Superman 5 Film Collection (DVD)

Really great old movies.

The Superman 5 Film Collection is a nice collection of five classic superhero films at a good value. It makes a great gift for fans. I would purchase this set again; five stars.

I'm not going to review the individual films, if you're considering this set than you must already be interested in owning these films. The set itself is perfectly fine for what it is- an almost bare bones, affordable (I bought it at about $10) DVD collection of these five Superman films. One small issue is, at least in my set, the first disc, the one with the original movie (and YES mine IS indeed THE DONNER CUT) the disc is labeled as "Disc 2" however no other disc is numerically labeled. There is no disc 1, disc 3, etc... So I surmise that this disc came from some other set in which the original cut of Superman was one disc 1 and this, the Donner cut, was on disc 2. It throws the uniformity of the set off a bit but is a mild issue at this price point. As for it being the Donner cut. I wish it wasn't. I know I said I wasn't going to review the films themselves but...: Other than taking out the awesome scene where --- SPOILERS? --- --- the awesome scene where Clark reveals that he is Superman to Lois via her shooting him point blank, other than that change, I'm sure I'd much prefer the original, the what is it, the Lester cut?, than the Donner cut... Sure we'd miss the Brando bits right? but I think from what I heard in the director's commentary the ending of the Lester cut sounds much better with the "magical kiss" and I'm sure it's what I remember as a child. Anyway... All discs but the fifth one "Superman V" featured some sort of bonus feature. The director's commentary on the original film features Richard Donner and his sidekick and it's pretty nice. Like I say, decent and affordable collection of these five films. Cheers!

All played well

Very good deal for the set of Superman movies.

Liked the original movie and wanted the series.

Great addition to my Superman collection!

If I could give it ten starts I would. I hubby is bed bond and enjoy these movies.

クリストファー・リーヴさんが好きなので購入しました。スーパーマン４作と「リターンズ」がセットになったお得なセットです。買って良かったです。

En esta opinión hago referencia a la versión italiana de 8 blu-rays. Compré esta edición confiando en las palabras de Carlos Quinteiro, y sin duda tiene toda la razón. La edición está totalmente en castellano, las películas tienen tanto audio español como subtitulos, los extras tienen sus correspondientes subtitulos, hasta incluso tiene grabado el texto de "Para todos los públicos" y "Expedido tal y tal" en cada disco, en perfecto castellano. Lo único que viene en italiano es la descripción de lo que trae cada disco, pero por fuera no se notará que es una versión no española.

Nach dem Motteo "Das Original ist und bleibt am besten" muss ich sagen, dass die Filmreihe Superman 1-4 mit Christopher Reeve das beste von allen bisherigen Superman-Realverfilmungen ist. Am besten hat mir da immer der 2. Teil gefallen, wo Superman gleich 3 ebenbürtige Gegner auf einmal hat. Die letzten 2 Filme haben mir auch gut gefallen und die Kritik von Journalisten find ich unangebracht. Es soll sich jeder eine eigene Meinung bilden und nicht danach richten, was andere schreiben. Auch haben die 80er-Jahre ihren Reiz, wo noch alle mit mechanischen Schreibmaschinen arbeiten. Weiters geht die schlechte Rechtschreibung von Luis Lane in den späteren Versionen ziemlich unter. Auch Gene Hackman als Bösewicht Lex Luther war gut dargestellt, ebenso Robert Vaughn im 3. Teil als zwielichtiger Industrieller. Es ist gut und spannend inszeniert, die Musik passt gut dazu und so soll es sein. Bei den späteren Versionen gefällt mir noch die Smallville-Serie recht gut und die "Man of Steel-Trilogie". Die anderen Versionen find ich zwischen mittelmäßig (Die Abenteuer von Luis und Clark - Serie der 90er-4 Staffeln) und schlecht (Serie Superman und Luis). Der letzte Kinofilm hat mir auch nicht so schlecht gefallen, aber wie gesagt: Das Original....

Una raccolta che ogni appassionato della serie non può non possedere. La qualità video è buona ma altalenante (dipende dalla versione del film), ma comunque mediamente di alta qualità, con la prima pellicola, restaurata, che guida in testa. Ottimo anche l'audio originale rimasterizzato in 5.1 del primo film (quello in italiano è stato rimasterizzato solo per la versione estesa). Per i nostalgici, o i meno anglofoni, segnalo la presenza dell'audio originale in italiano (mono per la versione cinematografica del primo e del secondo, stereo per III e IV), fortunatamente, quindi, non ridoppiato Ci sono, poi, un mare di extra in cui perdersi. Unica nota negativa a margine: sui dischi inspiegabilmente (e stupidamente) non c'è alcuna indicazione che li identifichi (numero disco o titolo) per cui si deve usare la foto presente sul disco, o la lunghezza in minuti del contenuto (invece indicata) per provare a capire di che film si tratti.E siccome sono tutte foto simili (con Christopher Reeve in varie pose) è praticamente impossibile andare a colpo sicuro.

Excelente tetralogía. Contiene cinco películas, pero las mejores son las primeras cuatro, dónde actúa Christopher Reeve como el primer Superman. El banda sonora es épica, nada menos que el gran señor John Williams (Jurassic Park, E.T. El Extraterrestre). Llegó en perfectas condiciones, cerrada y sin daños; entrega antes de lo previsto. Audios y subtítulos de las cinco películas en inglés, francés y español. ¡Bravo, Amazon México!
