It just looks soooooo cheap. Reminds me of those Evil Dead 2 Steelbooks that Zavvi are still trying to flog.
Reminds me of quite a lot of steelbooks this year. 'The Year of the truly terrible finish'.
Another lazy matte finish. At least it's a better finish than point break. Man of steel had a good matte finish, this seems somewhere I between the two. As someone said before, looks like an inkjet, but we've had that all year around.
looks as poor as we all expected.
im curious to see the film though, so will grab it in January when it drops of £6.99 or thereabouts. £9.99 is my top limit.

Admittedly this year has been pretty poor for some releases. But at the same time, we've had some great steel's. But I do agree, this is not one of them.
Luckily mine arrived just fine this morning, with only a tiny rip in the plastic on the front, but no damage.
I actually rather like what they were attempting to do with the front cover art, which, if everyone's forgotten, is how pictures were compiled in newspapers before digital composition - dot by dot.
If only it had been gloss, and the interior had been the slighest bit imaginative - okay, it carries over from the back art, but if they wanted a form of continuity then it should be dotted as it comes to the front again - but doesn't.
Bit disappointed overall.

I love the back. The face could have been better with an actual tinted photo. The worst thing is the font, because of the low contrast. I think matt is fine, it's just there isn't enough colour used on the font or face. It looks quite low res for a front cover. But I still adore this steelbook. I'd just hate to see it drop so soon having just paid a premium price for it, but it looks like that is inevitable. Still a hundred times better than Machete Kills! And the back is in the vein of Criterion or MoC imo!
If you don't like the front, turn it over. Catch you on the flipside mothersteelers!

I'm please enough with it and really like the back and inside art. The front does suffer from the cheap finish but looks fine. The spine would be great except for the shockingly faint text. The J card part on the front looks very naff up close being just plain black. Overall it's not what it could have been but as I really wanted to see the film I'll live.
Would seem you picked me up wrong - I said after Drive. I happen to love that steelbook. The Place Beyond the Pines and now Only God Forgives strike me as quite awful in comparison.
Not even a gloss finish could've saved this poor design. Such a neon, vivid, colorful film with a lot of gorgeous posters available, and they chose this black, detail-lacking artwork.
I don't know what you're all crying about. Mine just arrived and I think it looks great. The gloss and emboss brigade are starting to do my tits in.
Mine arrived today. I had intended to cancel it but didn't catch it in time. Fortunately, it's got a scratch on the cover, so it's going back...
Unboxing for 2 Guns & others:

Am I the only one who completely hate those fanmade arwork? (this one & Machete Kills) I think they're horrible!
