- Zokkiie14 april 2026It’s one of those films that still just works, even with how old it is. There’s a sincerity to it that modern superhero stuff doesn’t always capture, and it makes it surprisingly easy to get into. Reeves is absolutely perfect in the role—hands down the best Superman, no debate. Hackman gives a fun, charismatic Luthor too, not Rosenbaum level but still solid in his own way. Some of the effects are definitely dated, but they don’t really take away from the experience. If anything, it just feels more charming because of it. Really solid overall.
- theLillyPad19 april 2025Truth, Justice, and the American way--here is a movie that doesn't just understand its titular character, it has defined him for generations to come. Sure, it has a weak third act and a bit of a Dues ex Machina there at the end, but somehow, the beating heart of the film pumps louder than all its flaws. This is THE face of Superman. THE Superman theme. THE Superman movie.
- James Saenz9 juli 2025“would you like a glass of wine?” “no, thanks. i never drink when i fly.” it has so much sincerity running through its veins— from the halation and sweeping camera movements in the cinematography to the awe and wonder superman inspires in the common person to christopher reeve’s stunning performance, everything looks and feels so beautiful and full of life; donner’s able to make rural kansas look like a paradise and he really takes his time with the characters. we don’t get clark in his superman costume until nearly an hour in and that restraint really makes a difference. it’s also unabashedly horny (i’m looking at you, balcony scene) and i adore that. there’s plenty narratively that feels corny or like it’s verging on nonsensical (reversing the earth’s rotation to turn back time is just batshit crazy), but that doesn’t really matter when it’s made with so much love and care for the character of clark kent; it really set the blueprint for superhero blockbusters and it’s not often that they’re able to achieve this level of artistry or authenticity.
- M08Y5 augustus 2025While very clearly a product of it's time, there is an earnest optimism and general feeling of good will that shines through and keeps Superman feeling warm and fuzzy. I can't believe that it's taken me this long to sit down and watch Superman properly but it's clear to me now why people think that we will never quite recapture the Christopher Reeve magic... and maybe they are right. Reeve was quite clearly perfect for the role. The 4K bluray doesn't do much to justify it's own existence, but the more 4K blurays we get the better.
