The Avengers 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman April 11, 2024

This Mondo X SteelBook release of The Avengers 4K done in partnership with Wal-mart is once again, as with any number of other recent SteelBook releases done in tandem with the giant retailer, a repetition of specialty SteelBook packaging of this film to have been released. A Best Buy exclusive looks like it was offered day and date with the standard packaging wide release. Another SteelBook in our database doesn't have any online presence that I could find as a standalone release (it looks like it was part of a four film collection).


Both of the links above will point to Martin Liebman's reviews of both the wide 4K release and the specialty SteelBook packaging previously available from Best Buy.

The Avengers 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  4.5 of 5

On disc supplements are detailed in the above linked reviews. This SteelBook offers a distinctly different design aesthetic than the old Best Buy SteelBook, and without posting "spoilers", fans may be surprised to see who's featured and at what relative size on the front panel. Kind of interestingly, while the Best Buy SteelBook probably offered a more traditional "poster art" character gallery, it also was nicely suffused with blues, while this new SteelBook tamps down the palette quite a bit, offering a predominance of kind of slate gray hues. In that regard, the back panel may actually offer a bit more pop, though the red on display itself has a kind of gray undertone. I've shown the mylar O-ring next to the SteelBook in the second photo, and then have offered looks at the O-ring on the SteelBook in the third and fourth photos. This particular O-ring frankly adds relatively little to the mix (in case it can't quite be made out, the only element on the back side is a silver "fingerprint" shaped disc). In a nice departure from a kind "meh" norm, the interior panels have a fun depiction of Thor and The Hulk. Discs also carry the Mondo X branding along with artwork. A digital copy is also included.


The Avengers 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  4.5 of 5

Just doing some cursory "comparison shopping" online revealed some pretty hugely disparate prices being asked for the older Best Buy SteelBook, which may make this newer offering from Wal-mart a more wallet friendly option. The Mondo X packaging is very handsome, if maybe a little surprising in terms of decisions about which characters to feature the most prominently. Recommended.
