I've already ordered Superman The movie on BD from Amazon UK and bless their cotton socks, it's in the post

And sure enough it has arrived. Hopefully it will be lovely and pristine upon viewing.

I wasn't impressed at all with its picture quality, The Omega Man, which is older and also released by Warner Bros. looks much much better, just to name an example.

Superman: The Movie looks good on BD, but inside the Daily Planet it looks DNR'd. Soft and no grain.

Just finished watching it, it didn't look too bad. I can't say it was a huge improvement over standard def dvd.

One thing I did notice, if you watch the start of the film when Krypton explodes, I swore I could see what looked like a sheet complete with folds/creases in it, behind the planet/explosion on the left hand side.

Check it out and let me know if I'm seeing things. It was just for a split second as the explosion happens.

The Blu-ray colors look far more natural if you A/B it to the DVD. It almost looks like they color corrected it for BD.
