RIP, Christopher Reeve
Richard Donner
Ned Beatty
Margot Kidder.
They made us believe a man can fly.
Yup. People die, lol. (I don't know how much Ned Beatty had to do with the flying part, but...point taken, lol).
@@TTM9691 Ned Beatty was seriously psychologically damaged by his role in Deliverance. Although he finished the rape scene, it was a major bug in his brain for quite a while.
Margot Kidder died ?
Margot Kidder died at the age of 69. She suffered from Bipolar Disorder; I recall hearing that someone once found her hiding in some bushes with her clothes and hair in disarray.
The coroner ruled her death a suicide by means of drug and alcohol overdose.
RIP Margot Kidder
Marlon Brando.jor-el.
Christopher Reeve will always be THE Superman. Mad respect to Cavill who got short changed, but Reeve is timeless.
Cavill got to play Superman three times. Only one less than Reeve. And I'll bet Reeve wishes he didn't make the last two.
kids think it's antiquated and rather lame - Any relation to Michael Moore also posting in this thread ?
I don’t think Cavill necessarily got shortchanged. The Superman actor who got shortchanged, by a lot, was Brandon Routh.
Cavill > Reeve
@@rollastoney Reeve has way more charisma.
I saw this movie in theaters when I was 14 in 1978. I collected the comic books and couldn’t wait until it came out. There was a lot of press leading up to its release. Chris Reeve will always be the epitome of Superman. Fun fact: The older lady on the train is actress Noel Neal who played Lois Lane on the 1950s TV series The Adventures Of Superman. 😊

The filmmakers decided not to use CGI in any part of the film because it hadn't been invented yet.
that was a good call on their part
@@davewhitmore1958 One that Lucas and Spielberg should have learned from.
And thank God for that! 😆
That's not entirely true. The first movie to use CGI was in 1973, and it was called Westworld. Even though it was only used for 2 minutes, it opened up a whole new method of special effects. It was still early, and Superman was released only 5 years after, so CGI wasn't exactly a practical choice for effects by then.
@@jessea4438 You know, if you're going to be pedantic then I should be a little more pedantic. Vertigo (1958) used computer graphics in its opening credits. Just abstract shapes to be sure, but that was the actual first use of computer generated imagery in film.
Why is Christopher Reeves so iconic as Superman?
This is because he perfectly captures the character, both as Superman and as Clark Kent.
Every other actor after him is either a stronger Superman or a stronger Clark Kent but he perfectly nailed both.
If you read the comics from the golden ages (40's and 50's), you'll totally see them in Reeves excellent interpretation.
Reeve*
George Reeves = 50's TV Superman
Christopher Reeve = 70's/80's movie Superman
There was also a Steve Reeves who played Hercules in 50's B movies and my mom would always get mixed up and say Steve Reeve when she meant Christopher Reeve.
There's Keanu too, but he's pretty easy to keep straight.
i agree, the closest we have had to someoe play8ign bot ha great clark AND greaet superman in good fasion his the superman and lois guy Tyler
I always said same thing for Michael Keaton and Batman/Bruce Wayne. He was the perfect "both". Everyone after that was either good to great at one or the other - but not both.
@@Frostrazor
Totally agree.
Christopher Reeves will ALWAYS be SUPERMAN to me. No if’s ands or buts about it. 🌠
Never underestimate the power of John Williams!
Otherwise Jaws will come and eat you!! 👍
John Williams can basically make me cry on command with his Superman score. The sense of joy, optimism and hope it conveys is truly legendary. It IS Superman.
The girl on the train that Clark raced is young Lois Lane, and her mother was portrayed by Noel Neill, who played Lois in the '40s serial and the '50s TV series.
Wow - great nugget
@DarkTitan And Lois' dad is the aforementioned Kirk Alyn in cameo. (no speaking role) Had nice cameos of those two.
@@jasonkiefer1894 Actually, in the 3 hour version that aired on ABC, that scene was extended a little bit, where Lois's mother says that she certainly has a reporter's gift for exaggeration. Lois starts pouting, and Kirk Alyn tells her "Lois, read your book.”
