sure eBay is the best option, but I was hoping to find them somewhere else for around $5-$8 each. I'm trying to purchase these remaining titles for my father in-laws collection. I was able to find quite a few Bond films for only $2-$3 at Fry's a while back, but still need these ones.

[Show spoiler]

The other option is I just wait it out until this next wave with Digital HD copies included is eventually reduced in price. I'd imagine Fox Connect will be a good source in the future.

Not sure why you think $5-8 is the "reasonable price." Anyway, that aside, the singles will likely drop before launch. Remember these are early pre-order prices still.

I guess $7-10 each would be more reasonable based on the prices I've seen for Bond films over the past few years. I don't think that's too unreasonable considering they are catalog titles and I've seen the entire Bond 50 box set drop down to $100 quite a few times and even $80 once or twice. If you were to pay $9 for each individual title, you'd be paying over $200 for the entire set of 23 films. That's a pretty decent difference when comparing the box set to a collection of individual releases.

[elecrofunk]

Will these include the two new special features (not the ninety minute doc. from the new box set)? Or is it just the steelbooks that have them?

best bet for that cheap is pawn shops or used book stores that carry movies. A few of those seem OOP, as this new line is releasing for Spectre and the holidays.

WTF.
