Customer Reviews of Look, Up in the Sky - The Amazing Story of Superman
IT IS WONDERFUL!!!!!! This DVD was put together by Bryan Singer, who also directed Superman Returns. Watching Singer on this DVD, you see that he "gets" the character. My optimisim for Superman Returns is increased even more! But the DVD also offers a truly loving retrospective on Superman from the '30's to the present, with great clips of movies, tv, and beautiful comic art. My only regret is that more comic pros were not interviewed, although the interviews contributed by Paul Levitz and Mark Waid were nice. If you love Superman, you must have this DVD.
A great documentry
I'm not really a big Superman fan. But I am excited to see Superman Returns when it comes out in theaters soon. Like some people I was able to get a look at Look, Up in the sky on A&E not that long ago. I really enjoyed the documentry and the story of how Superman became not only the biggest name in comics but an Icon as well. Superman has had a big influence in the comic book industry. Without him where will alot of comics be today. And you Marvel fanboys(not that I'm against Marvel) have to admit that Marvel wouldn't exsist if Superman didn't exist. In this documentry you get the whole of how Superman was created, getting his own comic start, got his own radio show, to being on TV as a cartoon, a TV show,and the Superman films including peviews of Superman Returns. You get the big times of Superman, and you get the bad times of Superman. It tells the story of how Superman has had an impact on America,like the Great depression, from WWII to other tragidies in America. It talks to people that have grew up as Superman fans. A truely great Superman documentry and at a great price. Oh and Michael E. Murphy there is somewhat of a Batman story but it's on the 2 disc special edition of Tim Burton's Batman. It tells the story of Batman and his times in films. But the documentry dosn't go into much detail. Maybe when the sequal to Batman Begins comes out DC will release a DVD like this. So anyway if your a big Superman fan, a comic book fan or a movie fan and like the Superman films the you definatly need to get this DVD.
A must for any fan
I have been a fan of the Man of Steel since the old George Reeves series of the 50s. Superman is even from my home town of Cleveland, Ohio. Something my parents had no idea about.
<
>Anyways this is a great documentary that traces the early history of the character from the comics, to TV and to movies!! Along the way, how Superman changed with the times. This DVD is a must for any Superman fan.
<
>I'm sure there were a lot of things that Kevin Burns and Bryan Singer did not include in their film. I thought there were a couple of major ones that should have been used.
<
>The DVD featured a couple of clips from the Filmation series of the late 60s, pre-SuperFriends. Bud Collyer, the voice of Superman in the Fleischer cartoons and the radio program, was also the voice in this show. CBS was forced to cancel the series after three years. At this point, the show had become the Superman/Batman Hour and was cancelled due to the violence. No mention was given to the show and the impact it had on its audience.
<
>Another Superman cartoon premiered on Saturday mornings in 1987. This show produced by the team of Ruby/Spears borrowed from the Donner film and even had a slightly sanitized version of John Williams theme as it's theme. This show was family friendly as at the end of each major story, there was a feature called Superman's Family Album. This 5 min piece featured a pre-Superman Clark Kent as he was growing up on the farm in Smallville. The show lasted only one season on CBS. After this show, then came the debacle that is Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.
<
>Neither the Filmation or Ruby/Spears Superman cartoons are available on DVD and I hope that one day they will be soon.

>This beautifully made documentary was made with love by fans of the character and I am estactic someone took the time to introduce to many of us the real story of the Man of Steel. I watched the show on A&E when it premeired a couple of weeks ago and knew that it would be in my collection soon after. If you are a fan, do yourself a favor and purchase Look Up in the Sky!!!
