Superman
1978 · 142 min.
Review
When Christopher Reeve was given the part of Superman, the caster really hit the mark, and poor Christopher hasn't been able to cast off his second identity of Superman ever since.
Superman is a long, but fun version of the cartoon. It deals with Superman's origins, his complicated relationship with Lois Lane and his fight against the badguy, Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman).
