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.

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.

Re: Man Of Steel
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.

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.

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.

Re: Man Of Steel
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.

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.
