#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 At best it's a guilty pleasure with some good acting by Hoffman and Hoskins.It's not an Spielberg classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trailer looked interesting, but a bit much like a Wes Anderson movie without the Anderson touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff 10 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 True - I hope the price justifies purchasing the whole set. I also have South Pacific on DVD, so I'll have to weigh the benefits vs the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 333 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Was at Wally World (Wal-Mart) last night and had been eye balling Batman Begins on Blu-Ray for a while since I had The Dark Knight but not that one. It was only $15 and my dad was kind enough to get it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I may end up buying the Nolan films as a trilogy box set anyway.

filmmusic 1,799 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Me too.Although I've never seen it I'd like the box to have "Never say never again" to complete the series but i read that it's not part of the official james Bond films.So, it doesn't include this unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,043 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 That's right, it's not part of the official series. It was made by a complete differerent production company and is not part of the canon of the main film series.It only exists because a writer from Thunderball managed to retain rights to make his own film adapatation after a decade long legal battle. He managed to lure Sean Connery to play the character again, even though he was now in his 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
