Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past 50 or so years, you might have not heard of Superman. A creation of Detective Comics during the Depression. The beginning of the movie leads you to believe, that the movie takes place during the Depression, but actually is the time Krypton is about to be destroyed.<br/><br/>Marlon Brando wears a crazy white jumpsuit on the planet Krypton, which must have black lights everywhere, because he seems to glow (like the god he is).<br/><br/>He can't convince the "Guardians" (the leaders of Krypton) to abandon Krypton, despite his knowledge of a coming apocalypse. He promises that he and his wife will not leave, so he sends his newborn son to the stars.<br/><br/>OK, yeah, like mentioned above, everybody knows this story. What I can't stand is that SUPERMAN can fly around the world to turn back time. I know I should suspend my disbelief, but it's such a lousy ending for the movie. Can't he do something else, better to defeat Lex Luthor and save Lois Lane? And if he can fly fast enough to turn back time, why couldn't he just have caught both nuclear warheads?<br/><br/>Other than that, it's a pretty good interpretation of the Superman story, with Mario Puzoscreenwriter. I had just finished watching the Godfather films, so I thought it was hilarious to see Brando in action, for Puzo, again.<br/><br/>Goodnight.
"Superman: The Movie" is my favourite movie of all time. I grew up watching this film and it continues to entertain me no matter how many times I watch it.<br/><br/>The performances are excellent and Christopher Reeve is the true star of the movie, he IS Superman. Marlon Brando is fantastic,is Gene Hackmanthe villainous Lex Luthor. Ned Beatty is also a hootthe bumbling Otis; Margot Kidder is greatLois Lane; Glenn Ford is wonderfulPa Kent; heck, the whole cast is fantastic.<br/><br/>Richard Donner did a wonderful job with this movie, it was his heart and soul: it was his 'baby'. No-one else could have made this moviefantastiche did. It's a shame he was fired before he could finish making "Superman 2"both movies were filmed simultaneously.<br/><br/>One of my favourite bits about the film is the magnificent score by the legendary John Williams. The music is absolutely astounding, one of the most recognisable pieces of music to this day. Williams should have won an Oscar for the score, it's truly superb. Get the Rhino 2-disc CD if you ever see it, it's a fantastic soundtrack.<br/><br/>The special effects are also fantastic and many of the flying scenes are great. It is this film, and Christopher Reeve, who gave me the desire to be able to fly. You'll certainly believe a man can fly in this movie.<br/><br/>I have the DVD to this movie, which has been signed by Donner and Creative Consultant Tom Mankiewicz, and it's a great disc although I feel there should have been more material on it. The only way to truly watch "Superman: The Movie" is with the DVD, it does the film justice.<br/><br/>"Superman: The Movie" is a true classic and will always have a special place in my heart.
If not the best superhero movie ever, it's definitely in the top 3. Reeve will forever be Superman to most of us.
The movie Superman (1978) located the fictional U.S. town where the baby Kal-El was found and raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent in the state of Kansas. This tradition has carried through into subsequent Superman comic-book stories, animation, and television series. Earlier comics however placed Smallville in the north-eastern United States, somewhere near the eastern seaboard. Also, some comics-related sources in the 1970s and '80s placed Smallville in the state of Maryland. In the TV series Smallville, Smallville has been establishedbeing located in the state of Kansas and also close enough to Metropolis that on clear days, one can view it in the distance. Metropolis is a fictional port city located somewhere on the eastern seaboard of the U.S. Where exactly varies depending on the source. The four superman movies made in 1978, 1980, 1983, and 1987 staring Christopher Reeve, do not specify its location, but based on the existence of various real-life landmarks suchthe Statue of Liberty, it must be a stand-in for New York City. In the DC Universe, it is considered to be in New York State (which also is said to be geographically larger than its real-life counterpart). Some sources had previously placed Metropolis on the shore of Delaware Bay in the state of Delaware, across from Gotham City (from the Batman universe). However, this has been superseded by more recent continuity. In the latest Superman movie, Superman Returns, when Lex Luthor unveils his plan on a series of maps, Metropolis can be seen located on a Northeastern U.S. map exactly where New York City would be. (Also, on a side note, Long Island is not present at all.) In the TV series Smallville, Metropolis must be located either in Kansas, or close by in a neighboring state,the show has established that (1) Smallville is in Kansas and that (2) Metropolis can be seen from town on clear days in the distance. At this point in Clark Kent's life, he has not yet fully developed, super-power wise. He has varying degrees of some of his powers, while others not at all, including the ability to fly. That is why he runs super fast home, instead of simply flying. The effect was achieved by dangling the actor just above the ground with wires, and