Premise
The original Superman movie.
Who should watch
Comic book fans. Action fans.
Thoughts
Cheesier than I recalled. People complained about the physics in 'Superman Returns', but they forgotten how silly this version was. Nevertheless, I prefer the original because of its charm and Chris Reeve.
The reason to watch this is Christopher Reeve's performance. He was perfect as clumsy, yet charming Clark Kent. Gene Hackman's performance is interesting has he make Lex Luthor a likeable goofball with incompetent thugs.
Dialogue was cheesy, but they and had more spunk than 'Superman Returns'. The Krypton scenes could've been cut down for pacing, but would you dare to cut out Marlon Brando?
I also liked the set designs for Krypton, very interesting and artsy.
What I would change
Used something less ridiculous than Superman flying backwards to turn back time.
