Film Review - Superman (1978)


Superman, based off the DC comic, concerns the Krypton scientist Jor-El sending his only son to a distant planet as theirs is doomed to destruction, here the infant Kal-El later becomes Clark Kent and well, you know the rest.

I loved Superman, this whole film is just a delight to watch, from the music by John Williams to the late great Christopher Reeve in the title role, there’s a real style to this film that all ages can enjoy, despite the fact that Gene Hackman’s Lex Luthor is more of a clown rather than a genuine threat, something the next film wisely corrected and the film also runs a bit too long in the tooth to sustain itself.

But to round it all off, Superman is entertaining so it gets a 3 out of 5.
