Format:Blu-ray
Superman Returns has to be one of the most under-appreciated films of recent years.
While some may criticise elements of the story or the characterisation of some characters or even the leisurely pace of the film NOBODY can deny that Superman Returns is a visually sumptuous and thrilling work of cinema. (By the way those who thought that there wasn't enough action in the film or that we didn't see enough of Superman's powers must have missed the part where Superman throws a small CONTINENT into space).
This BD version really does blow the DVD version out of the water. The gorgeous palette is superbly presented here in all its subtleties with Superman's costume looking particularly rich and vivid. The blacks are far richer and deeper without a trace of grain (which is good considering this film has quite a few pivotal space / night sequences.
Sound is also sublime and while I haven't got the best surround sound setup I did notice a marked improvement in clarity and texture of the sound as opposed to the DVD version.
I bought this film as part of the amazing 13 disc Superman Collector's Tin and have found this a more than worthy double dip. If you're half the Superman fan that I am, then you will too!

Format:Blu-ray
got superman on blu ray and i was a little disappointed. not so much of a different than a standard dvd.but better on blu ray. the HD transfer is poor and should have been better the sound is ok on DD 5.1 but the pcm 5.1 should have been better if only there was one a big shame.i we recommend this movie but don't expect too much

Format:HD DVD
This film is still very good...but having watched King Kong first of all in the HD DVD films I have, I have to say I was slightly disappointed. It just doesn't look like this film was shot in HD? Am i wrong? theres only one scene that stands out to me and looks amazing...the bit when Clark is a teenager running through the crops that looks true HD. Having view some films I must say bright colourful scenes really stand out and look stunning on HD.
definitely worth buying for your collection but not one of the best HD films on offer. Do some studios use different HD encoding because Doom and King Kong both look superb.
