Of course no one can argue that the movie itself is wonderful. As far as the Blue-ray transfer goes, I say don't waste your money. The colors are brighter, and some scenes seem to be clearer, but overall, I really don't see much difference in video quality compared to regular dvd. This seems to be the case with some Blue-ray movies. I recently watched "The Fantastic Four, Rise of The Silver Surfer" and that movie looked outstanding in Blue-ray, but others such as this one are just not worth it.
Most movies that I've watched on Blue-ray look excellent with a definite difference in video quality from regular dvd, but this one is not one of them.

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!
