You'll believe a man can fly. Even today. Superman was a film ahead of its time. There is a distinct lack of real action, which is made up for by great performances and a hard hitting story line. Despite some minor story issues and a thoroughly unlikable Margot Kidder. Superman is a terrific and colorful adventure which will stand the test of time for decades.

It hasn't aged kindly, it feels goofy and the effects are dated. Still, the performances make it worthwhile and its influence is felt to this day.

Donner and co practically invented the cinematic vocabulary for comic book films with Superman, especially for scenes where heroes demonstrate their powers, but unlike most of their successors they make it work because they believe in the material, and Reeves really was perfect in the role of the likeable adonis with super stength. It's.cheesy and dumb at times and perhaps overlong, but it has scope and an impressively uncluttered use of widescreen that modern directors could learn from.
