WB 100th 25Film Collection Vol 3 Fantasy, Action, Adventure (Blu-ray)

This is a lovingly crafted box set of some of WBs best in fantasy, action and adventure. While I get some folks have strong opinions about certain inclusions and exclusions but here I am looking at this set and I just can’t complain. It’s a delightful package that satisfies the physical media enthusiast while also very conveniently allowing 25 movies to be added and accessible to your online cloud library to watch whenever. WB has gone all out and it shows and I can’t compliment the classy packaging enough. Yes, to preserve a Blu ray for optimum longevity it’s ideal to store them in jewel cases as the special packaging grips the Blu rays too tightly and you need some patience to get these out without any scratches. A tiny demerit for the packaging due to this flaw in an otherwise delightful package. Keep it up WB and your fans will continue to support you. Just a suggestion here… run a poll amongst your fans to know better what they would like in your next set and you might win over some new fans too.

This set is advertised as celebrating 100 years of Warner Bros pictures. Instead it represents 100 years of Warner Bros purchases. The set itself contains about 50% Warner Bros and the rest is titles that Ted Turner bought in his purchasing the past output of Hollywood. Although it is a great competition of old Hollywood, it does not represent 100 years of Warner Bros pictures. I can easily think of100 titles from the Warner studio that would have been better suited to be included in a set. But it should be no surprise to anyone that Time Warner went the cheap route and did not. Other companies have remastered their output in 4k UHD to celebrate their past, but Time Warner decided to just reissue this package with some new remasteres and old blue ray releases. It is a nice set but not what it should been.

And the digital codes worked too :D. My only real complaint is it's difficult to remove the discs from their "holders". The "book" itself is excellent, however, they seem to have made the jackets a bit to tight to easily pull the discs out. Pulling each one out the first time requires tearing the cardboard a bit to make room - which is a shame.

While I had already seen a few of these movies years ago, I decided to purchase this box set primarily to view all those I had not seen (and some I never heard of), as well as revisit my memories of some of the older films. What I got was a mixed set of movies ranging from amazing (Joker) to one of the worst movies ever (Supergirl).To me, the quality of the movie starts with the story (screenwriter). If you have a good, believable story to tell, especially if it explores points of humanity and change over time, then it's likely that the movie will be good. If the movie relies on special effects and overly-caustic blasting and continuously beating soundtracks, then the movie will likely be painful to work through. Worst of all, if a movie is full of inconsistencies, implausibilities, and even stupidity, then the movie is horrible (I am reminded of how Supergirl with all of her powers could save only the scoop of a bulldozer instead of the entire "out of control" vehicle, or how an overly-dramatic witch had more powers than a fragile and naive Supergirl). While you will have your own favorites, here is how I ranked the 25 movies in this boxed set:Poor: SupergirlVery Bad: The Neverending Story, Constantine, The Suicide SquadBad: Twister, 300, Man of Steel, AquamanFair: Superman, Pan's Labyrinth, Justice League, Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley QuinnGood: The Dark Knight, Mad Max: Fury Road, Wonder Woman, Black AdamVery Good: Lethal Weapon, Batman, Ocean's Eleven, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Shazam!Excellent: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, V for Vendetta, Joker

I was so excited to get the volume of WB movies with digital codes. even though I own a lot of these movies - on a great sale with digital code. call me happy. Nothing stating anything about digital code expiration date. (I purchased volumes 1 -3 )I love this movies. I was so excited (not sure why i got that way) when the boxes arrived.Now call me angry/sad - I ordered on July sale, got them and noticed that on the sets all of them have notice that the digital code expired in June 2024. there is nothing on the picture showing this. False advertisingI have had this happen to me quite enough times where I opened box and code was expired. amazon states not their issue (even though they state digital code to boost sales) and WB essentially has said - to bad so sad; they don't do anything if the code sheet states it expired (reminds me of used cars buyer beware, even though the movies are brand new).If you don't mind spending all the money on having a box set of these movies without an valid digital code I recommend getting them however if you are like me and bought these volumes for the digital codes don't bother. I am sending them all back.

thanks

This is a very good collection to have if you don't have majority of titles already included in this set which any movie lover/physical media collector will already have in some format. Still its great value even if you own 50% of the movies and packing is much better then most collections.But since discs are in cardboard's it has the same problem of any other cardboard packing sets. Disc's are so tightly packed that you will have to pull really hard to get the discs out. I was legit afraid that the disc might break while pulling out Aquaman disc and i had to use both my hands to pull the disc real hard. You will have to put your fingerprints on discs everytime you pull one out, there's no getting around to that.
