Back in 1978, you didn't watch Superman for the fight scenes. Instead, you were amazed that Chris Reeve really made you believe a man could fly while holding Lois Lane in one arm and a helicopter in the other. Not to mention becoming using your body as a train track, replace an airplane engine, and chasing rockets.
The Pikachu Brothers What else is left for the film world to invent? 3D? Check. Ultra realistic CGI? Check. Breath-taking practical effects? Check. We will never be as amazed to movies as those living in the 70's-80's lol
I really appreciate how you completely glossed over the fact that it has quite possibly the greatest opening credits sequence in film history, courtesy of the great John Williams
I remember being a little kid and hearing that scream and being like "OH DAMN!" Also, yeah Superman is what we SHOULD WANT to be, NOT a mirror for what we are.
Exactly. An ideal of hope, sincerity and integrity. That's the point of ideals - we can never reach them, but we should never stop trying. Saw this film in the cinema when I was 10 years old and it's pretty much shaped my life ever since.
I rewatched Superman last night and no one can hold a candle to Christopher Reeve's portrayal. Even though Henry Caville is my generation's Superman, Reeve is always Superman to me. He was kind, generous, and courageous without being flat or two dimensional. He was a nuanced character without any dark side. He defeated bad guys, but he got a cat out of a tree without it feeling like a cliché because he liked helping everyone. He had sass without being cruel, and was a chivalrous charmer. We will never see a Superman like that again. It should have been untouched
In the case of this movie, I don't think the origin story is unnecessary, firstly because let's face it it's the best Superman origin story put to film, and secondly because the emotional and thematic conflicts of that story pay off at the climax, and it's one of the few superhero movie origin stories that does something like that and does it so well.
Plus, I mean, yeah, no doubt most people knew of Superman but not necessarily his whole back story or anything, lots of people will go see a movie but not read the comic.
Eli Burry-Schnepp There's no such thing as "supposed" when it comes to adapting an 80 year old corporate character that's been reinvented over and over again with different personalities.
Vanessa Berberi yeah bills interpretation of superman is a load of crap. Superman is an idea. A symbol created by Clark Kent to inspire people. If anything he came to earth as Kal-el, Who was raised as Clark Kent who then became superman
Superman is supposed to be Kal. A confident, powerful, knowledgeable leader, acting like a light showing the way. Clark is supposed to be the dork. It’s his only cover.
@your daughter, tell her that last bit was wrong. Superman IS supposed to reflect what we wish Society could/should be and NOT what society actually is. Batman is meant to reflect what society actually is.
Uhhhh thats what you think. Superman represents the good in all of us and what we can be if we want to. That would never work unless you first have him reflect what the society is today to fit the standards by modernizing him.
are you idiot dude if indestructible man chaos is bound to happen man of steel is more realistic then those other super man movie which goody goody stupid dream
+Luciano Castrogiovanni well I guess I should respect the original super man you are talking about who inspired so many other comic and manga but you do have to admit its more entertaining to see character development rather than seeing god fix everything with its power
i've just realized now that superman 1978 does feel more realistic than any other superhero movies. why? supervillains doesn't always attack the world, it's also showing that superman did something for society instead of punching through buildings and being moody.
"Should reflect society for what it is..." Yeah, because god forbid our superheroes and Star Trek films should inspire us and make us want to strive for a better world for everyone. They should be dark and bleak because hope and idealism is for losers.

Christopher Reeve is still the greatest Superman ever. And Margot Kidder was a great actress. I think she was the best Lois Lane ever.

