Yes i understand that, im wondering why in your opinion it is far better? Im interested to hear why
Ah I see.
Well, looking at all three steelbooks (2x UK and 1x Walmart) I like the use of a single image covering the whole of the front, and looking at the Walmart edition, that fact that it's a close up of Burgundy showing his moustache and part suit is a great image to show what the film is without having the need for a title. Much the same as Anchorman 2 UK version, which I love the design of also, except it has a title on the front and I'm a fan of steelbooks without a title on the front. That being said, however, it's a nice embossed title and border so it's a great cover too. Between the both, however, I much prefer the glossy single image Walmart version.
Here's where my problem lies... I've already got Anchorman UK edition and as much as I love the wood effect, I'm not a massive fan of the central image of Ron with a Clipart-looking banner and a chain that cuts off at each end as it proceeds around the back of the steelbook. I've mentioned these things before, and although it no doubt looks great to some, I personally think it looks a little tacky. Unfortunately, I took this at £9.99 before I even knew about the Walmart double.
Anchorman 2 UK is nice, really nice, and I'm happy to have that one because I thought it was great before I knew about the Walmart version, and the use of colour (again, the Burgundy suit for example) is spot on, as well as the gloss.
I would have preferred that both 1 and 2 match in some way, but that's down to different releases from different retailers I guess. ES steels I do like very much though.
But anyway, the Walmart edition imo is superior as it isn't as busy, it's a clean and crisp image that covers the entire front, and the back is split up in a nice way too, showing the other characters.
It's not embossed but I can live with that, and also it is virtually the same price as UK Anchorman 2, but for two films in one. It just scream 'classy' (no pun intended) in my opinion, but I reckon if the Walmart version was the first Anchorman film only, and the ES version was the second film as it is, then these would look amazing together!
