Best superhero movie, IMO.
It's basically flawless, save for a few cheesy parts.
The DVD is top-notch, too. The audio is excellent (a few parts of dialogue are tinny because of the condition of sound elements.) and the video is perfect. I actually find the new director's cut to be better than the original. The added scenes, especially the "Gauntlet of Doom" scene make the movie better.
Plus, the DVD extras are great...the Donner/Mankewicz commentary is highly entertaining and informative. The price of the disc is worth it just for the featurette on the special effects (and the screen tests.)
Another top-notch disc from WB. (The fact that the original sound mix and original cut isn't on the disc doesn't bother me. Who would want to listen to the inferior 2.0 track when there's a reference quality 5.1 track on the disc. Plus, the director's cut improves the flow in a few parts.)