Otto Andersson Okay just making sure. While u make some good points, I will say there are many countries that would beg to differ. You sadly have to admit America has had a bad history of backing dictators in the name of anti communism and supporting them as they wreak terror and havoc on countries. Thats left quite the bad taste in the mouths of many and we have never truly even owned up or apologized for that (Some would say we shouldn't) its a complicated mess. I'm certainly not gonna bag on my home country but I do know the bad its done.
Even as a kid, i wondered exactly how is it that "not even with his great speed could Superman stop both missiles", then shortly he proceeds to make twenty laps per second around the earth.
Yeah Chris will always be my superman. I got the suoerman movie on my XBOX one. I saw how they did the movie in a documentary and they had to do a lot of work to get my dude to fly. Wow it was a complicated time for him and the cast but they made it successful. lol RIP C.Reeve
Superman is supposed to be an ideal. The idea is to strive to better ourselves, to improve over time. We shouldn't simply accept the world as it is if we can work to make it a better place.
That's the point of a Super Hero, they're not supposed to accept the world how it is. Well...Super Heroes with ideals, like Superman or even Captain America.
Rest in peace Richard Donner. Thank you for inspiring us all and bringing the man of steel to life with energy and style that to this is day is fun and inspiring. You'll be missed.
Also Zod was human when Superman crushed his hand and threw him into the abyss. Everyone's a hypocrite to say Batman and Superman don't kill. Even in Nolan's Batman he killed those men in the Mountains.
No, they don't count. BvS was crappy with a few good scenes I liked. SS had issues but I could still enjoy for what it was. Any movie made by a committee of suits is a bad idea.
It was less of the neck breaking for me as it was him virtually nuking the entire city. I was already angry about that when the neck breaking scene hit, so I was less likely to forgive it.
"As a pantheon of American pop culture, Superman should evolve to reflect society as it is, not what we wish it was" That there defeats the entire premise of the character.
+VenomShock I agree. Still, if the character evolves to something different , that could be good, don't you agree? Superman as a character not aged well imo. His villains are not so compelling like the villains of Batman or Spiderman. The whole message of the boyscout is simply stupid at this point. Society changed a lot since the 40's. I don't think the take of the character in MoS was the right choice, but it is commendable how they at least tried to change and adapt the character. We still don't have a "fine tuned" Superman, this version of the character (MoS) will endure for the next 10 years or so. Pity, but we can't expect much from Snyder.
Rafael Teles I think he's aged fine, it's just nobody is willing to evolve him in a way that doesn't sacrifice the character's integrity. Superman in the animated series or Mark Waid's Birthright would be a perfect basis for a modern cinematic incarnation of the character. As someone aspiring to be a filmmaker, I too have had my own ideas about evolving the character. Nobody has quite done a movie yet like Nolan was doing with Batman where the basis is challenging Superman's ideals. Also I don't think Spider-Man's villains are particularly good outside the movies. Memorable? Yes. Compelling? No.
***** Well, if we consider only the movies, the portrayal of Doc Ock in Spiderman 2 was just perfect. Molina nailed the character, this is something that most people agree. Spiderman don't have a single "main" villain like the joker, magneto or luthor, the character has at least 3 signature villains. All of these 3 character, Ock, green goblin and Venom can be considered THE spiderman villain. No other mainstream character has this kind of leverage. Sure, they are not complex and multi layered like some Batman villains. Still, at least the character has an pantheon of good villains because he is flexible enough to sustain this, Spiderman is urbane. He is not fixed to a scenario (like Aquaman or the green lantern), his powers gives him advantages and disadvantages, his normal life is one of the most believable, etc It's the complete opposite of Superman. For instance, even if the MoS had some good ideas, a slight change or mistake can jeopardize everything. For example, if the character at least tried to save people in the middle of the destruction, maybe the public reaction would be more forgivable. Same thing if he spared Zod, knocking him out instead of murder. But none of these things happened and people got crazy. Even if you has some good ideas, some comics tried to implement new ideas, etc.. The character is so naturally limited, he has such a fragile buble around him, that would be hard to make him interesting at this point. The "what if" stories of Superman are considered more interesting because they broke these limits. Red Son, Injustice, allstar superman, etc. If you maintain the signature of the character (boyscout to a point of naiveness, humble origin, forced patriotism, invulnerability, etc) its just hard to make him interesting. These aspects could be applied in the 40's, but now? Its just hard man.
People love Batman because he represents humanity's potential to transcend its limitations. People love Superman because he represents the noble, heroic ideals that all of us aspire to. But neither of them can hold a candle to the real greatest comic book superhero of them all: Spider-Man. Why? We've always needed heroes to aspire to, and we always will, but today, we also need to relate to them on some level. Keyword being "also." Spider-Man is the Ur-example of the rare breed of heroes who strikes that balance. He's not the fastest, strongest, toughest, or even the most intelligent superhero out there, but he is the most alive, the most real.
