Very Disappointing, I'm afraid,
By
This review is from: The Adventures of Superman: The Complete Third and Fourth Seasons (DVD)
I have the first and second season of "The Adventures of Superman" and even though they were in black and white, I really enjoyed them. Oh, sure, they were a bit corny, it was the fifties after all, and some episodes were better than others, but overall, I liked them a lot. I was excited to get season 3/4 because they were in color. What a disappointment! The quality of the stories went right downhill, drastically! Maybe they were a bit corny before but season 3/4 were downright ridiculous. They replaced the action and adventure with a sad attempt at comedy. An attempt that failed. I'm sorry I ever bought it. I was proud of my Superman DVD's and I considered myself fortunate to have them until I got season 3/4. Now I'm embarrased to even admit I have them. I bought season 3/4 from Amazon marketplace for $12.00. Do yourself a favour and resist the temptation to pick up the color episodes for a cheap price. It's not worth it. Stick with the black and white season one and two. They're great.

Super-Fun but a Bit Disappointing,
By Supergirl, Hero No.1 "Overall 'El' Family fan" (Manitoba, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Adventures of Superman: The Complete Third and Fourth Seasons (DVD)
Overall, this is a great DVD set; the price is reasonable, and it is very nice to take a gander at "Silver Age" Superman adventures.It's a lot of fun; especially so if you can forgive some over-acting and poor scripts at times. After all, back in the day Superman was marketed primarily for youngsters. These were the days when the whole family were to be entertained without having a parental advisory attached. Parents needn't be worried about fowl language or extreme violence, but still have an entertaining and rewarding experience themselves. The disappointment comes in that there are still flaws with the picture quality. Especially the intros which look as if it was copied from someone's old bootleg videotape. The episodes themselves suffer from faults throughout but are small overall. There is a minor amount of graininess to the episodes, but overall they're not that bad. Perhaps the film quality couldn't be completely restored and remastered, or this is how they kept the box set so affordable. Still, I highly recommend this set: *It's a nostalgia treat for any comic fan who remembers or loves the Superman stories of old. *It's a great way for those who want to get a glimpse of an icon in a simpler, friendlier format, where the hero doesn't have to rip off limbs or decapitate someone to achieve his goal. (Or, where he doesn't have an illegitimate child, for that matter!) *It is for anyone who wants an escape from the real world in general; who wants some care-free fantasy and adventure. *It's a great way for parents who want their children to be introduced to Superman, or simply a show that is family friendly. *It's a must have for any Superman collector or enthusiast. So, although, the adult in me may scrutinize the picture quality a bit, and can sometimes roll his eyes at some of the scripts, overall, I'm extremely happy with this box set! It soothes my inner child as it makes me remember how amazing and awe-inspiring Superman was to me back then! [Supergirl still does that, but her cousin not anymore.]

THE MAN OF STEEL IN COLOR !,
By
This review is from: The Adventures of Superman: The Complete Third and Fourth Seasons (DVD)
The original man of steel returns for seasons three and four and his first in color. This 5 disc set contains 26 more episodes comprising of seasons 3 & 4; and the color has definitely added a whole new dimension to the show and made these episodes even more fun to watch. The video and sound quality is better than I expected, compared to the first two seasons. The stock footage is still full of scratches and debris but the episodes themselves look pretty good considering the age of the show. The special features included are Superman the color era, special effects of Superman and amazing story of Superman featurettes. I don't think this show has really received the respect it truly deserved in regards to its release on DVD.DVD Episodes Include: Through the Time Barrier The Talking Clue The Lucky Cat Superman Week Great Caesar's Ghost Test of a Warrior Olsen's Millions Clark Kent, Outlaw The Magic Necklace The Bully of Dry Gulch Flight to the North The Seven Souvenirs King for a Day Joey The Unlucky Number The Big Freeze Peril by Sea Topsy Turvy Jimmy the Kid The Girl Who Hired Superman The Wedding of Superman Dagger Island Blackmail The Deadly Rock The Phantom Ring The Jolly Roger Superman: Brainiac Attacks Original Movie Trailer
