If Batman is the Dark Knight of Superheroes, then certainly Superman is King.
Superman has it all, no one is stronger, faster, braver, and heck, he can fly too. Course he has a seriously over developed boy-scout complex, but he's a loveable blue...read the complete Superman (1978) review at CinemaBlend.com (--)

The film burdens itself with too many story lines and an overlong (though beautifully photographed) prologue, but things really get moving when Reeve takes the screen....read the complete Superman (1978) review at TV Guide (Staff (Not Credited))

When this came out this was a pretty good movie. People loved it. Yes, I would have to agree though, when you watch the movie in this day an age, Christopher looks and feels stiff. But you have to put yourself back in the 70's when this movie came ...

I really think this is a dumb movie. Christopher Reeves is so stiff, whether he is clark kent or superman, it makes the whole movie feel forced.
In the comic books, Lois Lane is supposed to be beautiful and intelligent. Margo Kidder is neither, and ...

This is just the best. I love how they just made this such a wonderful movie. They could have ruined it, but the way they kept things simple really pay off. I don't think there's been a better Superman movie since. Especially not the newest one. ...

Coming from a period in which Lucas & Spielberg were revolutionizing what special effects were, today this film feels awkward and too silly by half. However, the John Williams score is just as towering now as then, and Christopher Reeve shows us how ...

5 of 5 stars for the comic book based movie Superman The Movie. This movie starts the franchise with the destruction of Krypton following sending of its last survivor to Earth. From the landing of his ice craft in the fields to his experiences in high ...

The movie:
"You'll believe a man can fly." That was the advertising tagline. Well, I can't think of many instances of it, but this was one time when a movie delivered on its hype. "Superman" fires on many cylinders, but the main one, the integral one, ...

Man, time flies........not just Superman. I say that because I vividly remember when this movie came out in the theater and the excitement it caused. This was the first Superman anyone had ever seen with modern-day special effects, and I on the big ...

The movie looked nothing like it was old picture. Bluray does make a difference. Love it. ...

In today's Hollywood, the superhero movie is a changing breed. Films like "The Dark Knight" and "Hancock" are taking a reality-based approach to our heroes, portraying them as tortured souls who save lives out of anger or emotion, not because it is ...

Even 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 ...
