Amazon.com essential video:
Richard Donner's 1978 epic about the Man of Steel showed how a film about a superhero could be a moving and romantic experience even for people who long ago gave up comic books. Beginning on the icy planet Krypton, the story follows the baby Kal-El, whose rocket ship lands in Smallville, Kansas. He is found there by a childless couple and raised as the shy Clark Kent (the young Kent is played by Jeff East). The film is perhaps most touching in these sequences, with expanses of wheat fields blowing in the wind and with a young man who can't figure out what part in destiny his great powers are meant to play. The second half, with Reeve taking over as Clark/Superman, is bustling, enchanting (the scene in which Superman flies girlfriend Lois Lane--played by Margot Kidder--through the night sky is great date material), and funny, thanks largely to Gene Hackman's sardonic portrayal of nemesis Lex Luthor. --Tom Keogh

Now, before I get to assessing the Blu ray version of "Superman - The Movie, I want to give my overall critique of the film itself.
Pardon me, it may take a while, lol:
I LOVE THIS MOVIE----With A Passion. Ive loved it every since I was that 6 yr old kid sitting in that dark movie theatre in late 1978 with my older brother, oohing and aweing at the images, amazed that I was seeing actors and filmmakers bringing one of my all-time favorite comic book superheroes to VIVID ...

You have seen the great video transfers done with the X-MEN dvds and Pirates of the Caribbean dvd's , right ? Well i have some bad news for you... You are not gonna find that quality in "Superman the movie" .!!

Superman how do I Love thee let me count the ways. Superman: The Movie I first saw this movie in the early 1980s and the other three Superman movies with Christopher D'Olier Reeve before I was 10 years old. Superman: The Movie is how I became to love Superman and to make him my favorite and number 1 SuperHero. This movie is good and sweet like Sugar, Honey and Pancake Syrup mix together. Four Stars because I like it and it is a must see. Rest in Peace Christopher D'Olier Reeve!

The original superhero movie of modern times. Spider- Man had one in the 70's but was a joke, period. Superman I is still one of the better superhero movies ever made although with Iron Man released, is no longer the best. Some would say Batman was better as well. Worth buying if you ask me.

Heck, this 1978 version of SUPERMAN was nostalgic even when it originally was released. Featuring the likes of Marlon Brando, Jackie Cooper, Trevor Howard, Glenn Ford, and Susannah York, the film instantly became a Who's Who of established screen heavyweights. And you can never, ever, go wrong with Gene Hackman as the villain; his Lex Luther character could very well be the best known--and best loved--bad guy in cinematic history.
Yet--despite its numerous cornball supreme moments that ... Read More