This was the first superhero movie that was blessed with a huge budget. And the first one to be a box office hit! For its time(1978)? It was very exciting 😊

Christopher is the GOAT. There have been various incarnations since and only one comes close, and that was Brandon Routh, who modelled his characterisation on Chris's. Such a tragic fate lay in wait for him, but that's another story. Earthy Margot Kidder was the perfect foil as Lois, and Gene Hackman luxuriated in the role of Lex Luthor. Together they defined the modern superhero genre. Haven't visited in a while. Good to see you're still in good form, but Marvel and Bat features you can keep
I never watched any of the Superman movies after the original three with Christopher Reeve. But one day I was watching the Hallmark movie, "The Nine Kittens of Christmas" and saw Brandon Routh (who played fireman Zachary Stone). The first moment I saw him I said, "He'd make a great Superman", not knowing at the time that he already played Superman!
@@torydz Interesting, thanks. Nice to know I'm not the only one.
@@lifelover515 Nope. I don't believe that you're alone!
Well they're the same Superman/Clark in the same continuity, so ofc Brandon had to model his characterization on Christopher's Superman. When he played Kingdom Come Superman later, that one was also the same Superman.
If you're in you're 40s and 50s Christopher Reeve was your Superman and what an incredible and amazing Superman and human being Christopher Reeve was.
I'm so happy that you're going to see this incredible film for the first time, Kamilla!!! 😃 I was 16 when this was released. The previews were very vague. All they ever really gave us was the tagline "You will believe a man can fly" I was in the opening night audience, and the experience of this film was nothing short of magical!!! I can't wait to see your reactions to this!!! This was the very first serious superhero movie. Without this one, we'd never have the DCU or the MCU. I really hope you like this as much as I do, Kamilla. You are an extremely beautiful young lady, Kamilla, and I love your videos!!! Tons of love from Pennsylvania, USA!!! ❤️❤️❤️🥰🌹
I was amazed by it in the movie theater, too! (Funny thing, also in Pennsylvania !) 😁👍
As much as I do enjoy Man of Steel this film will always be the best introduction to Superman for people unaware of his origin and backstory. Man of Steel assumes you already know a good amount of Clarks origin so it skips alot of what you see in this film. It doesn't destroy you're viewing of Man of Steel but you will leave with alot of questions that are answered by watching Superman (1978) and it's sequel. I guess Man of Steel is similar Batman 1989 a film that assumes you already know the origins of Batman as in 1989 Batman's origin was pretty common knowledge. While Batman Begins is more friendly for people unaware of Batman as a character.
*Christopher Reeve Superman:*
Superman *1978*
Superman 2 *1980
Superman '78 *2022* - Comic Book Series se in the same same continuity with the likenesses of the actors.
Superman Returns *2006* - Set in the same continuity, Everyone is recast, Superman is played by Brandon Routh.
*DCEU Henry Cavill Superman:*
Man of Steel *2013*
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice *2016* - Yes they did a Batman v Superman movie after a single Superman film and without a solo Batman film....

"I feel like Martha is such a normal name of moms in all old movies."
Many names experience a peak in popularity in certain years and decades, so some names are much more common, often seeming typical, of a particular generation. According to the US Social Security Administration, it was most popular in the 1920s ranking 23rd of female given names. By the 1980s, it fell below 200th. Other charts on the internet show it was most popular during the 1800s, but during the 20th century, it peaked in popularity in 1938, the year Superman was first published.
This somehow makes the BvS Martha scene seem even stupider than before. "Martha!" "That's my mom's name too, best friends?" "Sure, but isn't everyone's mom named Martha?"
If you’re interested, there are other versions of this film.
In the early 1980’s, ABC broadcast an extended cut of Superman: The Movie. It was over three hours long; and they played it over two nights. That version, referred as the “Extended TV Cut”, came out in 2017.
In 2001, the director of Superman: The Movie; Richard Donner (RIP), released a Director’s Edition of the film for its initial DVD release. This version includes some of the footage from the extended TV cut.
28:31 The reason for the time travel (or turning the world back) was an insistence from the studio. This film was shot simultaneously with its accompanying sequel. The sequence was meant to be used in Part 2, but the studio was so impressed with that sequence, they wanted it used in Part 1.
Yeah, because she looked so riveted watching this one, lol. Hilarious.
Saw at the theater and he’ll always be Superman to me, Henry and Brandon are great but Christopher is it for me thanks!
