Okay, so here's the deal. I've been a huge Smallville fan since the start of the show. I was never THAT big into Superman before the show, but I still thought he was pretty cool. Over the past 8 years that Smallville's been on, my love for the character has continuously grown. When I stumbled upon this set on Amazon, I absolutely knew I had to have it. With a price tag of $76.99 spanning over the entire movie saga, I was in awe. Considering I have a 10 month old daughter, the price tag was a bit too high for my range currently, so I looked through the used and new sales and found this for $25, in perfect condition.
Now, when I had already purchased this, I obviously overlooked the fact that this was a 14 disc set. I thought the set included just the special editions of all 5 movies. I had no idea that both versions of Superman I and II were included. I also didn't know there was a comic book included as well. No one could ask for a better deal.
I must also add that I've never seen any of the old Superman movies, thus why I'm not reviewing each movie, as most people do in their reviews. I've only seen Superman returns, so this is seriously a huge deal to me. As big of a Superman fan as I've become, lately, I know I will absolutely love the old films.
If you are even the slightest fan of Superman, I highly recommend this set to anyone. If you can't afford the $76.99 price tag, always check out the used and new section, although, this set is definitely worth the Amazon price listed, considering you're getting 7 movies in one very nice looking metal tin. Even the slip case inside the tin has one of those "animated" pictures of Superman flying upwards, crashing through his own logo. This is an very well put together set and an excellent purchase, to say the least. The only thing that would make this set better is if it were as indestructible as the Man of Steel, himself. For Truth, Justice and the American Way!

Seen these movies when they were first released.Except Superman Returns.Good to see Christipher Reeves before the accident.Very entertaining,special affects good for the times then.Didn't realise the politics around the original Director of the Superman films.

This is a great set of DVD's,if you're a Superman fan(like me)then it's well worth it!!! Just wish that Warner Bros. would have released a Blu Ray edition as well,they only released Superman The Movie(extended Ver.)and Superman II The Richard Donner cut on Blu so far!!! As it is,this DVD set it gets my highest recommendation(the tin collector's case is pretty fragile though),a must for the Superman fan!!! Now just bring on the Blu Ray set!!! A+

The Item itself i will give 5 stars, if you are a Superman fun, then this is a must! you cant miss it.
However i am so disappointed on how my item was handled and sent. I've been an Amazon customer for over 5 years, every time i bought any disc, book or delicate item they will make sure it will not get broken, damaged or dented cause they would use enough bubble rapping for protection, well this time they would not even care putting any thing, they simple put the metal box on a regular box and shipped it like that, so what do you think happened? that's right the box came dented, disc came out of its place and they were all disorganized, so i decided not to place a complain, but when i started watching all the DVD the second would get frozen and stop playing that is when i decided to write them and ask for a replacement, i explained how my item was handle, so guess what? they send another one and once again they sent it so carelessly on a regular bubble bag as if it's give it any protection, the metal box came all dented, worst than the first time! So like i said to the product it self i give 5 stats, the handling 1/4 of a star...
