A Masterpiece!

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It remains one of the most fascinating slices of my childhood. The fascination is the same. The same the emotion. And the believe than Christopher Reeves remains the best Superman. Sure, after decades, it could be seen as naive. But its freshness is yhe same. Like the noble moral message.

I rewatched this for the first time in many years, after the original release.The way Christopher Reeve is able to convey two separate characters is unsurpassed.Highly recommended.

In 2017 Warner Brothers released the much sought after International Television edition to fan approval. It sold more copies than expected (It was back ordered for weeks) and it is a must see for "SuperFans". This comic book movie is the best movie that set the standard for all comic book movies. However it is almost insulting. It is one of the best movies of the 1970's and should have been nominated for a slew of Academy Awards. Nobody in this film is miscast or gives a false performance.Now this 3 Hour Version is not my favorite version of the film but it is still great to see. Many scenes in this version or just really scene extensions. I can see why most of the scenes were cut! For example The opening Krypton destruction footage goes on far too long! However this film is still a treasure to see. It is nice to see it in the widescreen format instead of the 4x3 Pan Scan Video that I have had for years! This film holds up 40 years later and most of the effects work better because they are HANDMADE MINIATURES and look for authentic than CGI effects that pollute films of today!This film is all about "Superman". How he got to earth and how he saves the day. Powerful & fun film. Much better than all other comic book movies that have been produced since. In fact its miles above them all!

As many of you are aware there is several versions of this "Superman" film. This review is for the Longest Edition. This is called the RESTORED INTERNATIONAL CUT. I was not a huge "Superman" fan when I saw this film. I herd this was a good movie. I never seen a cartoon or television show on "Superman" so U had no idea who Lois Lane was. However I think that served me well. I was taken on an "E TICKET RIDE" that I never forgot. Even to this day this is still one of my favorite movie going experiences. In fact I loved this more than I did "Star Wars". Most of you know the story of "Superman". This film starts off with a bang however I am not a fan of the pro-longed opening credit sequence. To me that is still pretty to watch but it BORING. Thank god for the fast forward buttons.Academy Award-winners Marlon Brando and Gene Hackman head an all- star cast in the fantastic, action-packed film that made Christopher Reeve an international star playing the greatest superhero of all time. From the doomed planet of Krypton, two parents launch a spaceship carrying their infant son to earth. Here he grows up to become Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for the Metropolis Daily Planet. But with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men, he battles for truth and justice as Superman.Now the 3 hour Plus edition is worth watching however there is not much in the way of new scenes but more like SCENES BEING EXTENDED. The only NEW SCENE that comes to mind that should have been left in the original theatrical edition is when"Superman" talks to his father after he has revealed himself for the first time. It is a great scene and this is about the only SCENE that Richard Donner added back into the film for its DVD debut. I do however enjoy seeing the extension of Lois talking to the Indian Chief. It adds more information about why the Indians were selling their land. This film is still the best comic book movie ever made. Every film that has been based on a comic is compared to this 1978 Film. Nothing has come close to have the magic that this film captured. Richard Donner created a classic that still Under-appreciated. Today's comic book movies are garbage. They have no heart and are cast with the likes of Jessica Alba and other terrible actors. This is a first class production. The actors are all great in the roles they have. Can't say that about any "Batman" movies.
