It was the first movie I ever saw in a theater... I was just three years old at the time. Based on my extremely hazy memory of that day, the whole deal was rather loud, and for some reason I really focused on the Christmas-ornament rocketship that took baby Kal-El to Earth, as well as the hydroelectric dam breaking up. Oh, and that lovely kryptonite necklace Luthor so lovingly gave to our hero. Then I grew up quite a bitand started noticing a lot of other things about the movie...

@@georgehenderson7783 The music sets it apart. This theme for Superman may well be the most heroic, optimistic, energetic theme ever written, so the screen could have been pitch black and it would have been stunning, but the visuals and sound effects enhance an already heightened experience while fulfilling a necessary purpose, namely displaying the opening credits. I can only imagine what it might have felt like to have seen, or rather, have heard, this theme for the first time in the theater, it must have been truly amazing and awe-inspiring.

Yes, I’m quite aware of that, but why that particular comic? It wasn’t the actual JUNE 1938 issue of Action Comics and why all of that talk about the Great Depression that doesn’t factor into the film? The Daily Planet globe on top of the building doesn’t even appear again. Luthor also says that Krypton exploded in 1948 and took Superman three years to get to Earth. So, was that to justify the long opening credits taking ten years to get from Earth to Krypton, yet it takes only three to get from Krypton to Earth? It’s a very baffling and superfluous opening that serves no real purpose than just an excuse to show a comic book transposed into a feature film. Even the films’ creators don’t have much to stay as to why it was there.
@jameswalker72355 жыл бұрын
@@kamdan2011 I believe it was a comic book created for the film itself, hearkening back to 1938, the year in which Superman was created. The depression era talk was included, as there were still residual effects of the great depression felt by all. The Daily Planet having the globe on top, again, could have been referencing the early appearances of the Daily Planet in the comic books. As for it disappearing by 1978-- over the course of 40 years, it seems plausible that the owner's felt a giant, spinning globe wasn't cost-effective. As for the opening credits-- I don't believe it has ANYthing to do with Superman's journey through space, nor that it would have any bearing on the time table established in the film. It's.. an opening credits sequence. An overture, with a futuristic spin on the presentation-- traditional, full symphony tune with 3D swooshing credits. :)

I know June 1938 is when Superman first appeared in Action Comics, but that’s not the actual cover of the issue. The sound mix you’re hearing is what was originally done in 1978.

This intro is all really exceptional and well-done (especially for 1978), but there's something special about the segment from about 1:14-1:31 that is unique. It quiets down to almost nothing and then plays only some bass notes for a bit. This creates a dynamic and tension that might otherwise not be possible with the intensity of this music. It reminds me of some upbeat songs where everything goes totally quiet for a second or two and then returns to full volume. Very dramatic. The music that comes before this kindof stalls and meanders in a way that tells you something big is coming - not exactly sure why it has that effect, but it's cool. And of course, the big 'S' that comes in at 1:36-1:46 is just epic. It all works together very well. But I'd have to agree with the comment below - this part could use more bass. But that's really nit-picking.

I wont. One is a super hero; the others argue too much.

December 15th Friday night 10:00pm screening at the MANN’S FOX COVINA Cinemas presented In 70MM 6-TRACK DOLBY STEREO I sat with my Mom and two brothers in a sold out full house audience. At age 12 this was the ultimate and most magical cinematic experience in all my years up to this day. Waiting in a line that wrapped itself around the entire theatre complex for over 21/2 hours was definitely worth the wait! To see this on the big screen beyond amazing and the audience was entirely blown away. Everyone knew they were in for a good ride all the way. There will never be a comic film interpretation with such genius visuals and feel the way RICHARD DONNER delivered this masterpiece.

That portion of the intro is important. Its telling the audience that this character is about to escape the page and into reality.

These titles were absolutely unheard of at the time and caused a sensation. Couple that with the most amazing music and you've got an instant classic.

This Opening Theme was so Dynamic - Just like the Man of Steel ! It was an awesome title sequence the like of which we had never seen before and gave us a taste of things to come in the movie ! Wonderful Actors, High Production Values, Special Effects and a Story-line that made us fall in love again with Superman :) Christoper Reeve "Owned that role" and it shows ! I remember this when it premiered in Melbourne Australia at The Capitol Theater in 1980. Thanks for posting it :)

My favourite John Williams score of his movie career. Even more than Star Wars and Indiana Jones. This is one of the perfect movie scores ever composed IMO. 🎬
