At last, Superman is presented the blueprint it was meant to be! The master print for the 1978 classic had deteriorated so badly that the film, particularly the white-on-white Krypton opening scenes, was almost unwatchable. (I had even gone so far as to write a critique on Amazon.com demanding a ‘Director’s Cut’ DVD edition, digitally transferred and remastered, be made!)
Somebody was listening! While this isn’t a ‘Director’s Cut’ (Donner has said that the version that premiered in 1978 was the version he preferred), the movie has been expanded, to include a couple of brief scenes with Brando, and the famed Superman Gauntlet sequence at Luthor’s underground lair (the remaining unused sequences can be seen in the ‘Deleted Scenes’ Chapter, on Side 2) .
Technically, the DVD is fabulous; the Krypton sequences are now tidy and spirited, a couple of shots where, previously, color balancing problems had turned Superman’s costume green have been corrected, and, best of all, the soundtrack has been digitally remastered and sounds even better than it did in 1978!

Three improbable documentaries are included on Side 2 about the making of the film, and how the flying effects were achieved. This was an incredibly expensive and difficult film to compose (so considerable so that Donner, after ‘Superman’ was released to rave reviews, was fired, and replaced by Richard Lester, for ‘Superman 2′), and through interviews with Donner, Christopher Reeve (who is honored for his work in the film, and his courage since his crippling accident), Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, and several of the creative team, you can devour what a novel and astonishing film this is!
Two other ‘pluses’; a full-length audio commentary track with Richard Donner, and a ‘music only’ option, where you can appreciate one of composer John Williams’ greatest scores!
This Special Edition DVD should be an principal piece of any film lover’s collection!
This is a tough one to review. For a film made in 1978, I don’t assume it could discover any better. I’m willing to bet this Blu-ray disc is as suited if not better than the premiere screening of Superman assist in 78. Broad care must have been taken to dapper up and restore this report. It is practically free of scratches and dirt. It is detailed, far above standard definition. Colors are balanced and observe catching. Incompatibility is natural and evenly spread. Inserted scenes are consistent with the rest of the film. Never looked better. Composed, 1978. There are a few scenes with plenty of grain and most of the film gives the impression of being a diminutive out of focus, a minute blurred. Five star transfer, four star visual impact. I doubt if a 1080p present is getting powerful more out of this report than a 720p expose.