Long before superhero movies today, we had this. I saw it 3 times in the cinema, its still magic. Casting Reeve was done because they wanted an unknown actor to be in the role, other big stars of the 70's, including Clint Eastwood, were considered but that would have meant audiences would identify with the star rather than his character. Reeve was just perfect, so was Kidder. RIP both of them, shame they've gone but with this movie, they're immortal.
BTW, 6.42 the couple on the train were Superman & Lois back in I think, the 50's.
You can't judge a 1978 movie without the time context. There were no "super hero movies" in that time.
Comic books were considered "just for kids". They have to convince the studio to invest without knowing it would return any profit.
They only invest because of Marlon Brandon name. Even after the big Super Man's success, another super heroe movie was made only after a decade... the first Batman.
Too bad they didn't leave it that way: "comic books are just for kids", because look what a pathetic state of cinema we've had ever since. Grown adults with the tastes of 12-year olds, it's the most embarrassing thing about our times, other than our penchant for murdering kids in classrooms, lol.
Your comments about movies and comic books at the time, I'm sure, are accurate, so I'm not trying to argue against your views on the climate of the times. But I've heard several people from my dad's generation use this argument of "It's not fair to compare movies from the [70's/80's/whatever] to modern movies" I understand why they make that argument and that for people who grew up with these movies, they're beloved classics. But it's also not a fair argument.
Again, I concede all your points. I'm just pointing out a fact that a lot of people who make this argument don't seem to consider. Preferences are subjective based on the person's thoughts and experiences. This is a beloved classic that you grew up with. It was important in your life for whatever reason. But to someone like me, who was born about 25 years after this movie was made, it is very dull, cheesy-looking, and outdated. At the time, I'm sure it was groundbreaking. But I have no emotional or nostalgic connection to it. Telling me I can't judge this movie against the movies I grew up with doesn't make sense. Because like Superman for you, the movies I grew up with are the beloved classics of MY life. Naturally, what I grew up with will have an effect on my tastes and opinions. And those tastes and opinions are going to be applied to the things I watch.
I will stress as many times as I need to that I'm not trying to argue that your opinions on the matter are invalid. They are perfectly valid and understandable. I just get frustrated that so many people have their own opinion on what is good and why, and then based on that opinion, view everyone who disagrees with them as wrong. Or worse, views them more harshly than that (such as Tic Toc Melody, above, who apparently views fans of modern movies as childish embarrassments, to paraphrase.) I mean, everyone feels the way they feel, but for my entire life, I've seen way too much of this "my opinion is right and everyone else is a complete moron who should be degraded and punished for daring to disagree" nonsense. You like the '78 Superman movie. I get that and I'm not going to hate you and insult you for it as a disturbingly large number of people might. But I do NOT like this movie (to clarify, I don't HATE it, I just don't find it particularly memorable or engaging) and it would be nice if people could refrain from hating and insulting me in return. You know?
TL;DR: I'm fairly certain that you judge many movies against the movies you grew up with and develop an opinion accordingly. Expecting me not to similarly judge what I watch against the movies I grew up with is an unfair double standard. But just because we disagree on whether or not this movie is good doesn't mean the other person is wrong or deserves to be insulted or looked down upon. It just means we judge the movie differently. And that's okay.
@@BubblyRainbows Bubbly, you're on point 100%, I'm saying the same exact thing to half of these people who are all butthurt because not everyone loves the movie they loved when they were a little kid. But leave ME out of your comment. I'm not talking modern movies, I'm talking FRANCHISE movies. Interesting that you can't differentiate. I'm embarrassed that people have lost their intellectual curiosity and accept rehash over and over again, while the people who make that crap LAUGH at them. THAT'S what's embarrassing. And, by the way....this movie is very much the start of all that! So when I see people my age whining about younger audiences while championing THIS movie....it's laughing time. (and I never begrudge a reactor for their reactions). EDIT: just happened to read my original comment. You misunderstood; I was talking about MY generation. Fully grown adults....ie; in the 50s and 60s...and they never left star wars land, and flying superheroes. Most of these people couldn't tell you anything about the world events of the 80s and 90s that they just lived through, but they know how to talk the hell out of a Star Wars conversation, right? lol.
