That means the Christopher Reeve Collection of the Superman films and Superman Returns both come out the same day along with Supergirl.

So I wonder when they'll double dip with the iMAX version of the film.

Are you kidding this is Disney's most successful movie of all time.

I think your post belongs in the "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" thread. If you're talking about "Superman Returns", it is owned by Warner Brothers and not Disney. And no, it's not the WB's most successful film of all time, either.

As for someone who said the IMAX version may surface on future releases, I highly doubt future releases of the movie will include the IMAX 3D version -- only Universal and Disney has done that with their "Apollo 13", "The Lion King" and "Beauty and the Beast" releases. Plus, I think the kind of 3D glasses needed for the IMAX version are more expensive than traditional 3D, anyway.

Okay what you all forget or those that didn't like the film is that it was kind of a reintroduction to Superman after not being in the theaters for a long time. I am sure now that they reintroduced the characters, etc. the next movie will be more entertaining with a better story. I for one loved the special effects of this movie when compaired to the originals and thought all of the cast were right for their parts.

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.

Apparenly the point of this waste of my f**kin time was to make superman a stalker and lex an over the top simple con-man. This movie sucked beyond comprehension. Singer should get off his knees cuz he blew this one bigtime. "you know how I know you're gay?"... you liked superman returns.

Keep up the gay comments and your gonna get your ass banned from this site and after only 4 post. Keep your HOMOPHOBIA to yourself.

Possibly. I've been hearing a lot that there was about 30 minutes cut. Including an amazing opening scene which cost 10 million dollars to make that Bryan hopes to rerelease in IMAX 3D.

I still thought the film the perfect the way it was, could've used a little more in the begining. 8th viewing last night.

Wow, some serious hurt feelings. I had no idea the world got so sensitive. It's a joke, man, not an attack on people of an alternate lifestyle. And, not to mention, a direct quote from the 40 Year Old Virgin. Like, "...you listen to Coldplay". But if you are offended then I would like to apologize to Jack and anyone else who didn't see the movie or get the joke. I'm not a homophobe dude, I have gay friends and family members. So I don't care that Bryan Singer is gay, I loved the Usual Suspects, Apt Pupil, both his X-Men movies, and I'll go see anything he does in the future (unless he does another bad Superman movie). All this being said, I'll retire and let you all have your very sweet and docile DVD chat club. But please, everyone, thoughen up a bit, it's a rough world out there.

It was an awful unoriginal joke.

Superman Returns >>>>>>>> You.

Haha who the **** uses lame to describe a damn movie? Hahahaha.

Anyway... The artwork is pretty bad... I like the one-disk art ebtter than the Two-Disk art which is basically forcing me into getting the One-Disk and Two-Disk editions of the movie... That on top of the "Kryp-tin" Superman Collection...

Loads of people.

Thank goodness for the Ultimate Edition box, which is how I will pick this one up. The individual release box art for this film is horrible. I am in the camp of those that enjoyed this, enjoyed it a lot. I'm telling you, go back and check out Supes 78 and you are going to find it too had a lot more character and romantic elements than it did action. I keep seeing that as a reason this film wasn't a "Superman" film and it is a false perception IMO.  

As for the "gay" subtext; folks need to grow up.

"Superman Returns" is one of those films that should be epic & fun, but, comes off big & by the numbers. I expected a lot more from director, Bryan Singer. There are quite a few loopholes to the film. "Returns" can't hold a match to the first two "Superman" films (those are still tops).

"Superman Returns"' main & ultimately crippling problem is that it lacks the charm, warmth, & humor of "Superman: The Movie" & "Superman II" & this problem spreads throughout the film's lead charcter's. The chemistry between Lois & Superman is practically non-existent (they don't even kiss for God's sake!), & the big battle between Lex & Supes is lame & could be akin to a New York gang mugging.

Brandon Routh does a passable job in the title role, but, in some scenes it seems as if Routh is doing an empty impression of Reeve. The classic Superman flyby that ends each "Super" film is mechanically done here. Oddly, of all the character's in the film Superman gets the least lines. The scenes where Superman secretly looks in on Lois & her family, & the scene where he watches, what might be his own son, sleeping are actually, & I hate to say it, a bit creepy.

Kate Bosworth is too young to be playing Lois Lane. Her Lane is more of a smoking, soccer mom than a hard-nosed reporter. The thin plotline of Lois' son possibly being Superman's is just ludicrous. Remember, Superman gave up his powers in "II" in order to be with Lois. Only after learning about the Phantom Zone criminals taking over the world, did Supes go back & retrieve his super powers.

Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor is one of the saving graces of "Superman Returns" (the action scenes are the other saving grace). His Luthor is more inline with Gene Hackman's portrayal than Spacey admits. However, Spacey doesn't bring that sense of menace that both Hackman & Michael Rosenbaum (Luthor in "Smallville" to their roles. The scene where Luthor discovers Lois & her son aboard his yacht & the scene on the island near film's end are priceless. Parker Posey is dissmissable as Kitty (Posey was better as Gail Weathers in "Scream 3". Valerie Perrine's, Miss Teschmacher & Ned Beatty's, bumbling Otis are sorely missed.

Superman's return is a welcome one but it's not an epic one.

Loads of images added - menus, and screens of each deleted scene.

Bloody hell, Woodward in usefulness shocker

Where is the infamous "Return to Krypton" deleted scene?
