Superman The Movie (1978)

The OG! Reeves was made for this role. Stoked to watch the reaction!

Remember seeing this in jr high and loving it! The effects the music everything. It’s aged very well too I think. Richard Donner (fresh off the Omen) did a great job on this and one of Williams best scores… incidentally? Just realized this was the first time Brando and Trevor Howard were reunited onscreen some 10 years since they made MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY. Brandos escapades on that set are legendary and the two did not get along…

Though dated for sure, this movie was the first superhero movie in the Blockbuster movie age, so it is a milestone. Christopher Reeves and Gene Hackman both gave iconic performances, Margot Kidder, too. Though I suppose no one warned you about the longest credit sequence you have ever seen? Sorry 😂

John Williams seriously needs to chill with the God-tier music scores. Like seriously, dude needs to stop showing off what a genius he is! 😂

You probably know that Jackie Cooper was one of the Little Rascals? The burglar going up the wall reminded me of when Batman and Robin used to climb up building walls in the 60s TV series, except there were no cameos by stars in the Superman movie. My late wife and I went to the top of the World Trade Center in 1996. The Statue of Liberty is tiny from up there. They're both smitten! It kind of stretches the imagination that the glasses is are enough to keep Lois from knowing who he is. The goofy guy was Ned Beatty. He's been in tons of movies. Did you notice Larry Hagman as the Captain helping the lady at the car wreck? Speaking of his changing clothes while flying, if you haven't seen any of it, you should definitely check out The Greatest American Hero (from the 80s). Aliens bring a school teacher a suit that makes him like Superman. But he loses the instruction book, so he tries, but ends up flying in billboards, crashing, and all kinds of crazy things. You can find him on YouTube. The first episode would be the best one to start with. It explains the aliens, instruction book, etc. It stars William Katt (Barbara Hale's son. She was Perry Mason's secretary Della Street), and Robert Culp and Connie Sellecca. A few months ago I was at that place in the San Andreas fault. It's a really neat place called the Carizzo Plains. But I got there late and it got dark on me and dear old google maps had me driving down 4 wheeler paths to get out of there. It was white-knuckle driving for about 4 hours. Next time I'll go in the morning! Oh, by the way, the SA Fault could never generate more than an 8 in the worst instance because of the type of fault it is. Why are there always stupid people in movies, like the truck that drove into the exploding switchyard at the dam? I'm sure they did the best they could at the time, but the dam, town, rocks, water, etc., were just too fake. I guess Superman didn't get CPR classes. Superman goes back in time much easier than the Enterprise crew. Hackman played each role to the hilt. You could tell he put his all into his acting. I like the movie where's the bum, drunk, smoking Superman (Superman III). That was my costume one Halloween at the nightclub I used to own. A beer in one hand, a cigarette in the other, wearing a Superman costume. I'll try to put on on Discord. For a real kick, watch one of the Superman TV series from the 50s.

I’m pumped at how pumped you were watching this. Hackman aside, it’s just a good fun cheesy movie. After Vietnam and Watergate and so much turmoil in the U.S., the Patriotic nature of the character was a tonic. Rocky 3 and Superman 2 are now my most anticipated reactions from you. And whatever other Hackman you choose.

I’d like to make a note about Glenn Ford, Superman’s Earth Father Jonathan Kent. He’s been absent from the discussion and that’s to be expected of an actor of his caliber in the latter part of their career. But Glenn Ford was a massive star and box office draw in the 40’s and 50’s, and was spoken about then in the same way we make speak about Brad Pitt now when it comes to being a big star. He was in a lot of crime/noir thrillers, and westerns. Just to name a few he was the lead in The Blackboard Jungle, The Big Heat (which has been mentioned here in Noir polls and conversations), and second bill only to Rita Hayworth in Gilda. A funny story, he was lead in a 1956 western called The Fastest Gun Alive. In Hollywood at the time he was known as….the fastest gun in Hollywood. He could draw and fire a pistol in 0.4 seconds. There were other actors that you wouldn’t think of as fast draws, but apparently Sammy Davis Jr and Jerry Lewis won contests too. In a movie with Gene Hackman and Marlon Brando, it’s good to see him and remember the man. He passed in August 30th (my birthday) 2006 at 90 years old.