I came in the movie all open minded, forgetting all other superman movies. At the end it's still not for me. I believe Superman will forever just be a character I love in comics, not in film 😭
@@Centane I understand you. I don't particularly like Superman as a character, which definitely doesn't help me to love Superman movies. Sometimes you just don't connect to a character. It happens. 😐
I remember watching this as kid,it was the best thing ever. It still is. 🙂
This is definitely my favorite super hero movie EVER !!! This is amazing, even was released more than 40 years ago
I saw this movie when it first came out. I was a freshman in high school. It blew my mind. I absolutely loved it. It’s still one of my favorite movies. I’ve watched it countless times over the years, and I’d happily sit down and watch it again.
Reeve is the only person who can successfully make superman and clark kent seem like two different people.
I personally think this film and Superman 2, are much more beautifully made than the Man of Steeel film, of recent year. These films were the 1st realistic big budget super hero films. That made you believe his super powers were real
This is my favorite Superman ever. ❤
You are watching this movie with the wrong glasses. This movie is not about a fictional universe of superheroes dealing with fictional extraterrestrial villains. It is not a Marvel style film. Not about a cartoonish superhero. This is a movie of a realistic universe being intervened by a fictional element (Superman) in catastrophic situations, that you know are lost, until the superhero saves the day. This was the first time in cinema that people watched a pessimistic scene (Lois Lane falling from the helicopter) being changed abruptly to an optimistic scene thanks to a superhero. The feeling you have watching something like this for the first time is incredible, because it is what you really asked to God itself to happens when you are watching something like that in real life.
For some reason (or maybe for this reason), Superman is hated by current Hollywood culture and there are no good movies of superman in this century. And when they make one, it is about an evil superman, a dying superman or a boring one. That's why you find Superman as the more boring superhero. That's done by purpose.
They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore…so darn brilliant
A spoof, at the time of it's release, in "Mad Magazine" had toddler "Clark" lifting the truck, then in the next frame, "Pa Kent" had toddler "Clark" pulling a plow at super speed.
Christopher Reeve WAS the ideal actor to play Superman. 6'4", he trained a lot to build up his muscles for the part, and he already had the superhero handsome looks. He was also a super nice guy, studied with Robin Williams who became his best friends. They were an odd couple, the tall, handsome Reeve and the kind of funny looking wildly talented Williams.
On May 27, 1995, Reeve broke his neck when he was thrown from a horse during an equestrian competition in Culpeper, Virginia. He landed head first, shattering his first and second vertebrae. In fact, he was basically decapitated; the only thing that kept his skull close to his body, was his skin. He had fusion surgery during which his skull was attached to his spine again, but with the first two vertebrae crushed, he remained paralyzed from the neck down for the rest of his life, depending on a ventilator to breathe for him. In early October 2004, he was being treated for an infected pressure ulcer that was causing sepsis, a complication he had experienced many times before.
On October 4, 2004, he spoke at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago on behalf of the institute's work; it was his last reported public appearance. On the night of October 9, 2004, Reeve went into cardiac arrest after receiving an antibiotic for the infection. He fell into a coma, and was taken to Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, New York. Eighteen hours later, on October 10, 2004, Reeve died at the age of 52. Such a sad ending of such a nice guy.
Wow what a surprise I can not wait for Centane to see a real Superman movie with the gold standard of Superman Christoper Reeve may he rest in peace. This movie is the first modern superhero movie the one that started the all modern super hero movie genre and Superman is my all time favorite super hero.
Too bad she didn’t like it. Similar reaction to Popcorn in Bed hating Batman 89. When you’re raised on modern superhero movies it is tougher to appreciate these older films in context. But I remember a lot of people hating the time travel in this movie. Too bad she won’t watch Superman II which is an even better film.
@@jdolan74 I don't think it is just modern movies vs older movies. I think you can split superhero movies people to two between people who like heroes like Superman, Captain America , Spiderman to people who like anti heroes like Batman , DareDevil, Punisher. It is like the difference between like Star Trek and Star Wars
@@jdolan74 Cassie wasn't too big on the whole aesthetic of Batman 89 so there's that as well kind of found it very weird and creepy. Nolan's Batman is very tame in comparison even to the comics so it's much harder for anyone who's introduction to Batman is the Nolan trilogy to get into anything Batman related that's more comic book feeling from villains like Clayface to the more gothic revival timeless depiction of Gotham City etc.
