Editorial Reviews
Nowadays moviegoers don't raise an eyebrow when Hollywood announces the imminent arrival of a big-budget, blockbusting action film based on a comic strip. But back in 1978 -- before Batman, Spawn, and X-Men -- director Richard Donner took the cinema world by storm, ducking into a phone booth a mild-manned moviemaker, and emerging an industry darling, with what would become the mother of all superhero epics. Superman: The Movie set standards for comic book adventures to follow. It's star, newcomer Christopher Reeve, was jaw-droppingly handsome -- not to mention the spitting image of the original pen-and-ink incarnation. The plot was basic -- alien baby escapes doomed home planet, arrives on Earth, is adopted by midwestern farmers, develops superpowers, and becomes a crime-fighting "Man of Steel" -- and true to the original. Equally important, since such movies must compete with powerful, preconceptions, the special effects defined the cutting-edge of their day. This was arguably the first film of the modern era in which the flying didn't look hokey and faked -- nearly delivering on the marketing tag of "You will believe a man can fly." To ensure the film's success, Donner assembled a letter-perfect cast of costars, including Gene Hackman as the deliciously wicked Lex Luthor, Margot Kidder as sassy Daily Planet reporter and Mrs. Superman wannabe Lois Lane; and Marlon Brando, in his much ballyhooed, million-dollar return to the screen, as the caped hero's dad. Few superhero flicks before or since have come anywhere near this film's creative punch. Bruce Kluger, Barnes & Noble
