An alien orphan is sent from his dying planet to Earth, where he grows up to become his adoptive home's first and greatest superhero.
Just before the destruction of the planet Krypton, scientist Jor-El sends his infant son Kal-El on a spaceship to Earth. Raised by kindly farmers Jonathan and Martha Kent, young Clark discovers the source of his superhuman powers and moves to Metropolis to fight evil. As Superman, he battles the villainous Lex Luthor, while, as novice reporter Clark Kent, he attempts to woo co-worker Lois Lane
This film still holds up very well after almost 25 years.
I recently had the chance to see the new theatrical cut at a local electric pleasure palace (The Ohio Theatre) and the the film was as good as I remembered it. Seeing a film in a theatre is a very different experience from seeing it on television or some video medium.
It's been about ten years since I saw the film theatrically and I still get the same vibe. The first half of the film (up through when Superman flies out of the fortress of solitude) is incredible and probably ranks as some of the best filmwork ever, particular Richard Donner's work as director and Geoffrey Unsworth's camera work. Some of John Williams' best music is in the first half of the film. Many people remember his main title theme, but "Death of Pa Kent" and "Leaving Home" are far better examples of what Williams is capable of.
Beginning with the introduction to Metropolis, the film takes a right turn into Mugville. I still enjoy the second half of the film, but it markedly different in tone from the first half. One has to wonder what the film would have been like if the film had stayed on the serious path of the first half. It's only for the oddness of the second half that I don't give this film a 10.
This is one you should definitely in a theatre with a large screen.
Its being quite some time since I wanted to watch the original 'Superman' movie, which at the time of its release, in 1978, was regarded the best superhero movie- I can perfectly understand why.
Everyone knows the story of 'Superman' in which a young alien boy is sent to Earth just before his home planet is destroyed by his parents. In Earth, Clark begins to figure out his mysterious power which he decides to use for the good of his city.
First of all, I'll start off with what I love about this movie and that is the first 45 minutes of the movie which deals with the origin of Clark Kent back in his home planet, to his arrival on Earth, to being adopted to the point where he witnesses his "father" die and to the point where he leaves his mother. This is to me, the highlight of the movie and here's why: This here is where I was emotionally connected with the film the most. The acting here was definitely the best. Despite such minor performance, and such little screen time, Marlon Brando is easily the star of the movie in his 15 minute role as Jor-El. However, the supporting cast do a great job mainly Gene Hackman and Christopher Reve. Margot Kidder as Loius was at times, not very effective and a little laughable but is forgotten by great acting from the supporting cast.
It is fair to say the dialogue is cheesy, the effects are heavily outdated, especially such environments which look like they've been drawn. I mean the original 'Star Wars' aged far better and it contains more visuals. The action type sequences in the movie are no longer that impressive but the biggest issue with the movie is, its rushed conclusion as it spends a good deal of just under one hour before the plot begins to move away from Clark's origin.
Another thing I find laughable is how Loius actually finds out that Clark is Superman. I mean, its a little strange that no other person who has stayed with Clark for a certain time period couldn't figure it out. As a character, I didn't enjoy her much.
Apart from Brando's amazing portrayal...as expected, the second in highlight for this movie is John Williams' amazing musical score which propelled the movie forward in its extremely long 5 minute opening credits sequence. This sequence did not bore me due to the amazing score.
'Superman' is a classic superhero tale that was revolutionary for its time and loved back then...and even still now...but there is no denying that the effects in this movie, despite coming out an year after the original 'Star Wars' are far more outdated and poor to look at. Its rushed final conclusion and outdated effects make this movie a little more difficult to love for me.
The film is best when it takes itself seriously, worst when it takes the easy way out into giggly camp--as it does, finally and fatally, when Lex Luthor enters the action; Gene Hackman plays the arch-villain like a hairdresser left over from a TV skit.
