Had to wait a little while after the recent Superman to get any bias out of the way but I do see it through with this one as far as setting somewhat of a standard of that comic book movie feeling
Also that’s two movies in a row with Gene Hackman simply getting the job done I’ll try to keep that streak going

Such a strange movie. So traditional and straight forward for so long and then suddenly makes no sense. He just knew to throw the glowing green rod randomly into the ice and that's where the Fortress emerges? He gets the monologue and then now he's got a new haircut and outfit? Okay, sure. Then it oscillates between earnest rescues, flirtatious innuendo, and slapstick goofball hour with our villain. And somehow it all fits together...kind of. Not sure what it's saying by having him reverse time other than I guess he really likes Lois. Feels held together by John Williams' score, some adorable miniatures, and Reeve who really sells it. Could've been a real disaster otherwise.

But the craziest thing in the whole movie is that Christopher Reeve (who plays the titular Superman) is billed THIRD. What's that about?

Cliff Clavin jumpscare.

Great superhero flick, but superman is a victim of SA in this. If he can, anyone can. Be safe.

Much more enjoyable and well made then I thought. The character of Superman is implemented great through Christopher Reeves and the great script put together. It’s so fun to see this movie AFTER the newer Superman itterations to find the source of the inspiration. Had a ton of fun with this one and have very little negatives that aren’t the fault of it being made in the 70’s.