+h0m3st4r Wrong, recently Spiderman is the CEO of his own global company. He is a rich guy now selling tech to the whole world. Not only that, peter is a known scientist. so he is pretty smart. In other words he is kinda tony stark now. I am not kidding.
Can I say "thank you" for getting the fact that Superman is "time traveling," NOT spinning the Earth backwards! As far as stopping EVERYTHING from happening, I believe Superman was trying to minimize the amount of damage he did to the Time stream.
So when he goes to Lois earlier, is there now him plus his earlier self still fixing dams and bridges? Or when he rejoins the time stream, he just becomes/merges with his earlier self?
"Superman should reflect what society is not what we wish it was" After a very stressful day of work, let's all sitback and watch a movie that reminds us of how stressful our day is. What a way to relax.
This is what writers can't seem to understand about Superman. He is what WE SHOULD be. A symbol hope, justice, and how things are supposed to be. Superman shouldn't conform to today's society standards. Superman takes the world as it should be, not as how it is. Superman is not Batman. And they shouldn't turn him into Batman.
Trevor Philips how could you say something so controversial yet so brave? In all seriousness, such an accurate representation of *what people have done to poor Zack Snyder, even when his daughter died*
I was Born in 2002, and Christopher Reeve Superman was the first time I was ever introduced to the Character and I Loved Superman even more when I saw Man Of Steel Opening day, its Really Hard to Choose my Favourite between these two.
I understand the point the kid made, but it sort of misses the point of Superman. Batman is the character who takes the worst of the generation and tries to do his best with those limits. Superman is the character, the fictional character mind you, who has a few pages of comic strips that save real lives every year. He is an inspiration. He is what the world could be, what the people could be. The kid's suggestion is not that we compromise our hero, but our ideals, to be less then what they were. I don't think we should aim lower just because society has in some ways devolved. I think that's all the more reason to keep aiming high.
That's the thing though, MoS and BvS were building up to that Superman. In MoS, he never had the 12 years of learning Reeve did. He's doing things as a human would, because in his own mind he's still human. And that's what's inspiring about him, is that he in the end sacrifices himself as a human, for a society that hates him. I love Donner and Snyder for different reasons. Donner was the perfect Silver Age Superman, Snyder was the conflicted Post-Crisis Superman.
@@northwindkey yeah but you shouldn't need TWO SEQUELS to make a good representation of a character, because to me, bothe MoS AND BvS failed to portray an interesting character/superman, so it doesn't work as a superman movie and a film neither
"Actually, I really appreciated Kal's value for life being something he has to earn by being forced to take one. As a pantheon of American pop culture, Superman should evolve to reflect society for what it is not what we wish it was." R.I.P The dead people of Metropolis...
The Superman movies were incredibly inspiring to me as a kid. I could only realize how campy and weird they were just recently... and I gotta say: I would trade all the badass action in the world for an awe-inspiring John Williams theme anyday.
Ironic that script written by a pompous adult is being delivered by a child when Superman has always been a boy scout self insert intended for children. Kids don't have a Superman anymore. They have a broody Batman wannabe who's entire movies revolve lecturing people with the pretentious premise of "WHAT IF SUPERHEROES WERE REAL".
"Superman should represent society as it is, not as we'd like it to be." Um, NO. Superman is always our better. Superman is the goodness that we should all aspire to be. Superman isn't about 'society as it exists in the current state' Superman is about inspiring society, no matter what state it is in, to be better, to be more caring, more compassionate, more open minded, and more honest. Superman does not need to be updated, modernized, or contemporary. Superman just needs to be Superman.
You're missing the fact that acsuperman existing in a real world will get backlash and there's no way a guy can take all that for months and maybe years and still smile about it. That's just NOT HUMAN
Gonna have to disagree with your daughter on Superman killing. You shouldn't have to brutally kill a person to understand the concept of killing is bad. If not being able to figure out that killing isn't a nice thing to do by the time you're an adult reflects modern society at all then we should be utterly horrified. So uh.. Make sure there are no missing pets in the neighborhood.
@@trevorphilips9065 If you watch the Richard Donner cut of Superman II (the version of the story as it was originally conceived) Superman reverses time. This means that the deaths of Zod and his goons were only temporary.
@@nicholasperl So it's okay to kill as long as you rape time to fix it? No thanks. And I love Donner's Superman movies, I do. But not for being fun and campy and whatever revisionist term they use now. Superman 1 was quite serious and dark for the time, it updated characters into the 1978 world, and it created a great Silver Age interpretation. Man of Steel does the same only for a 2013 world and the Post-crisis version.

