Superman - BLU-RAY Version (1978)

Mark Duncan from Northern Ireland , 27/07/2007

i am going to review th Blu-ray transfer here rather that the movie itself as everyone has seen this movie probably more than once. The transfer to Blu-Ray was not bad but not the best I have seen either. Supermans suit colour looked good but in general the movie was lacking in Hi-Def detail in my opinion. The 5.1 dolby soundtrack is a tad improved with a few more rear effects and a bit more boom.

Silly plot, over the top acting (especially Hackman) and a man who can fly. What more could you want from THE definitive super-hero movie?

It doesn't gain much going to blu-ray, but as it was originally shot 30 years ago it wasn't really likely to.

What a classic of its time. Yes ok, it looks dated now, and the effects just show how far things have come, but the effort and care required at the time is wonderful. John Williams music plays such a massive role and the performances are truly delightful. Blue Ray just makes this classic even more magical.

Considering this is about 30 years old, the film looks fantastic in the blu ray format. Obviously some of the special effects aren't up to today's standards, but nevertheless, it's still a classic film, and by far the best superman film made to date. The extra features were interesting. Worth a watch.
