Superman (1978) Reaction - Google Drive

Comments

Ryan

The first two Superman movies were actually designed as a two part story, like the producers had done with The Three Musketeers a few years earlier. Unfortunately, some major behind the scenes issues meant that didn't quite work out, but they're both still great classic superhero films.

"Where does he put the clothes!?" - he's Superman - accept it :-) I really enjoyed this. Apart from the tedious and overly serious first 40 mins, it's great fun - and - unlike sooo many modern versions of Superman and Batman - doesn't take itself at all seriously. Reeves deft comic touch and aptitude for physical comedy is an absolutely godsend when he's playing Kent - and helps sells the conceit that he's able to disguise himself with not much more than a pair of spectacles. This is such a movie of it's time though - I'd not noticed the endless beginning credits - I thought that had already died out by 1978. But I did notice some of the product placement - which I wasn't aware was a thing this early on outside of Bond's cars and watches.

Oh, and even when I was eight or nine and saw this the first time, i thought the idea of reversing time by making the earth spin backwards was stupid beyond believe.

If you're thinking of watching the others, Superman II was shot back-to-back with this and is excellent. Superman 3 has a few good moments, but is pretty poor and seems ot mostly be a Richard Pryor vehicle. Superman IV is a horror show though - and isn't worth anyone's time.

Speaking of the music in this film this soundtrack was the first record I ever owned except for maybe ones that went with a read along story book. I was very young.

This was a real treat. I hadn't seen this movie for a few years now so it was very nice to revisit the film and the memories that come with it, and to see your reaction to it was quite a delight. John Williams is my favorite film composer and his Superman theme is definitely one of his best, seeing you kind of dance to it really made me smile. Christopher Reeve is still for me and a lot of other fans the best Superman that ever was or ever will be. Though the portrayal may not be the most accurate to the comics, Gene Hackman's performance as Lex Luthor is so thoroughly enjoyable as is Ned Beatty as Otis and Valerie Perrine as Miss Teschmacher and all three of them are the highlight of the film. I knew you would love Miss Teschmacher, she was created for the film but has been implemented into the comics. I really like that she's now your favorite DC character. The poem scene was originally supposed to be song but it simply didn't work out and I guess they liked the idea enough they kept it in, hence the somewhat random scene. This whole week has been very exhausting and had me kind of down in the dumps. Seeing this really improved my mood considerably, I thank you for that. I highly recommend Superman II, I'd say see Superman III only if you're really wanting to see it as it does have some good moments despite not being anywhere near as good as the first two. As for Superman IV...you can skip Superman IV.

I don't usually get to watch your movie reactions, as I'm not much of a film viewer so I haven't normally seen the films. However, this was a film I loved as a child so I was very happy to watch it again along with your reaction. It was the first time I'd seen it for many years! It was great fun watching it with you. One thing I'd forgotten is just how long it is before Reeve finally appears, which surprised me to see. I must admit, when you saw the cast some up at the end, I did wonder whether or not we'd get a little "Oh!" of recognition for William Russell (Ian Chesterton) in the prime role of "8th Elder"! Anyway, thank you very much for this - I very much enjoyed it!

Oh, and I meant to add - if anyone like me was having problems getting a version to sync up and you're in the UK, I found downloading a Chrome video speed changer plug-in and playing the Amazon Prime Video version at 0.96 speed worked best for me.

Christopher Reeve, one of my heroes growing up, always brings back great memories watching this. Gene Hackman is outstanding as well.
