Here is my full reaction to Superman The Movie!

This is one of the best super hero movies I've ever seen! It's massively different from what super hero moves are today and that makes it a complete stand out. The chemistry between Superman and Louis Lane was extraordinary. Christofer Reeve nailed the physical comedy of Clark and also the unwavering confidence on Superman.

Watched on: HBO Max / Runtime: 2:23:12

Hope you enjoy!❤️

I totally don't remember that black-and-white comic book intro.

Robert Inman

Thanks Jax! There's something charming about the super hero presentation in this film that captured comic book feel rather than trying to be too realistic.

Robert Inman

BTW Jax, did you catch that General Zod's imprisonment scene was mocked by Grace when he was moving Rocky into the Hail Mary?

I haven’t watched this movie in a very long time so it was great to revisit it. This was really the movie that kicked off the whole superhero movie genre. I had forgotten how unmistakably biblical the beginning of the movie is, evoking John’s gospel in particular. Jor-El’s lines “the son becomes the father and the father becomes the son” and humans “only lack the light to show them the way” closely resemble the prelude, John 1:1-4, and Jor-El sending his only son to Earth to save humanity, “For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you... my only son" mirrors John 3:16. Those clear allusions must have been intentional. In fact, one of the movie's script doctor's, Tom Mankiewicz, has confirmed that they were. I found an interview where he said, "I tried to have Brando symbolize God in that long speech when he sends Clark down to Earth. ‘I have sent them you, my only son.’ If that’s not God sending Christ to Earth, it’s as close as you can get without offending the churchgoing public." This origin story is done so well and really reminds me of how much I dislike how the most recent Superman movie changes Jor-El’s motivations from altruistic to sinister. If you continue on this journey, I hope you will consider watching the Richard Donner cut of Superman II as opposed to the theatrical cut. It is the superior version of the movie!

Clark isn't Ma Kent's middle name, it's her maiden name. And if you want to get really meta, if you can find it, you should watch "Above Suspicion," a TV movie Christopher Reeve made with Joe Mantegna. I don't think it's too spoiler-y, but Reeve plays a paralyzed cop. How is that meta, you ask? Because, in the wildest irony of ironies, six days after it aired, Reeve suffered the horseback-riding accident that paralyzed him.

This movie is so wholesome. Its got everything: Action, comedy.......a globe. Superman 2 is just as good (it does have the same main cast) if not better IMO, after that 3 and 4 get pretty bad as they were rushed and poorly written. There are two versions of the second one, the theatrical and the Donner cut (directors cut) released in 2006 which is the better version IMO.

Hey Jax, great reaction as always. I've heard you talk about the HBO show The Veep, one of my favorite TV shows. In one of the episodes, there's a scene where the veep tells someone she's on the phone with that there's no way she won't be back in time for the meeting. Telling him that if she has to fly around the world backwards like Superman to turn back time, she'll be there. Idk if you remember the scene, but this is what she was obviously referring to. Superman 2 is definitely worthy of a viewing reaction. I really like Henry Cavill & I like David Cornsweat, but IMO Christopher Reeve will always be the PERFECT Superman, I saw it in the theatre the weekend it came out in 1978 with my mom & my aunt. I was 5yrs old & it is the best theatre memory I have. He's always been my favorite superhero. I love your channel & reactions

Also, reading minds isn't one of his superpowers

Superman (1978) was the first superheroes movie made for an adult audience not just for children, with a real budget (around 50+ millions). It opened doors for later movies like Batman (1989), Spider-Man (2002), X-Men (2000), Blade (1998)...

This is the Superman I grew up with, I was born the year it came out. For much of my childhood and young adulthood, this movie is what made me a huge fan of Superman. Then I discovered Green Lantern when I was reading comics and now Green Lantern is my favorite. Hoping th upcoming Lanterns show on HBO is good

Kristine Friling

Oh watching along with this reminds me, I have almost met Margot Kidder before she passed. She was such a wonderful lady!

Paulo

This is the Superman that I grew up with and it is my favorite the others are great but this holds a special place in my heart. The other super hero tv show that makes me feel like this movie it’s an anime called My Hero Academia, it’s really good and explores other aspects of of super heroes, also it’s super inspiring.

Ed Scoglio

I've liked just about every actor who has played Superman, but Christopher Reeve just IS Superman. He embodied all the qualities about him. He and Margot Kidder had great chemistry. Watching old superhero movies is kind of wild because there's no real formula so they kind of just do whatever and make it work. One issue I do have with these original 4 movies though is that I feel like they never stick the landing when it comes to the ending. They either wrap up too easy or they fall flat. Lois dying is such a crazy moment and then he flies so fast that he reverses time?! As a kid, I could brush it off, but now, it just isn't something I can wrap my head around. And what's especially weird that he he didn't at least stop the missiles from taking off at all. He ONLY prevents Lois from dying. The missile still hits, the earthquake still happens, the destruction still takes place! Also, Lex's plan doesn't make sense. The San Andreas fault doesn't work that way. The two plates are moving parallel to each other, it's called a slip-strike fault. One plate is moving north/northwest and the other south/southeast. Even a massive quake won't make the plates separate and make enough space for one side to sink into the water. What will happen in millions of years is that California will be next to Alaska. Even if the plates were colliding, since they are both continental plates, they still wouldn't separate, they could create a mountain range, that is how the Himalayas were formed.

It's sad knowing that much of the main cast are gone now. Superman's actor, Luthor's, Lois's, Zod's and Jor el's. My hat is off to all of them
