Superman: 5-Film Collection 4K Ultra HD Review

The Superman: 5-Film Collection has four movies making their debuts on 4K, though really only two of them are worth a damn. I suppose if you’re a Superman fan, maybe it’s worth it, but probably only when it’s on sale.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace 4K Ultra HD Review
