I have seen Superman in all of its wonderful incarnations going back to the 1950's television series starring George Reeves, who for most of us back then, was the man of steel, until the year 1978. I was in high school then, but could not wait to see Superman transformed onto the "Big Screen." I later toured Universal Studios to see how they made Superman fly - an amazing effect back then using a flat table, a wind machine and some carefully and strategic flying footage along with blue screen effect. A great film to see again and again...for which to date, I have seen at least a dozen times but never tire of seeing Christopher Reeves as the great man of steel, representing all that's good in man and mankind alike.

I could not see the movie. I have an HD TV and I was told by someone in a store that the movie was meant for the Box instead. I wish amazon would have told me that before purchasing it.

Superman: The Movie is still the best of all of them. Old or new. The incorporation of nostalgia is thick as many tag lines from yesteryear are used. I saw this movie in the theater in 1978 and the opening credits and accompanying sound just blew me away. Since then, I have always been disappointed in the compressed sound that DVD maintains. When I bought this on BD... Holy Moley! Yep, you guessed it. It was back! BD just made it's point with shaking walls that it can re-produce sound like non other. Very dynamic! PQ is above average with some grain in the opening scenes on the planet Krypton, but that ends once back on Earth. Colors are magnificent and Superman's suit is a sight to behold. Check out those cool red boots! There are a few added scenes that I have never seen before and they really helped to augment the story a bit. Super Genius Lex Luthor adds a touch of Dr. Evil as he surrounds himself with Fricken Idiots and a lot of comedy in these scenarios. This movie has it all. Its funny, serious, nostalgic and above all, a wonderful adventure!

Without any doubt Superman The Movie is the best superhero movie of all time(sorry Spider-Man).It exceeds in everything: great acting, direction, cinematography, plot. It has everything you can ask for a movie, action , comedy, romance, adventure.
All in all, STM went to be one of the most popular films of the 70's, and of all time. Alot of people like to critisize the fact that the SFX has not hold well over the years, and compare it to recent blocbusters like Spider-Man 3 (2-Disc Special Edition) and X-Men (Widescreen Edition). Hello? This was 1977-1978. 30 years already has passed, and people are still talking how this movie has influenced today's movies.In my opinion the film has aged well, and remains a true classic to enjoy over and over again for years to come.I highly recommend this DVD.

As yet I have been unable to view this Film as it's not for UK but only for the USA. I am disapointed that this was not pointed out to me before I purchased them.
