    The #1 Heroic Movie of All Time

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 11, 2003 | 2 out of 2 found this Superman (1978) review helpful

    If you haven't seen Superman I, then you haven't wittnessed the most beloved heroic tale in the US either. For everyone that's had a loved on in battle, for everyone that romantically dreams of their hero, Christopher Reeve's real per...sonality comes out as he portrays the ultimate SuperHero, Superman! MUST SEE! Read more Less

    Irish Fan

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 21, 2001 | 1 out of 1 found this Superman (1978) review helpful

    I was seven years old when I first saw Superman: the Movie. It blew away, even moreso than Star Wars. I was absolutely flabbergasted by this, the most magical three hours of my childhood. It was an epic of all proportions ... brilliant characters, dr...ama, effects, photography, story, romance, music, etc ... I even remember going to bed that first night and being unable to sleep because my mind had gone into overdrive, thinking about the movie I had just seen. And then, I think I spent the following two years on an hourly basis humming the tune, wearing the custume and/or basing Superman stories around my lego collection.What I found particularly entrancing about the film was it's original ending. Lois actually dies!!! How is our hero going to get out of this one?? He kisses her pale corpse, whimpers, hears the distant crackle of thunder, gives a Titan's roar and bolts towards the skies. Then he reverses time by flying around the world, defying his father's orders. Brilliant!!!Some trivia: Interestingly, I first saw it on RTE 1, which is an Irish T.V channel. And apparently they were the first ever channel to play the full-lenght version. Read more Less

    NOSTALGIA PURA!!!

    SUPERMAN - O FILME dá saudades da época em que Hollywood conseguia encantar sem enganar o espectador.

    Cyberthug's Last Word

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 6, 2001 | 1 out of 1 found this Superman (1978) review helpful

    The classic first movie. A true epic. Then again, you should expect that when Mario(the Godfather Trilogy) Puzo is writing the story. The visual effects are outstanding. You almost believe that a man can fly. Excellent casting especially with Christo...pher Reeve as Superman and Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor giving us his campy best. A film for all generations.

    What a great DVD. A must for any collection. Just turn on your surround sound to appreciate the John Williams score.

    SUPER DVD!!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 12, 2001 | 1 out of 1 found this Superman (1978) review helpful

    You put in the DVD, dim the lights and press play on the rmote control. The opening sequence starts and the curtains part to reveal the issue of Action Comics with the voice over from the boy, the camera pans, John Williams music lightly playing, the... camera tilts to the clobe with the Daily planet banner on it and the camera arcs toward the moon and the music kicks in. "Bum bum", "bumta da bum bum" and that when something begins to stir inside of you, this is diffrent... The name ALEXANDER SALKIND comes racing at you in bright blue colors and a sound you never heard before swims around your ears, a whoosing sound, deeper and much richer than you have ever remembered it. This IS diffrent. It is immediately clear to you that a lot of care and love went into the transfer of this film onto DVD, and after you view this disc in its entirety Superman will never be the same again!Eight extra minutes, three documentries, screen tests, deleted scenes, this has it all! A great DVD that exploits everything that makes DVD a superior format. Bright colors, blacker blacks, whiter whites, clear crisp image, sound that makes you melt all over! Wonderful! This is truly a DVD to own. Read more Less

    The DVD is Great the movie is Very Good

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 3, 2001 | 1 out of 1 found this Superman (1978) review helpful

    If you are a DVD fan and a fan of Superman, this is a must buy. I give 2 thumbs up for those who worked on the film transfer to DVD. I have never seen the movie look and sound so good. The Extras are fantastic. I loved the screen tests for the di...fferent roles in the movie. Even the 1st set of menus are 3D and makes you want to watch the movie. Read more Less

    Superman The Movie(s)

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 17, 2001 | 1 out of 1 found this Superman (1978) review helpful

    Of course considering the progression of computerized animations and effects as we speak and live as of today; having to go back in time and see this movie and the other sequels, tells us how imperfect and primitive it was those days. But come to thi...nk of it, (even 20 years later) . . . they had done better then than now as most movies of the same backdrop now a days spend millions and billions of dollars for great animated/computerized movies but have almost senseless plots and even abrupt endings that would tell us: "I paid just to see that?! There must be more to it? Perhaps a sequel will come out and satisfy my curiousity, maybe...just maybe." That's where the business is now in the Film Industry! Make an expensive movie that would thrill everyone and mesmerize them with special effects. Little do many know that such movies of today have no souls . . . just balls!Hence, I would say Superman, the movie and the later sequels were great classics. An imaginary character but with a soul that would make us think: "What if there really was...a Superman?"Michael S. Bolañoswww.BolanosEnterp
