Is some of the effects a bit dated by todays standards? Yes! Is the ending a little goofy? Yes!
But this really is a great movie, and an incredible achievement in terms of adapting a comic-book to the big screen. Not to mention John Williams' fantastic score and a charming performance by Christopher Reeve.
Definitely one of the best comic book-movies of all time in my opinion.
Love this classic adventure movie. Hadn't watched it in a couple of years, but still holds up. Great performances and a lot of fun. Only the ending i never liked......and still don't :-)
Watched it again with my 7 year old son. He loved it and a great movie to watch together!
It has a lot of plot problems and cheesy moments, but the beautiful cinematography, epic action and the fantastic performance of Christopher Reeve make up for it.
It's the one you remember was cool as a kid. It has aged very badly, with cheesy effects and some stupid plot about Superman losing his powers when he marries Lois Lane.
