    I do feel like a heathen. As a child I didn't know which Superman was which. I only knew I liked the one with Pryor in it the most. I haven't watched any of them in an age now but it's usually scenes from "the one with Pryor in" that come to mind when thinking of the Superman films.

    I love Superman the movie. It's become a bit of a period piece due to its age but retains all of its charm and magic.
    I sometimes like to dream about all of the potential sequels we might have had from Donner/Mankiewicz had the Salkinds not acted so irrationally.

    Much like Batman (1989) Superman (1978) is a movie of it's time. I absolutely love it. What most people nitpick about it, I find adds to it's charm. I totally get why people say this or Batman no longer hold up, but you have to understand the context of where the characters were at the time and how movies were made back then. Just like Batman, I love this movie for what it is and what both have done for the comic book movie genre.

TV version of Superman the movie I believe and the 2001 special edition.

    Still a great movie. Yes there are a few issues,like the whole flying can you read my mind thing,but it's still well done overall. It has an honest and open quality to it that's pretty refreshing today. Yes Man of Steel looks better but Chris Reeve is a better Superman. He really got what made Superman a role model and hero. It's hard not to be charmed by his performance. That along with the amazing music,the scene where he leaves his mother still brings a year to my eye,and Donner's ability to keep the whole thing together,help it to rise above the standard fantasy film. I'm going to watch the 4k blue ray soon with my 9 year old niece and see how it affects a new generation. She actually liked Tron so I think she'll like this.

The animated series I think is the definitive Superman that everything should be measured against, the early movies are just too dated for me to enjoy now.

    I always prefer Superman II over the original, even though the Niagara Falls scene was a bit daft, but not as daft as Lois pulling a gun on Clark Kent & shooting him in hopes of bluffing him in to revealing he’s superman.
    What was also daft about superman II was that he lost all his powers because he fell in love, not because he altered history.
    What I thought would’ve been better, was that Lois was on the verge of dying, he angrily flies her to the fortress of solitude, demands that the fortress to heal her, but the price for that would be that he would lose his powers.
    Which then would give the second story more time to concentrate on a powerless Clarke Kent, where he could easily be injured sending doubt in to Lois’ head about him being Superman, in come the 3 kryptonian villains to over take the world, superman defeats them in the end, giving Lex Luthor the perfect reason for America to turn against Superman, & all aliens with fear & propaganda as he runs for president.

      I have an early memory of Superman 2 and the Kryptonians messing up Metropolis. Scared the hell out of me, thinking superhumans who looked like normal people would come to Earth to mess with humans and the Army couldn't do a damn thing to stop them! It was a chilling thought for a young child, more so than if they'd been conventional monsters.

    I didn't like 1 or 2. Neither felt like a comic book movie. But I saw 3 when I was a kid and that shit? THAT was a fucking comic book movie. And Superman 3 is the only Superman property in any medium I give even the tiniest shit about. Aside from 3? I think I actually like Supergirl more than any of the other Superman films. Peter O'Toole was great in that. "Want a squirt?"
    And yeah I know 100% what you mean about that fuzzy quality to the shots.
    Will say this much, though; more peak John Williams. Every bit as good a score as Indy or SW.

  • @davidjames579
    @davidjames579 4 роки тому

    First off I love the feel of this movie, and how it introduced the comic book to cinema, plus John Williams score, but can I just put out there that I hate Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor and also fuckin Otis! The humour is atrocious. It's like a succession of Dad jokes. It kills the hard work put in on setting up mood, and any threat. Hackman is a marvelous actor, but he was miscast and mis-served by bad dialog and direction. For all it's verisimilitude, it's very much a children's film (in all ways).

    1. Chris Reeves perfect performance as Clark and Superman
    2. STILL the best intro to a Superhero of all time ‘You got me, who’s got you’
    3. The Score, that f#*king theme (All time best? Indian Jones, BTTF, Ghostbusters or Star Wars might disagree) Plus the first 60 seconds of ‘The Planet Krypton’ Jesus Christ!!!!!

    I think the last 15 years of Superhero movies has made S:TM look especially dated and of its time. Until the Nolan/MCU era kicked off I think this movie was holding up nicely. Nowadays people take the genre so seriously that they wouldn't accept a film with this tone and style.
    However there are wonderful elements, such as the performances, the score, the character writing. For a long time superhero movies were pretty weak, so Superman The Movie, along with Batman 89 were the standout examples. Anyway, let's hope we see a great Superman movie in the near future. I won't hold my breath though.
