- ROCKIN movie, but **double-sided** DVDs jam in my PC
This is regarding the Special Edition.
I have dozens of DVDs and they all play instantly on my PC except for the two that are double sided (Superman and Mallrats 10th Anniversary Edition). Eveery time I want to watch the movie I throw it in there and it goes click, click,click, and it won't stop going click, so what I have to do is take is back out, put it back in and try again, repeatedly. I took it out and was about to chuck it across my room, but I put in back in then, FFFFFFinally, after 30 minutes.

- Earth Or Bust ~ The Adventure Begins!
'Superman - The Movie' was released in '78 and became an instant hit with both comic book fans and just about every woman on the planet. Christopher Reeve was the perfect choice for the part of the handsome young man from the planet Krypton. Reeve was virtually unknown at the time but producer Alexander Salkind and director Richard Donner took a chance that his looks would overshadow any potential lack in acting ability. Boy did they make the right choice and yes he can act too!

Surrounded by a stellar cast and a big budget to boot this film defined the process of how to translate a comic book superhero into a highly successful film.

A true classic in the genre of superhero movies.

- Christopher Reeve will always be Superman
It was painful watching Christopher Reeve in the DVD extra section doing his interview after his riding accident and before he died.I would like to say the studio made the right choice in picking him to play The Man of Steel.The other part of the DVD extras was how the movie was made and the problems which occured.The part about the special effects and building the sets blew me away.Bringing in Mario Puzo to do the writing was a good idea.But John Williams,what can I say about his works.The opening theme music is a classic.If Mozart and the other music geniuses were alive today they won't be able to compete against John Williams who should be named the greatest music composer ever.To me the movie with the DVD extras should be in everyone's movie library.

- The Un Special edition
Was this released as a joke? Despite being called the special edition this is the cut one. Theres a lot of missing scenes. The deleted scenes section only includes 2 extra and I can think of at least 4 other missing scenes not included in this dvd.

I guess my definition of Special edition must be different to everyone else's.

Very disappointed with it.

- The way a comic-book movie should be made
This is still the best comic book movie. (Spiderman is #2 to me). The 1990's "Batman" movies to me were just awful. This tells us the Story of "Superman" from the begining (something that the Batman Movies just started) and we grow to care about Clark Kent and then we care about Superman even more. Now I hope that WB when they release the DELUXE BOX SET OF "14" DVD'S they will give us that 45 minutes of footage that was added to the Network TV Showings. IF you have never scene this movie then your in for a treat. THE Special effects still hold up. The story is timeless. Christopher Reeve should have won an oscar!
