That's why they continue to use John Williams theme. It is, in my opinion, the greatest movie theme he's ever done. Which is saying something when he's had so many. Like Star Wars, Jaws and Harry Potter. He has a knack for making music that fits the movie.

[@michaelgauthier7837]

The special effects were great for their time but it was Christopher Reeve's portrayal of Superman/Clark Kent that made it work. He was a VERY good actor.

[@johnsmjs36]

For me he was a good Superman but his Clark Kent was cartoonish.

[@JustinLodes]

He has no equal still to this day no actor can hold a tortch to his portrayal of Superman. I hope they have a sample of his blood so can clone him one day. He was just that great

[@carlosmejido3244]

A very good actor indeed. He could have been one of the greatest actors ever if his accident didn't happen. In Superman the Movie he's the only person who makes a lot of differences between Clark and Superman, more than just a pair of glasses and a different hairstyle. And in the scene in which Superman leaves Lois just to appear 25 seconds later as Clark was made in one shot with no film editing. That means that in 25 seconds Reeve left Kidder, went backstage, changed his clothes, his hair, entered in the character of Clark and appeared in scene without looking tired at all. 25 seconds! And we can see this deep understanding and performances in any other of his movies (my personal favorite one is Somewhere in Time... That final performance... wow). Even in the set of Superman producers said he was a better actor than Brando and Hackman. A final fun fact is how he appeared publicly as Superman and everybody recognized him and asked for autograpghs. 10 minutes later he appeared as Clark and no one at all knew who he was.

[@JustinLodes]

Good is an understatement. He was beyond amazing. He played the part flawlessly. Almost like God sent him to earth just for this role

Proud to say I got to meet Reeve at a convention about 1 year before his accident. He was definitely a class act. After speaking to a room full of people and answering questions he then took the time talking and taking pictures with each and everyone wrapped around the room. He didn't get in any hurry and talked to everyone as though they were his best friend. There was no charge for autographs and I cherish mine to this day.

Undeniable. Christopher Reeve was the best Superman. His portrayal was spot on. And no one's liked more like the comic book version. It's as if the crest based his drawing off of C Reeves.

[@fedegibsonlespaul]

John Byrne, one of the artists who would draw superman for DC comics in the 80's (the best among all who would draw him imo) wrote a column in one of the comics (can't remember N° of issue) in which he explained that when he saw C. Reeve's Superman he actually felts this was how Superman was supposed to look like all along and how he had imagined him all his life. He started drawing his Superman for the comic looking just like Christopher, same face. I think José Luis García López also based his superman (super friends, super powers) on Christopher, and I wouldnt doubt other DC artists did too; so, what you wrote is fact 100%. They all knew who the real Superman was, same as we all know it was Christopher Reeve, gone but never forgotten.

[@MarkovianMan]

Exactly! When I first saw ads for the WW remake (Gal Gadot) I actually thought they were bringing Xena back, didn't even recognize her as WW. But I get that they had to completely rebuild the costume and the character to minimize the inevitable comparison to Lynda Carter as WW. (plus Gadot could never have, uh, properly fit into Carter's WW costume.) I think Reeve would have liked Brandon Routh's Superman... not so sure he would have liked Cavill's (nothing against Cavill himself). Superheroes are not supposed to be dark and brooding, they are supposed to represent light and goodness and hope for what humanity can aspire to be. Superhero movies are supposed to be an escape from the dark realities of the world, not a depressing magnification of them.

Christopher Reeve is the last great live-action Superman. I agree with most everything you mentioned. Although there are two things I'd like to address: 1) The 1978 Superman "uniform" has never been dated. It is what it should be; bright, optimistic, and a faithful adaption straight from the comics. It never needed to be "updated". Mostly, having it darkened was one of the worst mistakes possible. Batman is dark & brooding. Superman is the com- plete opposite. 2) The nostalgic line of "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" isn't outdated. It represents exactly who Superman is. Here's here to protect the world. But first, and foremost, Superman is American made. And patriotism for one's country should never seem corny. And when Superman (Reeve) says it, it still comes across as pure, honest, & convincing. p.s. Henry Cavill who??

[@itsmeGeorgina]

Yep, great comment indeed, thanks

[@ressierhodes955]

Yes he is. No one can ever replace Christopher Reeve as our super hero Superman ❤️

[@TroyNaumu808]

Christopher Reeve is the one and only Superman. As wholesome in real life as his onscreen character. Christopher Reeve's Superman is the measure that all the others will always be measured to. In the movies and in real life, Christopher Reeve was indeed Superman.

Christopher Reeves is still the best Superman. Great video.

0:19 see... I pause it right here and I look at reeve, man was he the most good-looking of them all. Not only that, but he nailed Clark Kent better then cavil, better then Routh hell I’ll take Brandon’s portrayal of both SM & Kent over Henry’s portrayal & yet none of them could come close to Christopher Reeves performance.

[@Censored4UViaGoogle]

Christopher Reeve is the quintessential Superman. No one else will personify the character like he did. Reeves portrayal of Superman put comic book based movies on the map.

[@chrislogan2557]

Reeve was the best because he got the perfect balance between playing the geeky, nervous Clark and the imperious Superman and they felt like two different people.

Christopher Reeves is superman he live eat and breathe Superman he lived his life by the same morals of Superman which made him the greatest actor to play and yes his movies are pretty old now but watching them just gives you a Cheesy good feeling inside hands down #mySuperman

I went to see superman the movie with my mum and dad in 1978 in London it was the first time I sat quiet as a child mesmerised Christopher reeve was and always will be superman I was absolutely gutted when he passed away this movie and starwars made my era of childhood a joy to grow up in

[@athansky25]

Christopher Reeve - Epitome of Man of Steel, compassion, empathy, selflessness, sacrifice, humour, naivety, awkwardness, love which all humans could relate to. No contemporary actor comes close. "Tough act to follow" as Lois Lane said in Superman II. He is the template, a GOLD Standard. 😉

[@JLOFlix]

BRAVO!! VERY WELL presented!! We could all use Superman in our lives!!

[@UpRoaryus]

Reeve is so pretty he is the only person who can wear that outfit and not look completely ridiculous.

[@AndThenSome71]

Didn't even need to watch this.. You had me at the title. But had to watch this just the same, lol. Blessed to have been around when these were fresh in theaters. Being 11 yrs old and seeing Superman fly for the first time on a giant screen, was a feeling beyond words for me. Reeves passing was a big deal for me.

Don't forget the greatest criminal mind of all time Lex Luther (Gene Hackman ). No comic villain has come close to Gene Hackman's performance maybe William Dafoe (Spider Man).

[@bobblueford]

@@johnchevelle1831You got that right.

[@hendrahilman]

Yes..I Absolutely agree..thank you for your review..Chris is the BEST Superman Ever

[@johnpresnell]

Amen, you are spot on in your analysis! In what they must think is hip and edgy, Hollywood has only degraded the comic-book and sci-fi heroes of our youth to the point where audiences are left feeling less than inspired. Fortunately, we still have 1978’s “Superman” to turn to!

[@ThomasBryant]

Reeves put a lot of himself into Superman. That's why even in his greatest true life struggles, he showed us all how to be Super, and never give up. Never stop believing.