Even as a kid, i wondered exactly how is it that "not even with his great speed could Superman stop both missiles", then shortly he proceeds to make twenty laps per second around the earth.

No

This is my favorite Superman movie. I loved Christopher Reeve. He grew into a really wonderful actor.
Christopher Reeve will always be THE Superman!
yessssss
You bet!
Yeah Chris will always be my superman. I got the suoerman movie on my XBOX one. I saw how they did the movie in a documentary and they had to do a lot of work to get my dude to fly. Wow it was a complicated time for him and the cast but they made it successful. lol RIP C.Reeve
Gus Parkwood yup
Gus Parkwood, True Story...
Superman is supposed to be an ideal. The idea is to strive to better ourselves, to improve over time. We shouldn't simply accept the world as it is if we can work to make it a better place.
That's the point of a Super Hero, they're not supposed to accept the world how it is. Well...Super Heroes with ideals, like Superman or even Captain America.

Christopher Reeve, bless his soul, is the quintessential Superman. Simply the best.
He kills Zod in Superman II. Throwing him in an ice pit is OK but breaking his neck is not?
Also Zod was human when Superman crushed his hand and threw him into the abyss. Everyone's a hypocrite to say Batman and Superman don't kill. Even in Nolan's Batman he killed those men in the Mountains.
Richard Lester's theatrical release is the one that counts. So Richard Donner's cut is null and void.
No, they don't count. BvS was crappy with a few good scenes I liked. SS had issues but I could still enjoy for what it was. Any movie made by a committee of suits is a bad idea.
Deusirae79 actually Zod and his cronies are imprisoned in the after credits scene
It was less of the neck breaking for me as it was him virtually nuking the entire city. I was already angry about that when the neck breaking scene hit, so I was less likely to forgive it.