If you watch Superman 2, I really hope you watch the Theatrical Cut, not the so-called "Donner Cut." The Donner Cut creates more problems than it fixes, and it also eliminates some of the best scenes from the Theatrical Cut.

So happy you enjoyed this! This truly is one of the greatest Superhero movies ever made and I'll take any chance to watch it again. I hope you continue your Superman journey! My favorite comics to read growing up were Batman, X-Men and Superman to name a few. I would also read some of the big "Crossover" stories where I would learn more about the heroes I haven't read about.

I always liked Superman the most. Uplifting, lots of positivity. I need that.

Plenty of cheese in this one but it was fun watching it again with you Ames! I always thought Christopher Reeve made a great Superman! I loved the opening scene with Marlon Brando! It really captured my imagination when I saw it for the first time. Nice to see Glenn Ford as Jonathan Kent too! Not my favorite Gene Hackman performance by far, but I happened to notice a stuntman in the end credits named Richard Hackman. I thought the coincidence was too much so I looked him up. Sure enough, it was Gene's brother! John Williams was great, as usual! 🎶 Such an iconic score!

Now this is how you do Superman right. Christopher Reeve is Superman. Sometimes the right actor and the right role come together for absolute perfection. Screenwriters now complain how hard it's to write Superman. Well first I'd say there are some things called the comics that you might want to check out and second there is this little film from 1978 that you might want to check out too for how to do it right. Reeve really sells the difference between Clark Kent and Superman. There is different posture, voice, overall demeanour and the glasses too. Like Kent is always bumbling, clumsy, not very strong and mostly late to everything. Definitely my favorite live action Superman. The mirror scene in Lois' appartment is one of my favorites and really shows the work that Reeve put in to differentiate between Clark and Superman. Superman also has some great one-liners in this one. Gene Hackman is fantastic as Luthor and personally I love that his to minions aren't that bright. Really adds to the comedic aspect. Otis and his Mr. Luthor is just great. Margot Kidder really shines and the spelling errors really add to the charm. Kidder and Reeve are amazing together on screen. Glenn Ford may not have much time on screen, but he really makes a difference as one could expect from one of the greats. I always forget that Mario Puzo was a writer in this. John Williams with his iconic score and the Superman theme is just a fantastic final touch. Everytime I hear the theme I just get the urge to get to the Superman flying pose. It's amazing how well this film holds up after all these years. You still can believe that a man can fly. It's also a bit sad that after Reeve we haven't really had Superman in movies like he should be done.

Again late with my commentary. When this came out in 1978, I was 5 years old. And I remember being BLOWN AWAY as a kid seeing this in the theater. And, cheese aside, they made this for a younger audience. By today’s standards, of course it looks cheesy. But, in 1978??? The flying sequences alone absolutely had everyone spellbound. Nobody had imagined films could make those scenes look so good, at the time. One of the first of MANY terrific Richard Donner movies. He’ll never get the credit as a game changing director like some of his peers at the time, but he sure did make some entertaining movies in his lifetime. Cool facts from memory. This is certainly one of John Williams’s most iconic scores, in a 50+ year long legacy of iconic scores. When Richard Donner first heard that opening “Da du DAAAAAHHHN” theme that John Williams had written for the score, he was overjoyed. Donner evidently immediately praised Williams’s score, stating “You’re opening theme here literally sounds like the word ‘Superman’ with this score!” And Donner was absolutely correct. That musical melody/theme absolutely DOES sound like someone actually saying the word ‘Superman’! Just in a gloriously epic way! John Williams is such a treasure! 🥹 ❤️🥹❤️
