Honestly this is a mess and it's not that good aside from some excellent slapstick just after we see Kent join the daily planet. Couple of decent liners by supe. Luthor is okay in this. The poetry when Lois is flying is awful. Supe basically gaslights Lois too. The first 45 minutes are just cringe.

"Superman: The Movie" leans into its special effects, and in 1978 they carried the movie. With the advancement of special effects, this part of the film doesn't stand out, and all that's left is a good score with a weak story.

It isn't as much "dated" as it is indebted to the Golden Age of Comics storytelling--as evident in the Depression era opening. From there, Donner does an amazing job of adapting the tone of a funnybook into a motion picture. His approach obviously influenced Batman Begins--especially with the hero's upbringing & quest to inspire people. Still, the film loses a couple of points for a hokey poem section, and questionable science in the ending. But otherwise it is solid & groundbreaking cinema.

Top badass moment? 'That' theme tune; should be included with all alarm clocks. He's got the knowledge from dozens of worlds spanning 28 galaxies, yet he’s still a do-gooding show-off Batman can both out-think and out-cool. Then again, the height of fashion on Krypton is walking about with a big S on your chest; I grew out of that when I was 6. But it’s hard not to like him, as CR makes him sooo... nice. Hideously dated and not in a good way. 1 (ugly) cat, no chainsaws or decapitations.