having a fast moving rig pull him across the intended path. In some shots, it was clearly blue-screened though. Once he turned back time, he then had the time to stop Lex Luthor's guided missles, and in effect, prevented the earthquakes, etc. The controversy surrounding the time-reversal theme of the movie has been a discussion point since the film came out. Most viewers see ita cheat, others see ita ridiculous way for Superman to save Lois. Either way, Richard Donner has commented very little on his choice to include it. We have to assume that, although he turned back time to a point before the dam really breaking through (as is clearly seen being reversed), he did not take it back further than that, to before the explosion (crucially, we do not see that being reversed). Presumably, he is only prepared to defy Jor-El's warnings to a certain extent, otherwise why not reverse the whole thing and save all those killed in the nuclear blast and quake, messing seriously with "Earth history"? So, he simply had a little bit more time, which he used to save Jimmy a bit earlier (it is clear that he still did so and deposited him on the road, because Jimmy says so when he arrives at the car at the end) and also to deal with the damaged dam, perhaps not needing to stop the deluge because this time he has enough time to repair the damage before it bursts completely. He also somehow prevents the crack that reaches Lois' car, though she has still experienced the quake/aftershocks and the exploding gas station (she saysmuch). And of course, Luthor's huge crime has still taken place and so he must go to jail and for trial. She asks him about this during their interview: "Is it true that you can see through anything?" He then states specifically that he can see through anything but lead (when she steps out from behind the lead plant box she has on her terrace, he says "pink", giving an answer to her question about what color underwear she'd had on). Lois is primed with a lot of questions, though we are not privyto how she knows to ask this one. Also, the printed article Lex Luthor et al. read the next day, "I spent the night with Superman", contains details about him that we do not see Lois and Superman discussing. So, we must simply assume that various rumors and facts had leaked out prior to the interview, during Superman's first few appearances, somehow (we do see him talking to Jor-El about his having been "showing off" and now being "revealed to the world") and a lot more putting the record straight must have taken place off-camera, while Lois is interviewing (flying with) Superman. In the original Superman comic book universe, it is safe to assume some, if not all, characters have trouble coming to this conclusion. In real life, although it is possible for a person to recognize Clark Kent, or Superman vice versa, there are numerous people who found they could conceal their identity from at least strangers with a single facial detail like Harold Lloyd (who was an inspiration for Clark Kent) with his glasses or Charlie Chaplin and Groucho Marx with their artificial mustaches. This was probably left out for plot reasons, and to allow a longer running series.<br/><br/>If the comic book series bordered too close to real life, with rational and smart characters, Superman would never have survived this long. His identity would have been deduced very early, and his closest friends and relatives would have been systematically killed. In the modern comics, the disguise has been supported by the fact that the public does not know that Superman have a secret identity since he does not wear a mask, suggesting he has nothing to hide. Furthermore, he has had the help of shapeshifters like the Martian Manhunter who have posedClark Kent with Superman in public appearances to make it seem obvious they are two separate people.<br/><br/>More than the glasses, the Clark Kent disguise consists of a completely different personality. Christopher Reeve was chosen, in part, because of his ability to play two completely different characters. Kal-el takes Jor-el's advice that his secret identity is absolutely necessary to heart and develops the Clark Kent persona in order to keep humans from over-relying on Superman and to protect those he loves. Clark Kent is a bumbling, "mild-mannered reporter", easily dismissed by Lois and everyone else; Superman is confident and charismatic with a witty sense of humor. Lois even considers the possibility that they are one and the same and then, considering Clark's personality, dismisses the notionridiculous. The skill of Reeve in portraying the identities is demonstrated in this film when Clark is tempted to confess in Lois' apartment; the sight of him simply taking off his glasses, straightening his back and speaking with unexpected timbre has a convincing effect of suggesting another person. In the year 2000, the Director's Cut of Superman was released. Most of the new material are smaller sequences with plot extensions, but there are two bigger sequences addedwell. The first one shows Superman in the Fortress of Solitude, talking to his father Jor-El about the advantage of his supernatural powers. The second one shows Luthor trying to stop Superman by the use of heavy arms, fire and ice. The 4-Disc Special Edition is a Must Have for each fan of this film because it's the only DVD release including the Director's Cut and the theatrical cutwell.
