Superman: The Movie [4K Ultra-HD] [1978] [Blu-ray]

I found an extended release of this film in HMV some years ago on DVD and was really happy (the british release always seemed cut short) - I was rather upset to find after a couple of years that the disc had separated in the middle and I had to throw it away. I spent quite a long time looking for the same version again but could not find it until this version came out! Needless to say I snapped it up and cherish as a boyhood classic - fab film, fab version and blue ray just makes things look even better.

Blu Ray, 146 minutes version. Separate end credits for the team responsible for the restoration. Excellent quality image & audio; Superman costume no longer green in a couple of scenes, as seen in previous releases. Has Superman surviving the 3 traps, before breaking into Luther's underground apartment. (I used to have the original Region1 NTSC "washed out" Special Edition, with a documentary that had clips from the film that were better quality than the film itself!) Condition as described; a great deal on price and postage from our regular, reliable third-party seller Momox UK - via Germany and German post. (Languages & subtitles options appear on a thin bar, at the bottom of the screen, as the film introduction starts.) Highly recommended version.

Classic superman, best version out there…highly entertaining..

This an old (1978) DC-Comic favourite starring the late Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent/ Superman.With a stellar cast list including Marlon Brando as Jo-El (Superman's biological father) Susanah York as his biological mother on the doomed planet Krypton, Gene Hackman as the evil criminal on Earth Lex Luther, Terence Stamp as General Zod: Evil leader of the three Kryptonian criminals, Trevor Howard as the First-Elder on Krypton, Glen Ford as Johnathan Kent Clark's Earth-Father and of courseMargot Kidder as Lois Lane: A reporter at the Daily Planet, Superman's love interest on planet Earth.When Krypton's fate was inevitable Jo-El dispatches his son Kai-El (Superman's real name) Earthbound in a craft, when crash landing on Earth, the young child is taken into care by the Kent's, it is soon obvious the youngster has unusual power.Clark eventually takes on the super-hero role after listening to a visual recording made by his biological father.Superman soon flies into action, saving all that he can from both disaster and criminal intent.isGreat fun, Christopher Reeve is looked upon by many as the ultimate Superman, with todays technology how much better would his role have been ?In truth there is no great advantage visually by buying the 4k upgrade in my view.

Very good price but be aware Amazon are sending without the the slipcase / Cover

Great film and now two versions to enjoy.

The extra 40 minutes adds to the experience and its those little extra scenes that make watching it even better.

This was a good buy and greatly enjoyed by teen and gran

It's a must-see movie, especially for the 188-minute movie

LA PRIMERA ES LA VERSIÓN DE SUPERMAN 1978 CON EL CORTE DEL DIRECTOR CON REDOBLAJE CASTELLANO. TAMBIÉN TRAE IDIOMA LATINO.LA SEGUNDA ES EL MONTAJE DE 3 HORAS QUE SE EMITIÓ POR LAS TELES DE USA Y SOLO CON SUBTÍTULOS EN ESPAÑOL.

Not yet open for testing the PQ. But my friends said it is very good 4K for old movie.

For those of us who grew up in the 80s, this was our “Superman”. Like many, although I was technically old enough, I didn’t see the movie theatrically and the first time I saw it was on broadcast TV in this extended version, which I watched again and again on VHS having taped it that night. Only years later did I see the theatrical version and wondered where half the movie went. As many critics have said, this Extended Version is not the director’s intended version, and is basically just the entire filmed script edited together by the producers. It is overlong and many scenes are entirely unnecessary. But for many of us this is the version of the movie we grew up with, and it’s the version we love (faults and all). Thanks to Warner Brothers for bringing this to Blu Ray so those of us who have long since killed our VHS copies can enjoy this version once more.

Was habe ich mich gefreut den Film endlich in seiner 3 Stunden Fassung sehen zu können.Ich bin ehrlich: Es zieht sich schlimmer als Kaugummi. Für Fans bestimmt die Erfüllung jede Sekunde Mehrwert zu haben, aber ich möchte unterhalten-, aber nicht gelangweilt werden. Bereits der Anfang besteht aus unsäglichen gefasel und Kamerafahrten, wo man sich fragt wozu das gut sein soll. Der komplette Film verliert durch das lange gequatsche und Kamerafahrten jegliche Spannung. Es wirkt wie ein Rohschnitt.Otto normal Verbraucher sollten sich den Kauf gut überlegen.
