Editorial Review:

Product Description:
A box-office smash an Academy Award winner* and a fan favorite since it first flew into theatres in December 1978 Superman: The Movie assembles a cast and creative contingent as only a big movie can. At its heart (just as in three sequels) is Christopher Reeve's intelligent affectionate portrayal of a most human Man of Steel. Watching Superman again isn't just like being a kid again. It's better. The movie's legacy soared even higher when director Richard Donner revisited this beloved adventure 22 years later and integrated eight minutes into the film. Enjoy more footage of the Krypton Council a glimpse of stars of prior Superman incarnations more of Jor-El underscoring his son's purpose on Earth andan extended sequence inside Lex Luthor's gauntlet of doom. Reeve Marlon Brando (Jor-El) Gene Hackman (Luthor) and Margot Kidder (Lois Lane) give indelible performances that fuel the film's aura of legend. Looks like a swell night for flying.

Rating: - Buy the Original 2000 DVD Version
I am a huge fan of Superman - The Movie. But I must admit, this DVD is a huge rip- off.

If you don't care about having the Original Theatrical Version (I don't), and one or two new featurettes (both of which re-iterate material from the 2000 DVD Version), then this is a rip- off (especially at $29.99).

The cartoons are good to have, but you can buy them much cheaper elsewhere if you're really interested in them.

Compare $14.99 for the original version to $29.99 ... Read More

Rating: - Where it all began for GOOD Comic Book Movies
Here, ladies and gentlemen, is the classic that helped inspire director Christopher Nolan to create the gem that is Batman Begins (2005). This film is so inspirational and legendary, that director Bryan Singer couldn't even come up with a good way to reinvent everyone's favorite superhero for a new generation, without sticking to similar images and themes from this film. Sure, there was modern technology and what-not in his film, but Richard Donner's Superman (1978) is so well-known and well-made that ... Read More

Rating: - Without This, I would have never believed a man could fly.
Superman - the movie is the best superman movie. I am a kid and I read Superman and Action Comics and Superman is my favorite superhero. I never have seen the superman movies in theaters because i was never born then, so this is definitely the best for me. This DVD comes with the orginal theater release of the movie and the 2000 release of the movie with 10 more minutes of footage. They are both digitally remastered so his costume isn't green (yes i have seen it on a 20 year old tape). The extra two discs ... Read More

Rating: - Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I've been waiting for this ever since the first VHS release of this movie! Why? IT INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL THEATRICAL RELEASE. No longer do I have to suffer through the "bonus footage" re-added for the network TV premiere and every previous consumer media release, which only serve to validate my belief that there is a reason that films have editors.

I couldn't sell my old versions fast enough.

If you like the added footage, it's got that version too. Very nice packaging job as well. ... Read More
