Editorial Review: Description: A new, updated version of the popular comic book hero "Superman." The story begins with Superman's birth on the doomed planet Krypton and follows him on his arrival to Earth, his childhood in Kansas and his career as reporter for the Daily Planet. Amazon.com essential video: Richard Donner's 1978 epic about the Man of Steel showed how a film about a superhero could be a moving and romantic experience even for people who long ago gave up comic books. Beginning on the icy planet Krypton, the story follows the baby Kal-El, whose rocket ship lands in Smallville, Kansas. He is found there by a childless couple and raised as the shy Clark Kent (the young Kent is played by Jeff East). The film is perhaps most touching in these sequences, with expanses of wheat fields blowing in the wind and with a young man who can't figure out what part in destiny his great powers are meant to play. The second half, with Reeve taking over as Clark/Superman, is bustling, enchanting (the scene in which Superman flies girlfriend Lois Lane--played by Margot Kidder--through the night sky is great date material), and funny, thanks largely to Gene Hackman's sardonic portrayal of nemesis Lex Luthor. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - A Pure SuperheroIn today's Hollywood, the superhero movie is a changing breed.

Fortunately, the first "Superman" film passes the test of time as a testament to old-school superheroes...men and women that truly can be admired. Now, don't get me wrong...I consider "Dark Knight" to be perhaps the most ...

The product/s was defective. Rating: - Original and Still the BestEven if you compare this movie to today's superhero movies such as Iron Man or The Dark Knight, you would enjoy this movie more. There is a more human element to this and this is in part due to great writers and phenomenal actors. The problem with most superhero movies is they have a lead character that is quite muscle-bound and finding such an actor that can also act is not a common phenomenon. Enter Christopher Reeves, who had both the physique and talent and you have history in the making - the ...
