Product Description
-------------------
For the Superman completist, a bumper collection of all five
films in the Superman saga. Superman: The Movie sees the birth of
a legend as we are introduced to the titular superhero and his
Kryptonian origins. Also included is the expanded edition, which
features an additional eight minutes of screen time. This is
followed by Superman II, in which our boy in blue must do battle
with three escaped super criminals bent on destroying the earth.
Presented here in both its theatrical and director's cut
versions, the latter is expanded by an alternate beginning and
ending, as well as 15 minutes of restored footage of Marlon
Brando as Jor-El. In the third instalment in the franchise,
Superman III, Superman learns of his Achilles heel when he is
exposed to kryptonite. The penultimate Superman IV - The Quest
for Peace sees the Man of Steel take on Nuclear Man, culminating
in an explosive showdown of epic proportions. When the Super One
returns to Earth in Superman Returns, he discovers that the woman
he loves, Lois Lane, has moved on with her life, and must figure
out how to protect a world that has learned to survive without
him.

Now this is just the kind of set that the dedicated Blu-ray
collector doesn’t want to be without. The Complete Superman
Collection brings to Blu-ray for the first time a definitive
collection of the man in the blue tights’ cinematic adventures.
We’ve previously had Superman, Superman II: The Richard Donner
Cut and Superman Returns on HD disc. But we’ve never had Superman
III, the theatrical cut of Superman, Superman IV: The Quest For
Peace and the original release of Superman II. All of that has
been rectified here.
But there’s far more to the collection than just filling in
blanks. For this is an exhaustive set for the Superman fan, with
a packed bonus disc going behind the scenes of the story of the
cinematic franchise.
The gold here, though, is in seeing such a well-loved cinematic
saga given some proper high definition love. Even appreciating
that Superman III and Superman IV: The Quest For Peace are few
people’s of ideas of classics, even they are given a quality
makeover. And having the assorted cuts of the first two films in
one place is very welcome indeed.
It’s a fascinating collection of films, that goes through some
very pronounced highs and lows. But, with terrific HD upgrade
work, The Complete Superman Collection is an essential Blu-ray
boxset, warts and all. --Jon Foster
