Superman (4 Film Favorites): A Treasure Trove for New Fans
For those who still don't believe that a man can fly, this four-DVD pack provides a wonderful opportunity for children of any age who haven't yet discovered the timeless magic of the late Christopher Reeve's performance as the legendary Man of Steel.

The four films (I-1978, II-1981, III-1983, and IV-1987) are presented here double-sided (I/II) and (III/IV) in their theatrical release form. Each movie will features a trailer and a producer's commentary, in addition to a few extra goodies (i.e. tv commercials, a "Superman III" documentary, and some deleted scenes). Perhaps the best deleted scene is from "Superman II," offering a rare glimpse inside the Fortress of Solitude as Lois gently offers Superman a few baking tips. Its amusing romantic context is much appreciated as an added attraction.

In terms of rating the film with their extras:

"Superman: The Movie": *****
"Superman II": **** 1/2
"Superman III": ***
"Superman IV: The Quest for Peace": ** 1/2

Overall: **** (plus an additional * for the generously low cost).

Superman 4 film favorites
Nowhere are you going to get a better deal than on this here. You get all the Superman films that starred the late Christopher Reeve in one collection that is more than 1/2 off the standard collection price. The only downfall is being only on 2 discs and being double sided. That is why I only give it a 4 star rating. Don't let that deter you from buying this great item though because it is a great collection still and at the price of 13.99 it's a must have. Just have to be a little extra careful handling the discs.