"As a pantheon of American pop culture, Superman should evolve to reflect society as it is, not what we wish it was"
That there defeats the entire premise of the character.
+VenomShock Superman is supposed to represent ideals, not pop culture. He's not Deadpool.
+VenomShock I agree. Still, if the character evolves to something different , that could be good, don't you agree? Superman as a character not aged well imo. His villains are not so compelling like the villains of Batman or Spiderman. The whole message of the boyscout is simply stupid at this point. Society changed a lot since the 40's. I don't think the take of the character in MoS was the right choice, but it is commendable how they at least tried to change and adapt the character. We still don't have a "fine tuned" Superman, this version of the character (MoS) will endure for the next 10 years or so. Pity, but we can't expect much from Snyder.
Rafael Teles I think he's aged fine, it's just nobody is willing to evolve him in a way that doesn't sacrifice the character's integrity. Superman in the animated series or Mark Waid's Birthright would be a perfect basis for a modern cinematic incarnation of the character. As someone aspiring to be a filmmaker, I too have had my own ideas about evolving the character.
Nobody has quite done a movie yet like Nolan was doing with Batman where the basis is challenging Superman's ideals. Also I don't think Spider-Man's villains are particularly good outside the movies. Memorable? Yes. Compelling? No.
*****
Well, if we consider only the movies, the portrayal of Doc Ock in Spiderman 2 was just perfect. Molina nailed the character, this is something that most people agree. Spiderman don't have a single "main" villain like the joker, magneto or luthor, the character has at least 3 signature villains. All of these 3 character, Ock, green goblin and Venom can be considered THE spiderman villain. No other mainstream character has this kind of leverage. Sure, they are not complex and multi layered like some Batman villains. Still, at least the character has an pantheon of good villains because he is flexible enough to sustain this, Spiderman is urbane. He is not fixed to a scenario (like Aquaman or the green lantern), his powers gives him advantages and disadvantages, his normal life is one of the most believable, etc It's the complete opposite of Superman.
For instance, even if the MoS had some good ideas, a slight change or mistake can jeopardize everything. For example, if the character at least tried to save people in the middle of the destruction, maybe the public reaction would be more forgivable. Same thing if he spared Zod, knocking him out instead of murder. But none of these things happened and people got crazy. Even if you has some good ideas, some comics tried to implement new ideas, etc.. The character is so naturally limited, he has such a fragile buble around him, that would be hard to make him interesting at this point. The "what if" stories of Superman are considered more interesting because they broke these limits. Red Son, Injustice, allstar superman, etc. If you maintain the signature of the character (boyscout to a point of naiveness, humble origin, forced patriotism, invulnerability, etc) its just hard to make him interesting. These aspects could be applied in the 40's, but now? Its just hard man.
+CvnDqnrU Oh,finally someone who said that
People love Batman because he represents humanity's potential to transcend its limitations. People love Superman because he represents the noble, heroic ideals that all of us aspire to. But neither of them can hold a candle to the real greatest comic book superhero of them all: Spider-Man.
Why? We've always needed heroes to aspire to, and we always will, but today, we also need to relate to them on some level. Keyword being "also." Spider-Man is the Ur-example of the rare breed of heroes who strikes that balance. He's not the fastest, strongest, toughest, or even the most intelligent superhero out there, but he is the most alive, the most real.

FTFY
Same dude, that's what I've been saying for years. Spider-Man is the best!
I both agree and disagree with you. XD
+h0m3st4r Wrong, recently Spiderman is the CEO of his own global company. He is a rich guy now selling tech to the whole world. Not only that, peter is a known scientist. so he is pretty smart.
In other words he is kinda tony stark now.
I am not kidding.
the only spider man I find relatable now, is miles morales spider man.
peter parker right now is just a discount tony stark
Can I say "thank you" for getting the fact that Superman is "time traveling," NOT spinning the Earth backwards! As far as stopping EVERYTHING from happening, I believe Superman was trying to minimize the amount of damage he did to the Time stream.
So when he goes to Lois earlier, is there now him plus his earlier self still fixing dams and bridges? Or when he rejoins the time stream, he just becomes/merges with his earlier self?
@@billc5378 I don't know. I have wondered that myself.

This is what writers can't seem to understand about Superman. He is what WE SHOULD be. A symbol hope, justice, and how things are supposed to be. Superman shouldn't conform to today's society standards. Superman takes the world as it should be, not as how it is. Superman is not Batman. And they shouldn't turn him into Batman.

