The best Superman film, yay!

It really is a miracle this film ended up coherent at all, let alone be this great, after the turmoil going on behind the scenes. It started out under the first film's director Richard Donner, but for reasons still pretty unclear the producers fired him partway through and replaced him with Richard Lester, a very fine director in his own right whose other work includes the Beatles films A Hard Day's Night and Help, the film version of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and the 1973 adaptation of The Three Musketeers. But as you might notice from that list, he was also much more a comedy director than Donner, and their styles clashed quite a bit (Lester's influence can probably be felt the most with the extended slapstick sequence of people getting blown around in the strong wind). Gene Hackman was also deeply offended by Donner's shoddy treatment and refused to work with Lester, forcing the editors to try to cobble together a story arc for Lex out of what he'd already filmed before Donner was fired. But somehow, it all came together in what's still held up by many as one of the all-time great comic book movies, a lot of them even saying it's better than the first film. Don't ask me how that happened, just be glad it did.

Once again, the villains steal the show, and I really love how much you love Gene Hackman, Ned Beatty, and Valerie Perrine's thoroughly delightful performances as Lex Luthor, Otis, and Miss Teschmacher. Speaking of Miss Teschmacher, what actually happened to her? After her and Lex were at the fortress of solitude, she just went the way of Chuck Cunningham; where the hell did she go?! I've always loved Terrence Stamp's fantastic performance as General Zod as well as Sarah Douglas as Ursa and Jack O'Halloran as Non. You had me laughing so hard with your commentary on the plotline of Superman losing his powers. The plotline as a whole, though still clunky, is better handled in the Richard Donner cut. I agree with you in that it would have been interesting to expand on the plotline, particularly in regards to does Lois love Superman or Clark and how would the relationship progress or deteriorate following Superman's decision to forsake his powers. As to the ending with the imbecilic mind erasing kiss, which good luck figuring out just how the hell it even works, is still one of the least popular parts of the film, and actually isn't even in the Donner cut which has a slightly different ending. All in all this was a great reaction and a lot of fun.

Yes, it is Cliff! And Harry Potter's uncle as one of the inexplicably English speaking French terrorists. And Cliff's colleague at 'planet Houston' is perennial resident American (well, Canadian actually) in British movies and TV, Shane Rimmer - who has been in practically everything in a sixty year long career. You've already met him at least twice, in Doctor Who (The Gunfighters) and James Bond (the Spy Who Loved Me).

great reaction! I would love you to react to the movie the conjuring 2 because it is excellent, in my opinion, it is one of the best horror movies that has been made since 2000, it is scary and has some emotional moments! In addition, the trailer for the conjuring 3 has just been released

I enjoyed watching your reaction to this - like the first one, I hadn't seen it for many, many years, since I was a child, so it was fun to experience it again with you. I was so pleased you were taken with the, "kind of heartwarming, kind of really stupid!" moment where the bystanders are so outraged that Superman has been "killed" that they attack the trio. It's a small moment but it really stuck with me as a child for some reason, so I was waiting to see what you'd think of it!