@@CaptainAmercia Yeah, I mean, the only Tim Burton movie I think Cassie liked was SLEEPY HOLLOW
R.I.P To A Great Actor Christopher Reeve, Still Miss You Always 😢
I don't know what the kid who played Superman as a baby got paid, but Marlon Brando got paid an insane amount for that little bit of screen time playing his father. I still get a laugh from the idea that if you reverse the Earth's rotation, you also reverse time.
In the begining of the movie when young Clark is running past the train, a little girl is watching him through binoculars. The Woman sitting next to that little girl is Noel Neill, she played the original Lois Lane in the superman movies of the 0940s-1950, as well as in the 1950s TV show. Jor El was played my Marlon Brando who was Don Corleone in "The Godfather"
The "original" screen version of Superman was a TV show. (Adventures of Superman) It played for 6 seasons (1952-1958). It ended 20 years before this movie. :O
It starred George Reeves ;)
Kirk Alyn predates George Reeves, and had a cameo in this movie on the train. He's young Lois' father.
@@jerryhickin9551 OMG! I forgot about Kirk Alyn (1948). Thanks
6:07 In school we studied where some names came from. and "Martha" comes from Hebrew, it means "the lady" so it is a great name for a mother
Best Superman of all time.
Glad to see you reacting to such an awesome movie. But some odd edits - no reaction to the first shot of him in the suit and him flying out of the fortress? No Air Force One save, no bus save? :(
There re some big Hollywood Stars from old days and new in 1978 that participated in this movie....Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford, Jackie Cooper, Ned Beatty, Gene Hackman, Margo Kidder, Valerie Perrine, and Kirk Alyn, who was an American actor, best known for being the first actor to play the DC Comics character Superman in live-action for the 1948 movie serial.
Looking forward to watching your reaction to this classic. Part 2 in that Superman saga is even better than the 1st. Please react to that one, as well. You are so gorgeous beyond belief. Hope you're enjoying your vacay!
No it isn't, LMFAO. Get some taste, holy mother of god.
@darktitan6308 Yeah, that's why they had to do a recut of the second one, lol. Even at 11, I thought the second one was lame, get some taste, manboy. They laugh at people like you, all the way to the bank.
Clark has a snappy, prose style. You have a snappy editing style.
I was born in Hackensack so yeah it was pretty terrifying some parts of this movie as a kid in the early 80s, But man I loved this Superman I had the bedsheets I had pillowcases I had the underwear and under shirt.. Have photos of me falling asleep upside down in full Superman get up as a little kid.. My parents were fascinated that I fell asleep upside down off the edge of the couch.. I'm not 100% sure if my parents took me to see this one or the second one I think both first one I was four years old maybe I'm still not 100% sure if I saw that one in theaters when it came out.. But I know for sure the second one because I remember it pretty well
You're too young to really get this one. But imagine way the hell back in 1978... this movie was revolutionary. And the golly gee tone was straight from his first run of comics back in the 50s. If you had never seen any modern movie before this, you would be more impressed.
I was a kid in the 90s, before Marvel... and I loved this movie. Every little boy wanted to be Superman.
LOL. That's right, condescend to the girl, lol.
@@TTM9691 ugh... really? You read my comment and took it as condescending? You need therapy. Now that's condescending... see the difference? Lighten up Melody, geez. 😘
@@nigelmcphearson "You're too young to get this one", yeah, dummy, that's condescending, especially to a reactor who has done other movies from the 70s and had no problem with them. This isn't "Carnal Knowledge" or a John Cassavettes movie, this is dopey "Superman", ok?
@@TTM9691 Probably because you people born late are more into CGI overload porn superhero shits like Capt Marvel of today.
16:23 Centane's dad is Superman??? 😱 Now I wanna see a picture 😂
Unbreakable, Split, Glass is a trilogy like no other
"Star Wars vibes" seems to be a common phrase used by the young kids today who watch this for the first time and it's certainly not a bad thing. It was the late 1970s when movies got fun again.
BEST Superman movie!
The DC Animated Universe (DCAU, also referred to as the Timmverse or Diniverse by fans) ranks very high on quality story telling.
Batman: The Animated Series (1992 - 1995)
Superman: The Animated Series (1996 - 2000)
The New Batman Adventures (1997 - 1999)
Justice League (2001 - 2004)
Justice League Unlimited (2004 - 2006)
Also some animated feature films
you have star wars vibes at the beginning because the composer of the movie theme is John William, which also made the score of star wars, e.t., indiana jones, jurassic park and other famous movies.