4:54 someone's sleeping on the couch tonight
This movie doesn't have any fight scenes? No wonder it's the best Superman movie.
I hope you're joking
So, according to you a Superman movie shouldn't have fight scenes then?
@DejaVoodooDoll nope. A Superman is more than both of those things. And that's what he is in bvs. He fights , he saves, he gives people HOPE
4:39 One of the best arguments that defend Superman's action against Zod in Man of Steel. This was great!
I was Born in 2002, and Christopher Reeve Superman was the first time I was ever introduced to the Character and I Loved Superman even more when I saw Man Of Steel Opening day, its Really Hard to Choose my Favourite between these two.
I understand the point the kid made, but it sort of misses the point of Superman. Batman is the character who takes the worst of the generation and tries to do his best with those limits. Superman is the character, the fictional character mind you, who has a few pages of comic strips that save real lives every year. He is an inspiration. He is what the world could be, what the people could be.
The kid's suggestion is not that we compromise our hero, but our ideals, to be less then what they were. I don't think we should aim lower just because society has in some ways devolved. I think that's all the more reason to keep aiming high.
That's the thing though, MoS and BvS were building up to that Superman. In MoS, he never had the 12 years of learning Reeve did. He's doing things as a human would, because in his own mind he's still human. And that's what's inspiring about him, is that he in the end sacrifices himself as a human, for a society that hates him. I love Donner and Snyder for different reasons. Donner was the perfect Silver Age Superman, Snyder was the conflicted Post-Crisis Superman.
@@northwindkey yeah but you shouldn't need TWO SEQUELS to make a good representation of a character, because to me, bothe MoS AND BvS failed to portray an interesting character/superman, so it doesn't work as a superman movie and a film neither
Society never devolved; I'm still living a good life!
4:04 That kid just told him what's what! XD

The Superman movies were incredibly inspiring to me as a kid. I could only realize how campy and weird they were just recently... and I gotta say: I would trade all the badass action in the world for an awe-inspiring John Williams theme anyday.

Ironic that script written by a pompous adult is being delivered by a child when Superman has always been a boy scout self insert intended for children.
Kids don't have a Superman anymore. They have a broody Batman wannabe who's entire movies revolve lecturing people with the pretentious premise of "WHAT IF SUPERHEROES WERE REAL".
That bit at the end with the kid was brilliant
You want a reflection of who we are, watch Batman.
You want a demonstration of who we could be, watch Superman.
"Superman should represent society as it is, not as we'd like it to be."
Um, NO. Superman is always our better. Superman is the goodness that we should all aspire to be. Superman isn't about 'society as it exists in the current state' Superman is about inspiring society, no matter what state it is in, to be better, to be more caring, more compassionate, more open minded, and more honest. Superman does not need to be updated, modernized, or contemporary. Superman just needs to be Superman.
+Phantom9252 except the injustice superman he's ..............
+Phantom9252 Well said.
You're missing the fact that acsuperman existing in a real world will get backlash and there's no way a guy can take all that for months and maybe years and still smile about it. That's just NOT HUMAN
Gonna have to disagree with your daughter on Superman killing. You shouldn't have to brutally kill a person to understand the concept of killing is bad. If not being able to figure out that killing isn't a nice thing to do by the time you're an adult reflects modern society at all then we should be utterly horrified. So uh.. Make sure there are no missing pets in the neighborhood.
@@trevorphilips9065 If you watch the Richard Donner cut of Superman II (the version of the story as it was originally conceived) Superman reverses time. This means that the deaths of Zod and his goons were only temporary.
Perl Pictures no one cares about richard donner tbh
@@crystall.411 Anyone who's not a grim and gritty fanboy can at least respect Richard Donner's version of Superman.
@@nicholasperl So it's okay to kill as long as you rape time to fix it? No thanks. And I love Donner's Superman movies, I do. But not for being fun and campy and whatever revisionist term they use now. Superman 1 was quite serious and dark for the time, it updated characters into the 1978 world, and it created a great Silver Age interpretation. Man of Steel does the same only for a 2013 world and the Post-crisis version.
One of the best things about these films is Margot Kidder. She is the best Lois.
no argument there
Yeah I love the DCEU but for whatever reason Amy Adams' Lois just doesn't sit right with me.
