2.0 out of 5 stars I'm being kind, June 10, 2003

By	Russell Rubert (King of Prussia, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Yes, I am being kind in rating this 2 stars. It really isn't a very good soundtrack anthology. I am familiar with all the movies,the original TV show, the Serial,the Supergirl entry and Film cartoon and this album does not come close to capturing the spirit of those scores. The play isn't even worth a mention, why they included so much from it and not something from the Lois & Clark program is beyond me. I strongly reccomend against buying this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Note to John Williams' and Jerry Goldsmith' fans: AVOID, August 27, 2000

By	Minh Doan (Boisbriand, Quebec, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have listened to soundtracks of most of the movies these gentlemen have worked for. And I have listened the original tracks of the themes included on this CD.

I was shocked when I heard the sound coming from "Superman: The Ultimate Collection". Horrible!

It would be easy to argue that soundtracks not done by the original orchestra will always be inferior. But I also listen to "compilation" CDs. For example, Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops have done soundtracks of other movie composers and have always done a remarkable job.

Most compilation albums are excellent, even when compared to the originals. This is NOT one of them.

I think the orchestra featured in this album was missing quite a few instruments, and have "simplified" some themes. The brass also seemed a little too loud. Some themes were missing some key melodies at certain times.

If you have already listened to the originals and expect an adequate remake, look somewhere else. This album will just insult your ears.

NOTE: I cannot comment on the television tracks featured on this album, since I have never seen the old shows...

3.0 out of 5 stars Reviews are for a different CD, July 28, 2006

By	Wilma Beale (Buellton, California USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Some of the very negative ratings given for this CD were intended for a different CD, Superman (Ultimate Collection). Some of the negative reviews refer to music from Superman III and the play; these pieces are not in THIS CD, Superman- The Ultimate Collection, but are in the other CD, Superman (Ultimate Collection). Hope this helps some of you.
