Re: Man Of Steel

What? I never saw any consistency with the Maximum Movie Mode. Just the ones mentioned along with Terminator Salvation on Warner titles. It definitely wasn't a common feature, and I doubt it's lack of it on the Superman set is due to the so called death of physical media. I'd anticipate it as more of a preemptive move for the inevitable double dip.

I just meant that it appears that less extras are show up on BR these days, at least from what I'm seeing with these major mainstream releases.

Re: Man Of Steel

Well at least release prices are dropping fast and low as well. I'd accept less special features if I still get excellent AQ and PQ at a reasonable price. Downloads don't offer that, as far as I'm concerned. The actual $ amount might be relatively low but I've not been remotely impressed by the video quality of downloadable media. And, as far as I know, lossless audio would be out of the question in such a scenario.

Watchmen and Sucker Punch both got director's cuts as well, and Man of Steel so far has not.

Re: Man Of Steel

My favorite cover is the 2-disc DVD version, but I'll probably be making my own design anyway.

Perhaps a double dip is in this movie's future?

Maybe. Maybe not. Only Snyder film not to get a DC was 300 and that Owl movie, I think. So I guess those 2 were released as his cut, I dunno.

Though 300 did later get that jam packed Digibook. It'd make sense in the financial to do another BD. Not sure how WB is lately though with their current franchises in the format. Seems like they're mostly one and done.

The film no matter what will be flawed. I'd blame the script. What's there that is flawed at times can be remedied if further fleshed out but some bits can't be fixed. It's a lot of little things...which is a big thing.

I do hope Snyder loses the color grading form that MoS had. It sucked the life out of everything when it got to neutral colors. Grays were horrendous and whatnot. WB better not do that shit to JL. They need color.

For one thing, they could make Perry White have a reason to be in the movie.

Re: Man Of Steel

has it been confirmed that Walmart will be getting a Steelbook?, because I was there yesterday and the pre-order holder wasn't for a steelbook. It was a metallic/magnetic type of card that u got that matched the picture posted before, no mention of steelbook.

just like it was first mentioned that Target would get a digi-book for Star Trek Into Darkness, and by just checking the link months ago I could tell it wasn't a digibook, but people kept mentioning Digi-book.

Wal-mart.com might be just using the regular Blu-ray/DVD combo pack picture as a placeholder or it might be the actual coverart. There's no indication that the picture on the pre-order card is the actual picture that's going to be used on the steelbook. We won't know until we get closer to the release date.

It's also confirmed over at bluray.com that WalMart will be getting the Steelbook and Target will be getting the DigiBook. The Steelbook is 2D only while the DigiBook will also include the 3D version.

The 2D version is also a Target digibook per the pic on the website listing.

Ah, you are right, looks like DigiBook is available in both 2D and 3D versions. So just the Steelbook is 2D only (at least for the time being)

I think its more the direction...extended action sequences, muddled flashbacks, that damned steadycam use throughout. I bet you another director could take the same script/story and piece together a more entertaining film.

Blu-ray.com lists a Target-exclusive 3D digibook but it doesn't look like it actually exists.

So if you want 3D you can either buy the regular 3D edition or the goofy deluxe 3D, neither of which is exclusive. Then the Target and Wal-Mart exclusives are 2D-only and have their own gimmicky packaging and exclusive extras. So if you want a complete 3D set w/ all extras you need to buy 3 copies.

I'm a sane person so I'm planning on buying the regular 3D edition only.
