DVD Reviews of Look, Up in the Sky - The Amazing Story of Superman
DVD Review: Casi perfecto
Summary: 4 Stars
Me encant?, fascinante historia, reminiscencias y la historia de uno de los mas grandes superheroes de todos los tiempos. Sin embargo una precisi?n: 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 dem?s, fant?stica producci?n, adem?s de los recuerdos de un George Reeves siempre grande. Un homenaje y el recuerdo de uno de los mejores. DVD Review: A Must Own For Any Superman Fan
Summary: 5 Stars
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! DVD Review: It's A Bird..It's A Plane..It's A Must Have
Summary: 5 Stars
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.DVD Review: Loved It
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 5 Stars
Look, up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's SUPERMAN!
Sixty-nine years ago this world turned a corner. In 1938, two young boys created a hero that would inspire an entire planet and someone who this world would adopt as its own son. Jerry Siegal and Joe Shuster gave us Superman, the world's first superpowered hero.
Produced by Bryan Singer (Superman Returns, X-Men), Look, Up in the Sky! The Amazing Story of Superman is an in-depth look at the Man of Steel's history, going way back to before Siegal and Shuster created him, what led up to it, and what happened once they put pen to paper.
This is a remarkable documentary. It covers the comic books, all TV series, the movies, cartoons, even a hokey Superman musical.
Interviews with Stan Lee, Gene Simmons, Mark Hamill, Adam West, Annette O'Toole, Bryan Singer, Brandon Routh, Jack Larson and a host of others are peppered throughout, with the whole documentary narrated by Kevin Spacey.
This is the history of the Man of Steel.
This is the amazing story of Superman.
Go watch it.
Description of Look, Up in the Sky - The Amazing Story of Superman
Here he is! It's Superman -- in an amazing, thrill-packed story of the legendary hero through the years: from comic books to cartoons to TV to movies, including awesome see-it-first, see-it-now footage of 2006's Superman Returns. Discover the Man of Steel story that's never been told with the action and excitement you expect from the mightiest of all heroes. No matter if you're a super fan or just a movie fan, this is the adventure you've been waiting for.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