I have to mention that what you call basic is only basic because superhero and other types of movies have built tropes out of many things that this movie did first. Nearly every frame of this film has elements that had never been seen before.
People over 30s grown up with DC first and then Marvel. Grew to like both. People under 30 just know Marvel and don't know to respect what came first.
"You will travel far, my little Kal-El.
But I will never leave you. Even in the
face of my death the richness of my life
shall be yours. All that I have learned,
everything I feel, all of this and more
I have bequeathed to you my son. You
shall carry me inside you all your days.
You will make my strength your own, see
my life through your eyes, as your life
will be seen through mine. The son
becomes the father the father becomes
the son. This is all that I can send
with you, Kal-El. And not near so rich a
gift as that your mother sends along.
Her... love" still gets me every time
Ben Affleck, Adrian Brody "Hollywoodland", true story of how superman became part of pop culture, it is slow but interesting to see the story done in a film noir
My parents have the same name as his. My dad has also passed. But my mom Martha is the best mom anyone could ever want.
I love the music to Superman.
1:23 Well, the John Williams music, of course.
I think the greatest value in this movie is the snapshot it gives of the time it was made. It says a lot about the people, culture, and values of the time period.
It's not the glasses, girl, this is why Christopher Reeve was the best Superman, his speech changed, his demeanor, his way of walking. While he is Superman, he becomes a different character all together, the glasses help finish the overall, but they not all that changes Clark Kent into Superman.
These were the best Superman movies
'80 . Very different ppl and very different time. Very heartwarming and awesome.🤩
80? What are you talking about, "80"? This is a 70s movie. (and, by the way? the 80s sucked, especially the people! lol!)
it's not just the glasses. you saw how clark was acting: goofy, bumbling, uncorodinated, and meek. a good natured reporter who came from the sticks. no one would ever believe that he's a god among men. the same way no one would believe a dim-witted billionare playboy would dress like a bat and beat up criminals on a nightly basis.
"clark kent is who i am. superman is just what i can do."
There are two scenes in the second one that totally worth watching just to see them. You won't have any problem know them when you see them.
Always enjoy your reaction / reviews.
As we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe.
Amazing classic one of my favorites from my childhood Superman directed by Richard Donner starring Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Ned Beatty, Jackie Cooper, Marc McClure, Glenn Ford, Sarah Douglas, Jack O'haloran, Terence Stamp and the iconic music score by John Williams. The classic song of the film is "Can you Read my Mind" single by Maureen McGovern. Thank you lady great reaction next time Superman II, III, Supergirl (spin-off) and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace👍👍👍
(Wai till she puts together the fact that Bruce Wayne's mom was ALSO Martha (so was the Mother of our country) that "LL" are common initials in Superman and Action comics "Lex Luther, Lois Lane, and Lana Lang, etc)
It's wild there's a whole generation who don't know the Fortress of Solitude or names like Jor-El and General Zod as common knowledge.
"Can he go back in time? I didn't know he can do this" - neither did he!
Have you watched anything from the DC animated universe? Many of the shows/movies from there are excellent
Alot actually! I grew up watching so many different animated shows while reading the comics with my brothers ☺️🤍
This was the archetype movie that launched the modern Superhero films. I heard that Marvel has their people watch the film before each one of the studio’s movies are made.
That would make sense since they're all such formula garbage, lol.
Maureen McGovern recorded a pop version of Can You Read My Mind in the 1970's.
how embarrassing, lol
I remember watching this in the theater when I was five. The scene where Lois was getting buried alive was especially horrifying.
If you wonder why Superman is such a stubborn straight shooter, I recommend checking out Smallville in your free time. Tom Welling does a great job as Clark Kent and comes the closest to filling Reeves' boots. It all boils down to him having gone through a lot before even putting on the suit.
Was the "Oh Dam!" at 23:33 intentional? Because it mad me laugh. :) Christopher Reeve, was the OG Superman when I was a kid. Nice to see this getting some reactions. :) Batman's mom was Martha too. :)
Superman dont travel in time. He turns time back.
Nice reaction. The 70's sure was a diffrent time. Stealing kisses and slapping kids were not problematic but done for fun.
i love this movie
Superman is the greatest superhero.
I hope you watch superman II I liked it more than the first one.
