Irish Fan
1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this 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, drama, 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. ...
