Also the actors were good and didn't rely on cgi . Op is based and redpilled. Superman 1978 is the only superhero movie that's an actual Great Film.
Owen Sullivan
10/10 Casting, great script, wonderfully paced and structured, ambiguous setting that makes it feel timeless, John Williams' score, and the obvious time, effort and love put into making it.
Not just the greatest superhero film, it's one of the greatest films period.
John Bell
That poster is so fucking cool
Wyatt Price
Don’t forget, the greatest opening credits of all time

How can the MCU even compete?
Xavier Stewart

Donner Cut is the only real choice, but one should watch both.
Christopher Baker
Only the first one is good. 2 is overrated and 3 is straight trash
Chase Lee

Ian Fisher
2 is better than 1, and is one of the greatest superhero movies ever. 3 isn’t terrible it’s just ok
Hudson Rodriguez
Spider-Man is just wish fulfillment for teenagers, Superman actually means something more.
Wyatt Barnes
4 is the best one
NUCLEAR MAN
Ryder Campbell
2 is bogged down by the romance shit

Back then there was no geek culture.
Richard Donner was aiming for an audience of people who were not virgins, people with jobs who had been in multiple relationships and owned their own home. Adults with intelligent, mature standards.
Superhero movies now cater to neets, virgins, autists, kissless loners, unemployed nobodies. Its all fan service and garbage targeted towards the lowest denominator.

This is a fan edit right?

I’m afraid not
Chase Robinson
People just wanna fly around sometimes. You can't explain that.
Luis Lee
There have always been social hierarchies but back then capeshit wasn't built to to sell clothes, toys, and video games. The rise of the manchild has destroyed true masculinity.
Jacob Williams
The only superhero movie I ever liked. Reeve actually made Superman feel heroic.
Wyatt Moore
1 > 4 > 2 > 3
Robert Perez
There will never be another Lois like Margot. She grounded a role as equally powerful and ridiculous as Superman's.
Cooper Diaz
Didn't Brando used to shit in the toilet of Reeve's trailer during filming without him knowing and not flush it?
Ethan Thomas
I wish we got a more Flash Gordon style krypton
Grayson Scott
Came here to say this but this user nailed it. And I won't lie, still gives me little kid feels.
We don't talk about that!!!
Samuel Hughes
I hated this when it came out but compared with the newer movies I've warmed up to it. Too bad we never got that Brainiac movie.
Xavier Stewart
wish fulfillment for children!
Connor Walker
Leave your basements
Nicholas Powell
Brando thought Jor-El should be a green suitcase and/or a talking donut. At the point in Brando's life when he was making Superman there was no longer a line between reality and stream of consciousness imagination. Donner said he found Brando in his robes crouched behind an ice pillar, crying because he couldn't fly.
Jace Stewart
Worse, he fuckin destroyed the thing beyond repair with his famous '4 jars of peanut butter and a gallon of ice cream' shits
Then when Reeves called him out on it he got really offended and had the director force Reeves to apologize
Owen Walker
It's really easy to forget just how sexy Margot was.
