This is my dad's favorite film he even brought my mom to see it on their first date, 30 years later when this was on TV my mom admitted to all of us that it was a pretty shitty date because my dad was so transfixed by the movie he didn't pay any attention to her at all,…

now I am not claiming to be an expert but I am not entirely sure if that's how the earth's orbit works
adamboltJan 16, 2020With apologies to Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford, and people who pronounce the word ‘Krypton’ wrong, this movie would be even stronger if you cut out the first 45 minutes entirely and started with the very first shot in Metropolis. That’s when the story really begins anyway.…
Matt SingerJul 7, 2025would make for an incredible double feature with interstellar about how love is the one thing in this world stronger than science ❤️

Christopher Reeve was the man, the Superman, if you will. Real hero stuff right here.

Superman is a timeless, magical, and magnificent masterpiece that earns an 8.3/10 rating. Richard Donner's film brought a comic book icon to life with breathtaking sincerity and epic scale, defining the genre for generations. Highlights: - Masterful Storytelling: The screenplay is a masterwork of…
Hylas lovedSupermanThis is the Superman from my childhood. There was also the Super Friends, but a movie feels real. Big fan, there have been great Supermen to follow but Christopher Reeves looked the part back where hero’s were on cartoons and tv. I’ve seen the Donner cut and it closes some holes for me, watch…
Tinashe Chivaviro likedSupermanKrypton blows up, baby Kal-El rockets to Earth, grows up as Clark in Kansas, hiding powers until he embraces his destiny. He moves to Metropolis, works at the Daily Planet, falls for Lois, debuts as Superman saving people and stopping disasters. Lex Luthor plots to nuke the West Coast for real…

Christopher Reeve is by far the best Superman. This movie still holds up.

Metacritic
This Superman alludes explicitly to its origins in the Depression-era comics, and Clark has a quaint 30s habit of using the phrase “Swell!” from his boyhood. Maybe now this movie looks quaint in the same way. But there’s still a surge of adventure and fun.
Peter Bradshaw
The Guardian
Superman is a bastion of blockbuster innocence, a movie that’s a studio product, certainly, but also something that could have grown from one of Smallville’s sun-kissed cornfields.
Josh Larsen

A movie that is pure escape and good, clean, unadulterated fun.
