- BUYER BEWARE
I GIVE A 1 STAR TO THE DVD'S NOT THE MOVIES. JUST TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT A NEW COLLECTOR'S BOX SET COMING OUT SOON. READ BELOW.
Yes... looks like it's true. We've known for a while now that Warner Home Video was working on new DVD special editions of the Superman films to tie in with the release of Bryan Singer's Superman Returns later this year (in theaters 6/30), but now we have the first actual confirmation... from Ilya Salkind, who co-produced the first three Superman films! Salkind has acknowledged that he's working with Warner on the new DVDs, and that all of the films in the series are being restored and given deluxe new special edition treatment, a-la last year's Batman Anthology collection. By far the best news in all this, is that it seems that Warner is FINALLY allowing Richard Donner to create his original director's cut of Superman II! How damn cool is that?! As many of you know, Donner directed Superman: The Movie and most of Superman II back to back, but was eventually fired from the sequel. Director Richard Lester was hired to replace him, and it's Lester's cut of the film that we've seen all these years. What's cool is that Lester's theatrical cut of the film is being given special edition treatment as well, so you'll be able to fully explore BOTH versions of Superman II on DVD this summer. Lester MAY even do an interview for the DVD - something he's been reluctant to do over the years given the controversy. This information comes from Salkind via The Superman Homepage fan site, which expects to publish a full interview with Salkind in the coming weeks. Very cool news indeed (though keep in mind that until Warner announces this set, it's all still unofficial). Thanks to Bits reader Matt K. for the heads-up on this.

- Don't buy it!
Just a heads up for any prospective buyers out there -- a brand-new DVD set with restored versions of the five films (Superman I - IV and Supergirl)will be released in coordination with the theatrical debut of the new Bryan Singer "Superman" movie this summer.

I always hate it when I buy a movie and it comes out on Special Edition a few months later, so I do what I can to help out others.

- Christopher Reeves was the best Superman
Christopher Reeves is the best superman ever. He stars in all four of the Superman Movies and does a great job in all of them. Superman the Movie is probly my favorite of the four because it is how he started out and was a great suprise to me. Then Superman 2 was my next favorite because it was made like the first Superman movie. Superman 3 is my next favorite because it has Robert Pryor in it the bad thing about the movie it did not have Lex Luthor in it. Superman 4 was my least favorite but it was still fantastic. I Can't till Superman Returns comes to theatres but I am sure it won't be as good as the originals.

- I Think I'll wait for a better collection
I am not going to buy this DVD collection because I know that when the NEW Superman movie comes out, Warner Bros. will be releasing a new and better DVD collection....just like the new Batman DVD collection......I am sure of it coz, it'll be a good marketing boost.
