I was going to say I watched the TV show as a kid. So when Christopher Reeves brought it to big screen, it wasn’t a really big deal to me. It was kind of funny to see how they updated the times, no closet phone booths. But the movie was just ok. I guess for me it had to compete with Star Wars, which was an impossible task.
In retrospect, I have to say I like it better than any of the Superman remakes since. Hollywood seems to think they have to recycle things and make them darker or have some shock value, like Superman has a super kid or some woke side.
Hollywood ruined the latest Star Trek movies with the young James Kirk the same way, changing all the time times, openly gay crew members, and destroying the TOS story rather than finding ways to fill in the time gaps to the original series.
ATORY NOT CGI!
“It was kind of funny to see how they updated the times, no closet phone booths.”
The TV Clark never used a phone booth. He was always using the store room at the Daily Planet. I liked that show when I was a kid. It’s a little outdated now but still better than the modern stuff.
Jimmy Olsen: “They robbed the entire Daliy Planet payroll!”
Lois Lane: “Why that’s almost ten thousand dollars!”
