Verified Review

The definitive superhero/comic book adaptation ever; Christopher Reeve is the ONLY Superman and a DynamicDuo w/Margot Kidder as Lois Lane; John Williams' iconic score is the definition of the word ROUSING

40 years after it's release, Christopher Reeve remains the best Superman portrayal ever.

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.

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.

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