As yet I have been unable to view this Film as it’s not for UK but only for the USA. I am disapointed that this was not pointed out to me before I purchased them.

I remember going to see this movie in 1978. You could feel the anticipation and excitement in the audience just before the first flying scene. You can believe a man can fly,but can you believe the illogical plot?Lex Luther(Gene Hackman)is going to create new beachfront property by separating California from the rest of the USA with nuclear weapons and Superman reverses time by reversing the rotation of the Earth(come again??). This movie has superb production values and good performances,but is let down by a ridiculous and campy plot and villian. If it had stuck to a serious plot,like Star Wars,it would have done much better. An over-rated film.

I have never watched a Superman movie or episode but Superman sounded kinda cool so I rented it. I was highly mortified by the extremely horrifying display on my television set. If only i could go back in time and tell the 2 hour ago me not to watch this terrible excuse for a movie.

Very bad film. They released Spiderman into the 21st century, why not Superman?I’ve always found him to be the most appealing comic book character. He is sure for an amazing performance. RELEASE HIM INTO OUR CENTURY!

Superman is great in this version (they tried to get him to act just like Christopher Reeves, and did a good job), but Ms. Lane is horrible. She is very beautiful, but lacks the personality of the Lane from the originals.
Everything about the story is solid and fun, except for the little love triangle between Superman, Lane, and her live-in boyfriend(?!) Her son was obvious from the start, but it was fun.
Besides the lack of personality in Ms. Lane, and the lame love-triangle, the show was very good. I recommend at least watching it to see Superman back in action.
