If you are looking for the appeal of owning the box set of Superman, then please go to a store to buy it. The box I got came all beat up even though the packing for the shipping was in perfect condition. So now my silver box has wrinkles and crush marks on the corners. If I had bought this in the store I would have been able to pick a box without any scratches or crush areas. That's my only regret.

Wow. This series starts out great. Superman: The Movie. I remember watching this as a kid and just being floored. Superman brought to life, right out of the comics page. And the best part is this movie really works! And not just for kids!
As presented on this DVD, Superman: The Movie includes 8 minutes of footage that was cut from the original film to present a flick that is even better than the original!
In terms of quality all I can say is STUNNING! The film underwent restoration that has made it simply beautiful. The audio is equally great with great fidelity and just wonderful 5.1 surround.
If that isn't enough, the DVD also includes commentary from director Richard Donner which is extremely informative and worthwhile. There is also an isolated music track so you can listen to John Williams beautiful score. Next is Superman: The Legacy, 11 pages of text discussing the superhero. Wait, there's more. Cast & crew info and an index of the additional scenes restored to the film where you can view the new material outside of the film itself. Then there's a list of awards the movie received and finally the theatrical trailer.
Oh, but that was only side 1. Flip the disc over and you'll find even more! There's tons of great documentary material including Taking Flight: The Development of Superman, Making Superman: Film the Legend & The Magic Behind the Cape. Then there's a bunch of fun screen tests, two more deleted scenes, additional music cues, an interesting teaser trailer & a TV spot.
Like I said, Wow.
I can go on, but if you are a completist, there's no reason not to have this set. Obviously the sequels don't hold up as well but the set is well worth it.

This review is not about the movies, it's about the Boxed set, if you want to read my reviews on each movie, look for it each movie's information. The idea to release all 4 movies in a boxed set is great, although quite expensive.
This it to warn all of you possible buyers, we all know what the Superman Feature Film movies are about, but I found out this boxed set has no extra disc, just the four DVDs, one of each movie, you can expect that, for the very same price at least.
I've been looking at every DVDs details, and comparing with the ones in the boxed set: I found no difference! Even the Superman I disc, is the Special Edition.
I dont know how the actual box of the boxed set is alike, besides from the pictures from this website; please be aware, IF YOU PURCHASE EACH DVD SEPARATELY YOU WILL SAVE OVER [X]. You will have the very same DVDs, but not the box, will that box be [X] worth? I dont think so. I consider myself a Superman fan, but I wont spend [X] in a nice white box, I can buy another DVD for that!
Also, I encourage you, the owners of the boxed set, if I am mistaken please let me know, I like my information as accuate as it can be.

This is one of my prized posessions of my DVD collection. Christopher Reeve is the most believable Superman I have ever seen. Next to Tom Welling as Clark on Smallville. Point: Buy this collection, you will not be disappointed. Only the last three movies in the collecting fall short when it comes to picture/sound/extras. I don't see what all the fuss is about with the new sound effects. They are awesome! Bottom line: buy this collection!!!!!
