Amazon.com
Executive-produced by Superman Returns director Bryan Singer and narrated by star Kevin Spacey, Look, Up in the Sky: The Amazing Story of Superman is an exhaustive, nearly two-hour documentary covering over 60 years of the Man of Steel. It begins with the early work of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster leading to the 1938 Action Comics debut of Superman, then continues through the Max Fleischer cartoons, the Columbia serials, to the 1950s Adventures of Superman series and the tragic suicide of its star, George Reeves. Then it's on to the 1966 Broadway musical, the 1970s feature films (including screen tests of Stockard Channing and Lesley Anne Warren), the paralysis and death of star Christopher Reeve, the subsequent TV series Lois & Clark and Smallville, and the 2006 feature Superman Returns. The documentary also discusses Superman's transformations during World War II, the atomic age, and the 1960s; events in the comic books such as John Byrne's reboot and The Death of Superman; and obscurities such as a pilot for The Adventures of Superpup and the TV-musical version of It's a Bird… It's a Plane… It's Superman. Interview subjects range from two-production stars such as Noel Neill and Jack Larson (who were in both Adventures of Superman and Superman Returns), and Annette O'Toole (Superman III and Smallville) to producer Ilya Salkind, director Richard Donner, Margot Kidder, Stan Lee, Dean Cain, and Brandon Routh. The animated series deserves more coverage, and some interviewees are conspicuously absent--no surprise Lois & Clark's Teri Hatcher couldn't find the time, but what about Smallville's Tom Welling?--but overall it's an impressive and engaging examination of the DC Comics icon. --David Horiuchi

Casi perfecto April 25, 2008
Me encanto, fascinante historia, reminiscencias y la historia de uno de los mas grandes superheroes de todos los tiempos. Sin embargo una precision: en la contraportada dice que hay subtitulos en ingl�s y franc�s, sin embargo el DVD solo tiene subtitulos en franc�s y en ingles via Closed Caption. Es uno de los pocos, por no decir, el �nico detalle que falla. Por lo demas, fantastica produccion, ademas de los recuerdos de un George Reeves siempre grande. Un homenaje y el recuerdo de uno de los mejores.

A Must Own For Any Superman Fan March 28, 2008
This is the perfect documentary for Superman fans about the last 70 years of our favorite hero. Yes, not every little thing was mentioned in this movie, but way enough to make any fan happy. If you are one of the ones that have seen this on TV, I'd still recommend that you buy this. The DVD has more than the TV version that was edited with commercials and this is widescreen! The picture quality is pefect and the info is priceless. I loved the interviews and scenes in front of and behind the camera. They spend a lot of time on most subjects that they discuss and it is just fun. I have watched this DVD twice just today alone!

It's A Bird..It's A Plane..It's A Must Have February 24, 2008
I was very happy with this documentary. Kevin Spacey does an excellent narration of Superman. So many things I knew and so many things I didn't. This is a must for any fan of Superman. I already own the TV Series with George Reeves and also own all 4 of the Superman movies.