This movie not only gave us the best Superman but also the greatest Lex Luthor
This was the first movie I ever saw at the cinema ☺️
How can the younger generations not watch the old movies,great movie, love the reactions👍😂✌️
Check my channel this isn't my first movie from the 70s ☺️
Reeve will always be "my' Superman. I truly mourned his passing. Henry Cavil was great, too though.
Superman was always my favorite super hero. This movie came out when I was a kid (like 8) and I was hooked on Superman ever since.
I don't care nearly as much for Marvel and especially less now with the direction it's taken with Disney as its owner.
Superman 1 and 2 are amazing. Can't wait until you watch "Superman 2. Superman 2 is my favorite movies ever. I have it on blu-ray. It's one of my favorite movies and no disrespect to "Henry as Superman. I like him as Superman,but "Christopher Reeves is the absolute best "Superman and he's my favorite superhero.
The power of John Williams.
Lmao! I just asked my sister two days ago if she had seen Godfather, she hasn't. Her health aide hasn't either. You haven't, but you're a youngin so you have an excuse😂, but you need to watch it asap, classic movie!
I love they show just how powerful this Superman is by the fact that he can reverse time. The Flash can manipulate time but not as fast as this Superman.
Best Supes movie of all time, yes better than Superman 2.
so she missed the "bloodletting" being a part of "An Ode to Spring"
In fairness, I'm pretty sure I have in the past as well
Man i forget what movies were like in the late seventies and eighties until something like the off scream slap happens and people react so vehemently.
BTW the warden was Alan Kirk the first man to play live action Superman even before George Revees.
Great Tidbit 👍
Yes,Marlon Brando as jor-el.played Don Corleone in"the godfather".
Fun Fact: The chest Luthor keeps the Kryptonite in is the EXACT same chest Obi-Wan kept Anakin’s lightsaber before he gave it to Luke.
Will seee this tomorrow, need to sleep, swedish time, going to work tomorrow 😁
PS: Even when I was 9, I was like...."are they just rehashing the Star Wars theme?" Lol. John Williams made a career out of rewriting that theme. He did "Close Encounters", which was a super iconic, amazingly original score. And then he just rehashed the "Star Wars" theme for "Superman", and Indiana Jones, lol. (It's all Mahler rip-off, not that 90% of the dopes who tell you he's the greatest film composer ever would know, lol)
Did anyone else get a commercial telling you how to poop better? Marlon Brando, shows up for 1 week, gets 7 million dollars. Chris Reeve was 6' 4", Henry Cavill 6' 1"
Metropolis is a stand-in for NYC, yes. Weirdly, Gotham (Batman's city) is also a stand-in for NYC, and in the same universe.
Jonathan Kent dying from a tornado in man of steel was dumb asf
OG superman would be george reeves not christopher reeve. but reeves was just a series. this was the first of the modern superhero movies
While the modern interpretation of Metropolis is that of a 'bright' New York... the original comic book Metropolis was modeled on Toronto, the city where the original artist and co-creator of the character was from. The Daily Planet was a play on the Toronto Daily Star.
Also, this is a far more consistent portrayal of the character with how he's appeared in the comics from the Silver age through current era. Not a knock on Cavil, but the modern take isn't all that much like the comic book version.
watch the first 3 seasons of smallville!!! very good superman stuff!!
Shoot. This was just in the theaters yesterday for the 45th anniversary. You could have done a theater reaction!
we don't have anniversaries in the theaters here in norway 😭
@@Centane Dangit, Odeon. Are you not getting Return of the Jedi soon either?
@@darfnader Haven't seen any cinema showings of it either yet :(
@@Centane Ah well. Glad you got to share it with us in either event. Thanks for the content!
Christopher Reeve is Kal-El on Krypton
Can’t wait to see you watch Superman 2.
You'll have to wait a very long time then 🤓
@@Centane 👌🏻
Agree on DC vs Marvel, particularly how much better developed the MCU is vs DC (Wonderwoman was really good), but Superman the motion picture 1978 is what all the others stand on. For sure it's corny as heck, and superman as a character is pretty unsophisticated compared to others, but again, he's among the first from the 1930's! Glad you watched it.
*FINALLY!!!*
*Superman ll* please 😎
You might want to at least try watching the first sequel. It’s far more exciting, as Superman has to fight three Kryptonian super villains.
