I knew I was going to have fun with this, but I wasn't prepared for how much I was going to love it! Such a great introduction to Superman and I can't wait to dive more of his stories!!

This one and the most recent one are my favorite Superman movies.

I would suggest watching the sequel to this movie (Superman 2) before you watch anymore of Superman's story. It's a direct continuation of this one, almost feels like the same movie, and things from it are often referenced in other later material. Glad you enjoyed this one so much! Can't wait to watch it later!

The tagline for this movie was “You will believe a man can fly”, and at the time it blew our minds. I’m glad that you finally got to experience it.

Watching reactors swoon over Christopher's Superman is maybe the best homage to his memory I can think of. These are always fun to watch.

Look! Up over on LiteWeight Reacting…it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s the OG Superman!! And in my eyes, the one true Clark Kent/Kal-El…Christopher Reeve. Despite the many iterations of Superman on TV and on the big screen, before and after this 1978 classic, this is my Superman. Christopher Reeve’s charm will never be topped IMO. Oh…and it also happens to have one of the most iconic opening themes in movie history, courtesy of the amazing John Williams. I do hope you watch Superman II before you watch any other Superman movies. As someone mentioned earlier, there are characters and scenes from Superman II that are referenced in later movies. You can skip Superman III and IV which were a huge drop off from the first two movies. I liked Superman Returns (2006) a lot, which was a direct continuation of Superman II, and Man of Steel (2013) is also very good…Henry Cavill is my 2nd favorite Superman behind Christopher Reeve. I haven’t seen the 2025 version of Superman yet…and I’m not sure if I want to. Although it’s gotten a lot of praise, I think my interest in the Superman story ended with Man of Steel.

These are the Superman movies I grew up watching on VHS tapes. When I hear Superman, I picture the Christopher Reeve Superman. I'm glad you can still appreciate it even though it is a bit aged now.

Superman (1978) and Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut (1980/2006) are 2 of the greatest superhero films ever made, and Christopher Reeve will always be the one and only Real Superman in my mind. All others are just play acting. Richard Donner shot Superman and its sequel simultaneously. They are just one big film, split into 2 parts. Due to studio interference and a falling out with the Salkinds, who wanted the film to be more light-hearted, Richard Donner was fired before completing Superman II, and replaced by Richard Lester. However, Richard Donner had already shot most of the sequel, only minus a few key scenes. Lester and the Salkinds decided to reshoot a large portion of the film, and only use some of Donner’s footage… which included all of Gene Hackman’s parts, because he refused to return for reshoots. Other actors refused to return or just weren’t asked, and a portion of the film was rewritten in order to exclude these characters, making the Theatrical Superman II seem odd and disconnected from the first. In the mid 2000s, a petition was submitted to Warner Bros. to have them release Richard Donner’s footage so that it could be edited into his version of the film, which was the original intent way back in 1977 when they made the first. In 2006, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut was released, and anyone (or most at this point) that has seen both, would agree that The Richard Donner Cut is the Superior Cut. It’s an almost perfect film. What holds it back a tad, is that some scenes Richard Donner was never able to film, and the editors had to get creative. Even so, with these issues, The Richard Donner Cut is leaps and bounds better than the Theatrical.

Happy to see you react to the Best Superman movie and best Clark Kent/Kal-El- Superman that is Christopher Reeve. Hope you do watch Superman II. I am looking forward to your reaction to the new movie. I have mix reaction, some things I like and some I hated. I do think it is much better then Man of Steel, which I hated lol.

Kryptonite is deadly to Superman, due to the fact that it is pieces of his home planet, and due to the explosion of his planet the pieces of his planet have become radioactive. it also prevents Superman from absorbing the solar energy from our yellow sun, which gives Superman his strength and powers. Which then can lead to the death of a Kryptonian by a form of "radiation poisoning".

Christopher Reeve is the GOAT as far as Superman is concerned. Obviously, the special effects are a bit janky. But, for 1978 it was the best they could do. Other than that my only criticism is the Lois Lane poem. Oh, and the Donner Cut is the best version of the film, in my opinion. One more thing that I wanted to add: He says in the film, "I fight for truth, justice, and the American Way." Hollywood of today refuses to allow Superman to utter the words, American Way. They would claim that it's because it's not inclusive enough for foreign audiences. The truth is that it offends their own sensibilities. It's a perfect example of why films today so often fail to connect with audiences. We live in two parallel realities.

My partner made me ask this next question, so here it goes, I am so sorry... So how are your parents, Ken and Barbie?

Theo

Agreed, on all accounts

Robert da Spruce

Fun reaction Teagan! The film still holds up pretty well! My only gripe is the turning back time by rotating the earth backwards. That whole part always seemed a little ridiculous to me IDK I do love Christopher’s portrayal of Superman. Especially of his alter ego, Clark Kent I hope you eventually swing back to Superman II one day

scott osborne

scott osborne

i love your reaction to superman louis never looks clark in the eyes like she did with superman

George Roybal

The 3 modern Superman versions are all good for certain reasons. Not anyone characterization it the best imo. Reeves version although campy was perfect for that time. Cavell's versions is more dark and a lot less more bad ass. Not many if any Reeves smiles. The 2025 versions is more comic book realistic. This is coming from someone who grew up in time when Comics were our entertainment.

SplinterTME

There is a fan theory that explains this well. Superman didn't reverse the rotation of the Earth (that would be catastrophic) but actually broke the speed of light. Because things that travel faster then light travel backwards in time (again in theory), it just looked like the Earth was reversing.

Superman is also weak to Magic , you do get more of DC lore stuff in the animated films & shows then the live actions have shown. Like you would love Young Justice or the Justice league show. Christopher Reeve just gave the essence of being Superman he is who Superman is supposed to be as a character no matter how strong he is he just wants to help & be a good person. He was raised so right . I enjoy all the iterations of Superman but Reeve just nails the tone of him as a person

Michael

Great reaction I’ve been watching your YouTube channel for years but decided I join your patreon.Krypton is pronounced as you and everyone else pronounced it , Marlon Brando pronounced it Kryptin because nobody is going to correct him . Lois’s lungs were filled with dirt that’s why resuscitation wouldn’t help . If you plan to watch Superman 2 I would recommend the Richard Donner cut

Larry Tolman

Just subscribed; never participated in something like this; why is the Movie Video 100% blurry? Cannot make out anything :( {will try tomorrow and maybe a reply from someone that can help; thank you}

Todd Anderson

Lex cannot believe Clark Kent is superman either

Tim Heron

The blurring is necessary due to copyright restrictions; you'll need your own copy of the movie (either on DVD or a streaming service where it's available), and she'll play the first minute or two unblurred so you can synchronize the video. If Teagan wants more Christopher Reeve, I'd recommend "Deathtrap" with Michael Caine. It was his attempt to use his acting chops for more than just playing Superman. And if you want to get really meta, if you can find it, I'd also suggest "Above Suspicion", a TV movie he did with Joe Mantegna. Ironically, Reeve played a paraplegic police detective; why is that ironic, you ask? Because six days after it aired, he suffered the horseback-riding accident that paralyzed him.
