Is it a bird? Is it A Plane? .no it's the SupermanultimateCollection!
Now call me a 'big kid' if you like, but I have remained a fan of the Superman stories ever since I could crawl.
As a child I have watched all the Superman cartoons, brought all the comics and action figures, and owned all the movies and cartoons on tape.
Even from my early teens to the present date I still enjoy the Superman series that are shown on TV:- The New Adventures Of Superman with Dean Kane, and the Smallville series.

Advantages: All four movies for the first time on DVD Disadvantages: cheesy but fun

I know that was just a brief introduction on the movies, but I am sure you all know the basics as they are donkies years old now.
The movies themselves are a bit cheesy, but hey, their super hero flicks so they are supposed to be. They are still good fun, and the kids are bound too love them.
Christopher Reeve who died in October last year, was the actor selected from 200 candidates to play the super hero. The 1978 film 'Superman' spawned three sequels and Christopher played the title character in each one.
Sadly Christopher became paralysed after a horse riding accident in May 1995, but still remained a 'Superman' in many fans hearts.
The new box set DVD's also contain bonus features such as 'the history of Superman'.
