Pros: Best Superhero Adaptation yet...Reeve IS Superman! Great DVD EXTRAS!!! Cons: Ned Beatty
I just got this for my birthday this week, and let me say, it's been worth the agonizing wait I've been enduring; anticipating this DVD release of "Superman" has fueled my days and nights for several months, and it finally showed up.
Pros: Christopher Reeve is outstanding, special effects were top notch Cons: The whole turn-back-the-Earth trick still bugs me
There is a moment in the movie when Clark Kent looks around trying to find a place to change into Superman. As he rushes around the streets of Metropolis, he comes across a telephone booth and pauses. A bewildered look crosses his face as he realizes ...
Pros: Great cast in a very entertaining superhero movie. Cons: Few corny things.
Over the years, several different comic book characters have become very popular. In recent years, several movies based on comic books have been released and I've seen most of them at least once. Some have been very good and others have been giant ...
Pros: Christopher Reeve; fun and lively script; Williams' amazing score Cons: Need for Superman's full biography can make adventure in second half feel rushed
My husband and I recently decided to rent the newest Superman feature film, Superman Returns. I was wondering out loud how it would stack up to 1978's Superman: The Movie, starring Christopher Reeve. When my husband casually mentioned that ...
Pros: Wonderful presentation of the Special Edition; fine performances, taut directing, great score. Cons: Warner Bros. loves those cardboard DVD slipcovers. I don't.
Considering the proliferation of films based on comic book heroes (and anti-heroes) in recent years, it's hard to recall that this 1978 adaptation of the Superman comic strip and icon of Americana was a monumental gamble for the producers, the ...
Pros: Christopher Reeve's star making performance. Lots of DVD extras. Cons: Uneven tone. Some cheesy special effects.
Joseph, my manager, called this morning. The producers of the musical remake of Airport '75 have decided to go with Linda Granger for the role of the stewardess. I'm never one to wish ill fortune on a colleague but I do hope they keep the Nyquil...
Pros: All-star cast, superb effects, great story. Cons: Luthor wearing a wig.
Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Superman!. Those famous words may not have been written for the 1978 screen...
Pros: Excellent beginning story of Superman Cons: Older Movie which has been played on television too often with edits & commercials
Years upon years ago, when I heard there was going to be a live screen adaptation of the cartoon script character, Superman, I have to admit that I was a bit leery about the quality of the film. However, since the first time I saw Superman on the big...
Pros: Fifteen words won't cut it... Cons: I could do with more trailers on the DVD, but that's simply nitpicking.
Comic book characters have recently enjoyed a renaissance on the big screen. Witness the huge grosses of Spider-Man ($400 million in the U.S.) and the X-Men films ($375 million between the two), with likely more to come. Spidey 2 is scheduled to hit ...
Pros: great effects for the day, Reeves Superman is the best Cons: Lex Luthor is a bit to much of a cheeseball villian
I got Superman the movie on DVD several years ago when I found it for 5 bucks. No what child of the 80’s and 90’s hasn’t seen the 1978 Superman the movie has a kid. It is still a comic book classic even if a few of it’s things haven’t held up over the ...
Pros: Hours of entertainment in addition to the movie, itself Cons: None
I was relaxing around my house back in early 2001 watching television when a commercial appeared on the screen promoting the upcoming Superman: The Movie onto dvd. "It's about time," I thought, mentally noting the dvd's release date and looking ...
Pros: Cheerily outsized adaptation of the comic book; as an added bonus, the form-fitted Valerie Perrine Cons: Takes a while to get going to the really fun stuff
Despite its big-budget special effects, Superman the Movie (1978) comes from a simpler time, ...
Pros: Strong focus on character, landmark special effects, good storyline Cons: Somewhat awkward for 21st century, fails to be as serious as more recent films
A generation of American kids like me grew up on comic books and Saturday morning cartoon shows. Inevitably, many of us were drawn toward the iconic Superman, the cleanest, least angst-ridden superhero of the 1970s reinvention era. Comic book leaders ...
Pros: A mere fifteen words won't cover it. Cons: Some of the "extra footage" should have been left out of the new "director's cut"
“This is no fantasy, no wild flight of fancy,” a booming voice informs us as we emerge from the opening credits sequence of the movie Superman. The speaker is Jor-El (Marlon Brando), member of the Krypton High Council, and this proclamation is...
Pros: Superman has quality drama and quality action scenes. The FX are still quite good. Cons: I honestly can't think of any. This movie is that good!
I first saw the original Superman about 28 years ago. It totally blew me away. I loved it. Now I saw it again for the first time in a long time and IMHO it's still a trip. To recap; Jarel and his wife are scientists living on the ...
