Richard Donner's 1978 film version of the Man of Steel is a cinematic marvel, even if it sometimes feels a little corny or outdated.

Superman (1978 film) still remains as the best Superman movie ever made. The visual effects may be dated today, but I still find some scenes visually impressive and it uses the CGI very well. Christopher Reeve is fantastic as Superman, because he made the character his own while respecting the source material to the character. Oh and let's not forget about John Williams amazing score.

A great blend of super hero action and some character study/depth. Gene Hackman plays a properly unhinged Lex Luther and Christopher Reeve is still the most stately and heroic Superman to date. Plus, that theme song...

Still the best Superman film. It's got the right mix of everything and most of all it's entertaining... even to this day.

CHRISTOPHER REEVES IS SUPERMAN. He was probably the main reason why the whole movie was such a success. Don't get me wrong, but I believe GENE HACKMAN did remarkably well too. But please give me a break and do something about the plot here guys. He does not have Jesus' abilities. Jesus never jumped over a building or temple with a single bounce. As a matter of fact, he never blew over a tornado or a storm. All he did was speak the word. And it came to be. And oh, his title was the CHRIST (Grk KRISTOS "Anointed One"), not CHRISTOPHER.. Just get your facts straight.

When I was a kid, I absolutely loved this movie! I rented it about a million times.

The original (film) man of steel can never, in my opinion, be topped. Christopher Reeve is brilliantly cast as the hero, and though the plot may be somewhat lackluster, this is pretty much the granddaddy of every superhero film to follow.

It's too bad that this has not held up well over time. The two things it has going for it is the music and Reeves as Superman. The way the story is told is not done well, and Lois is quite annoying.