The movie Superman (1978) located the fictional U.S. town where the baby Kal-El was found and raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent in the state of Kansas. This tradition has carried through into subsequent Superman comic-book stories, animation, and television series. Earlier comics however placed Smallville in the north-eastern United States, somewhere near the eastern seaboard. Also, some comics-related sources in the 1970s and '80s placed Smallville in the state of Maryland. In the TV series Smallville, Smallville has been established as being located in the state of Kansas and also close enough to Metropolis that on clear days, one can view it in the distance. Metropolis is a fictional port city located somewhere on the eastern seaboard of the U.S. Where exactly varies depending on the source. The four superman movies made in 1978, 1980, 1983, and 1987 staring Christopher Reeve, do not specify its location, but based on the existence of various real-life landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, it must be a stand-in for New York City. In the DC Universe, it is considered to be in New York State (which also is said to be geographically larger than its real-life counterpart). Some sources had previously placed Metropolis on the shore of Delaware Bay in the state of Delaware, across from Gotham City (from the Batman universe). However, this has been superseded by more recent continuity. In the latest Superman movie, Superman Returns, when Lex Luthor unveils his plan on a series of maps, Metropolis can be seen located on a Northeastern U.S. map exactly where New York City would be. (Also, on a side note, Long Island is not present at all.) In the TV series Smallville, Metropolis must be located either in Kansas, or close by in a neighboring state, as the show has established that (1) Smallville is in Kansas and that (2) Metropolis can be seen from town on clear days in the distance. At this point in Clark Kent's life, he has not yet fully developed, super-power wise. He has varying degrees of some of his powers, while others not at all, including the ability to fly. That is why he runs super fast home, instead of simply flying. The effect was achieved by dangling the actor just above the ground with wires, and having a fast moving rig pull him across the intended path. In some shots, it was clearly blue-screened though. Once he turned back time, he then had the time to stop Lex Luthor's guided missles, and in effect, prevented the earthquakes, etc. The controversy surrounding the time-reversal theme of the movie has been a discussion point since the film came out. Most viewers see it as a cheat, others see it as a ridiculous way for Superman to save Lois. Either way, Richard Donner has commented very little on his choice to include it. We have to assume that, although he turned back time to a point before the dam really breaking through (as is clearly seen being reversed), he did not take it back further than that, to before the explosion (crucially, we do not see that being reversed). Presumably, he is only prepared to defy Jor-El's warnings to a certain extent, otherwise why not reverse the whole thing and save all those killed in the nuclear blast and quake, messing seriously with "Earth history"? So, he simply had a little bit more time, which he used to save Jimmy a bit earlier (it is clear that he still did so and deposited him on the road, because Jimmy says so when he arrives at the car at the end) and also to deal with the damaged dam, perhaps not needing to stop the deluge because this time he has enough time to repair the damage before it bursts completely. He also somehow prevents the crack that reaches Lois' car, though she has still experienced the quake/aftershocks and the exploding gas station (she says as much). And of course, Luthor's huge crime has still taken place and so he must go to jail and for trial. She asks him about this during their interview: "Is it true that you can see through anything?" He then states specifically that he can see through anything but lead (when she steps out from behind the lead plant box she has on her terrace, he says "pink", giving an answer to her question about what color underwear she'd had on). Lois is primed with a lot of questions, though we are not privy as to how she knows to ask this one. Also, the printed article Lex Luthor et al. read the next day, "I spent the night with Superman", contains details about him that we do not see Lois and Superman discussing. So, we must simply assume that various rumors and facts had leaked out prior to the interview, during Superman's first few appearances, somehow (we do see him talking to Jor-El about his having been "showing off" and now being "revealed to the world") and a lot more putting the record straight must have taken place off-camera, while Lois is interviewing (flying with) Superman. In the original Superman comic book universe, it is safe to assume some, if not all, characters have trouble coming to this conclusion. In real life, although it is possible for a person to recognize Clark Kent, or Superman vice versa, there are numerous people who found they could conceal their identity from at least strangers with a single facial detail like Harold Lloyd (who was an inspiration for Clark Kent) with his glasses or Charlie Chaplin and Groucho Marx with their artificial mustaches. This was probably left out for plot reasons, and to allow a longer running series.
If the comic book series bordered too close to real life, with rational and smart characters, Superman would never have survived this long. His identity would have been deduced very early, and his closest friends and relatives would have been systematically killed. In the modern comics, the disguise has been supported by the fact that the public does not know that Superman have a secret identity since he does not wear a mask, suggesting he has nothing to hide. Furthermore, he has had the help of shapeshifters like the Martian Manhunter who have posed as Clark Kent with Superman in public appearances to make it seem obvious they are two separate people.
More than the glasses, the Clark Kent disguise consists of a completely different personality. Christopher Reeve was chosen, in part, because of his ability to play two completely different characters. Kal-el takes Jor-el's advice that his secret identity is absolutely necessary to heart and develops the Clark Kent persona in order to keep humans from over-relying on Superman and to protect those he loves. Clark Kent is a bumbling, "mild-mannered reporter", easily dismissed by Lois and everyone else; Superman is confident and charismatic with a witty sense of humor. Lois even considers the possibility that they are one and the same and then, considering Clark's personality, dismisses the notion as ridiculous. The skill of Reeve in portraying the identities is demonstrated in this film when Clark is tempted to confess in Lois' apartment; the sight of him simply taking off his glasses, straightening his back and speaking with unexpected timbre has a convincing effect of suggesting another person. In the year 2000, the Director's Cut of Superman was released. Most of the new material are smaller sequences with plot extensions, but there are two bigger sequences added as well. The first one shows Superman in the Fortress of Solitude, talking to his father Jor-El about the advantage of his supernatural powers. The second one shows Luthor trying to stop Superman by the use of heavy arms, fire and ice. The 4-Disc Special Edition is a Must Have for each fan of this film because it's the only DVD release including the Director's Cut and the theatrical cut as well. a5c7b9f00b
