World Superman: The Ultimate Collector's Edition

[Kevin Roegele]

I'm buying both the Donner Superman II and SUperman Returns on release date, and then I'll pick up the Reeve boxset later on.

Jimbo, you are in England?? Im in US and counting the days.

The Ultimate edition is the one in the tin container here in US isnt it??

I just picked up Lois and Clark 4 and AD of Superman 4,5 dvd sets. My husband keeps teasing me he's putting the Ult Edition away for Christmas. (Not likely---LOL) I can wait til Nov 28 but barely.

But now I've just found out that The Ultimate Collection doesn't come out until the 4th December, whereas The Christopher Reeve Collection comes out this Monday, on the 20th November.

...And I want to get the Donner Cut as soon as it comes out! So what do I do now?

Yes, I'm from England and I have to get the Donner cut straight away, and seeing as the Christopher Reeve Collection is out tomorrow, it has to be that one!

...I just can't wait now! t:

The 13 disc set is out in a couple of weeks. I think releasing the Reeve boxset and then the uber boxset a few weeks after that is not on, as a lot of people are gonna buy the Reeve one without knowing that the mega set is to follow with Superman Returns included.

 

[MST3KPIMP]

I think this would make a great extra!

does anyone know if Superman 2 (lester version) was remastered, sound and image wise? I have the single disc version and I'm just not sure if its worth buying again.

What site did you get it from so fast? Of what you've seen of the discs how is the picture & sound quality of the older movies? Now that you've got the set in your hands how would you rate it in terms of disc packaging?

It appears the set the site is selling comes with a free key-ring and the Thank You, Superman! book by Don Curry.

Pretty impressive, but I heard a rumor regarding the Region 1 version. Apparently, word is circulating random copies of the US release have contained the original DVD release of "Superman III", as opposed to the new version. Anybody able to verify this? The last thing I want is to buy this set, and discover an error like that...

mine contained the delux edition of S3,though i have yet to try it.

edit.i have just tried it and the superman 3 disc has printed on it THE DELUX EDITION but it is the original release

packaging is fine,though not practical in a sense of,it is easier just to have them seperate rather than take the slip case out of the tin all the time.picture quality,well i have only watched SR.Trouble is it was filmed dark and my projector throws it up big so it does not seem the greatest of pics on my projector.

 

[3 Dev Adam]

Mine's fine.

That does suck, I don't want to have to go through the trouble of sending the set back over & over again if this were to happen to me.

Same problem here. It is the original release with only Cast & Crew listing and trailer as extras.

 

[3 Dev Adam]

You don't need to send the entire set back, just the defective disc.

 

[vampireslayer97]

Well, I'm sure Warner will replace the discs once it's come to their attention. I just thank god there's no problems with any of the other discs.

 

[BatFitz]

Hm, well I have mine pre-ordered from Barnes'n'Noble.com...so when I get it and if it's like that...could I send in the disc and have them replace it?

 

[C. Lee]

Here is another site talking about the problem with the Superman III disc http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/super-blunder.html .....they say it is unclear if WB will replace them.

 

[JTStarkiller]

I'm glad it's for Superman III and not any of the others. Next to Superman IV, these are my two least favorite discs of the 14. As long as you can send them in for a replacement, I'll still be getting the set on Tuesday.

They HAVE to, otherwise it's false advertising.

 

[Spoarz™]

^ That'd be pretty frigging bad if they didn't replace them IMO.

 

[Superfan]

Can anyone confirm that Superman II the theatrical cut has remastered picture and sound?
