I was about nine when my father took me to see it. Told him I hated it - “it was a stupid love story!” were my exact words. I still dislike it to this day. Was a big disappointment to a nine year old boy 2 years into comic books like the Hulk, Spiderman, Fantastic Four etc.

To this day I love John Williams’ score. One of his best ever!

An excellent example of how good a “superhero” movies can be.

These days, they’re garbage for the attention deficit disordered.

Superman - I Wonder - ABBA - from the first movie

That’s interesting. Hubby and I wanted to watch it, so I looked through our DVD collection, and lo and behold, there it was! We just finished watching it!

Great movie. The music is awesome. Thanks, John Williams!

Television would not be what it is today if Superman had not saved Lucy from certain death on the ledge of her apartment building.

I came across CBS this morning and Christopher Reeves’ son was interviewing the guy playing superman in the new movie. The interview was basically a commercial for the movie as the 2 of them were engaged in a sort of mutual admiration contest. I moved on.

The real Superman movie, you mean the one starring Kirk Alyn, or perhaps George Reeves? Just because your a young whippersnapper doesn’t mean you can ignore the previous Supermans.

And no offense to Christopher Reeves but he always struck me as a kind of prissy Superman.

How Fleischer Studios Created the Best Superman Ever

I agree. Fleischer Studios moved to Miami in 1938 so that might have affected the Art Deco look of their Superman cartoon series since Art Deco is prominent in Miami Beach architecture.
