It's also great fun being able to see the likes of Brando, Glenn Ford and Jackie Cooper in their parts. Margot Kidder is also extremely fun in the role of the love interest and there's no question that Hackman brings a lot of smiles as Luthor. The actor was simply born to play this part as he perfectly nails not only to nerdy Kent but he's also believable as the superhero. Another strong thing this film has going for it are the performances with Reeve leading the way in the title role. There's also the incredibly tense ending, which contains one great sequence after another but the dam is clearly the highlight. One such example is the first sequence when we see Superman for the first time. I think the film's greatest moments are when Superman is in action. The first forty-five minutes pretty much deals with Superman's father (Marlon Brando) and the fall of his planet, which is something else that a lot of movies wouldn't have bothered with or at least wouldn't have spent so much time on. I think a lot of credit also has to be given to the bravery of keeping Superman pretty much hidden for well over a hour. A lot of credit has to go to director Richard Donner who really does a remarkable job at bringing all of this together. This film pretty much delivers everything from romance to adventure to action to some rather funny moments as well. It's easy to see why so many comic book fans consider this one of the strongest adaptations out there. Superman (1978) *** (out of 4) One of the best comic book adaptations has Christopher Reeve playing an alien orphan who finds himself on Earth working as a nerdy reporter under the name Clark Kent but his true calling is that of Superman who finds himself going up against Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman).
