Super, man! I'll definitely be picking up the 2 Disc Special Edition. I was hoping for the artwork from the theatrical poster, but this one looks alright!

Worst film of the summer......
I wasn't very impressed with the film and I'm not impressed with the screen cap style cover art.
Further details added...
Worth watching once but not worth owning. WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too long. It makes you appreciate Donner's original even more.
Art is kind of lame, movie is kind of lame, and Warner AGAIN ditches the commentary track on a big release. STOP IT!

Oh knock it off. It wasn't even the worst movie released that week. Take a look at every movie released from early May until early September. And you're telling me this was the worst? Right.

Man, both cover arts suck. I'll pick up the special edition probably but, God, that artwork sucks!

Did you *see* the artwork for the four other "Superman" movies coming out that same week? THOSE suck. I actually think the covers for these are great. Very colorful and slick.

joint best movie this summer and in case anyones wondering R2 is released 4th December
i would have loved to see this as the cover art:
however, the cover art for both versions is pretty decent. prefer the single disc art myself, simply because it is vastly different to the kind of cover art you'd expect for a release such as this (ie, no complete view of the superman logo).
i doubt australia will get either of these covers, as has been the case with many other WB releases (ie, batman begins).
as for the movie, one of the best i've seen this year. I know many people don't agree, but I thought the balance of drama and action was great. was disappointed with spacey's performance and the non-ending/anti-climax though.

Ugh, the artwork for the DVD is UGLY. The one for the 2-disc edition is all right (it's from one of the posters used to market the film, but it's not the US theatrical poster), but the single-disc art is just unappealing.
Still, the art is better than the awful Photoshop work on the Christopher Reeve Superman re-releases. Personally, I love this film and with respect to the first two, I think it is even better than those. I really don't understand why some people don't like it when they like "Batman Begins" and honestly, both films are talky with a fair amount of action sequences.
I am disappointed with the lack of commentary track, but I think the 3-hour long documentary and deleted scenes will be worth it. (I don't think Warner has finalized the specs yet, maybe we will get a commentary.)

Damn...whats the point of a commentary track if you thought the movie sucked? Just proves people are never satisfied. Still thought it was the best movie of the summer. Yes even better than Pirates 2, which was way to long as well
I wanted to like this more than I actually did. I HATED Kate Bosworth in the role of Lois. Totally and completely miscast. I'm sad to say I'll be passing on this - BUT getting the new, revamped versions of Superman and Superman 2!
Count me as one who was disappointed with the flick. I don't think it was bad or awful, I just felt that the plot elements were reversed with more emphasis on the romance aspect than focusing on a well thought out and involved plan-to-rule-the-earth by Luthor. Just my thoughts...
Cover art is ok, but not very stylish or imaginative. Oh, and just to get this kicked off... NO DTS! What's up with that?!!!

Loved this film, it was great. Saw it in 3-D on IMAX and I've never had a more impressive cinematic experience! Everyone else who left that cinema was just saying words like "amazing!" or "wow!" I prefer the 2-disc art. I might have liked the 1-disc better, but it seems like they cropped it a bit as his hands are missing. You can't see if he's flying or grabbing the plane. Either way, I'll be getting this, that's for sure!
great movie, definetly getting the DVD. only problem with the movie was Kate Bosworth. last I checked Lois Lane wasn't a chain smoking anexoric with chronic pms
wonder how long till we get long detailed posts from people talking about how this movie sucked or how it was better than X3

As I recall, the 1978 original saw Lois Lane getting a good telling-off about smoking. There was also a dig at smokers trying to be healthy in Superman II.
As for this being better than X3, it was the best film of the summer, so of course it was better than X3.
By the way, from the position of the cape and the jet engine, is anyone else reminded of a very funny scene in The Incredibles? :D

I agree. I thought this film was amazing and everything I had hoped for. It bothers me when people say it's the worst of the year and summer just because they didn't like it. Look, I hated, HATED, "Pirates of Caribbean 2". But was it the worst film this summer? Hardly. I was just disappointed in it. And felt it was special effects and action overload. And not very good at that. For the record, I loved the first "Pirates" and will be the first in line to see the third film. And like someone else said above, "Superman Returns" gets compared to "Batman Begins" unfairly. Or at least they shouldn't say "SR" should have been more like "BB". Because "BB" had just as much action as "SR", maybe less. In fact, I thought the first hour of "BB" was so deadly slow, I almost left. But glad I didn't. The last hour certainly made up for it. And I'm foaming at the mouth for the next installment. No, I think Bryan Singer did an outstanding job on this film. He stayed true to the first two movies. Which were pretty big shoes to fill. I not only think this is the best film of the summer, I think it's the best of the year (so far). The others are "Little Miss Sunshine" and "The Illusionist".

i really like the single disc cover for what it is. the 1 disc version for fun people who just want to grab it and enjoy
i hate the 2 disc cover. that's where it should be iconic... and it's not.

Really? I can safely say that Superman was much better than the Descent. And I didn't even see Superman.

Er, that exactly how Margot Kidder played her. Do your homework.
This is the best film of the year. Anyone who complains about the lack of action or lengthy running time missed the whole idea of the film by a mile.

Good movie, entertaing. Ill get the 2 disc but I'm sure another edition will be released in the future
I found Superman to be a little creepy and kind of a jerk in this movie.
ARG! Been waiting forever for some info, and they have to dissapoint! The 2-disc edition cover isnt that bad but who freakin needs the huge 'busy' Daily Planet behind Superman? thats just cheesy. But I like that picture of Superman, it's actually Brandon and not some CGI'd Supes. But i'll be getting it obviously since I ADORED the movie!
Really not impressed with the artwork. Are we being punished for not giving SR more money? I did my part! I saw it twice! :p

Don't buy this as you will be mugged like we all have in the past.(aka...star wars)
Next year Bryan singer will be releasing a director's version with commentry,maybe DTS with more extras galore.
The best thing to look forward to is the extra bits, as there is a whole sequence missing where Superman goes to find Krypton + more saving innocent humans..
bring it on next year...i can't wait.
Even though it is also being released on HD so that could be worth buying this year.
I thought this was fantastic by the way.At least this had a story to it (xmen 3 didn't even have a plot).
Looking 4ward to the next one as Bryan said that he plans to bring more action into the next film.
hope I helped to save your money.....

Best movie of 2006 it was an amazing feature
I am getting the 2 disc for sure. But I have to agree I would have liked to have the coverart with the howering over earth

TOTALLY AGREE

What a missed opportunity, Warner Bros!

Exactly, and I think that 97% of the fans of the movie would also prefer the 'hovering earth' poster for the 2disc artwork. I really don't know who the WB execs listen to because it's obviously not the fans. Put whatever you want on the 1 disc edition but please for gods sake let us (the fans of the movie and collectioners) have a sweet DVD artwork. But I'm sure they know that most fans will buy it no matter what artwork they use (me included) so what the fans want really doesnt matter anymore.
