Released in 1978 and running long at 143 minutes with the LONGEST credits both opening and closing you'll EVER see,is why I took 1/2 star off from the greatest superhero movie ever made.There can and are debates about other super hero movies BUT like"Godfather"did for gangster movies,Superman does for superhero movies ( read into that Batman,ect.).Its no coincidence that Marlon Brando was in both movies.However Christopher Reeve WAS Superman and carried the movie.Aided by Brando and Hackman and Ford and Kidder and so on,the cast was amongst the best ever,BUT superhero movies depend on believing the "UN"believable and that was Reeves.If you somehow missed this movie because it is 34 years old,see it because it does stand up.Trailer URL below and a IMDB summary for those who somehow never heard of this,is below.And for you young'ins who loved TV's "Smallville"this movie and the comic it was based on, is what inspired it.
Unable to convince the ruling council of Krypton that their world will destroy itself soon, scientist Jor-El takes drastic measures to preserve the Kryptonian race: He sends his infant son Kal-El to Earth. There, gaining great powers under Earth's yellow sun, he will become a champion of truth and justice. Raised by the Kents, an elderly farm couple, Clark Kent learns that his abilities must be used for good. The adult Clark travels to Metropolis, where he becomes a mild-mannered reporter for the Daily Planet...and a caped wonder whose amazing feats stun the city: Superman! Meanwhile, Lex Luthor, the world's greatest criminal mind, is plotting the greatest real estate swindle of all time. Can't even the Man of Steel stop this nefarious scheme? Written by Gregory A.
