content: A very difficult undertaking, this film came off very well. Many complain that it takes too long for it to get off the ground, but I rather like the slowness to it. There's an expectation that for a film like this, you're going to have to cover the bases and develop characters, background, history, etc. The effects for the time are very solid and Reeve does a bang-up job as Superman. In compilations of bext movie scenes ever, the helicopter rescue sequence is right up there with pure adrenaline. Despite the ridiculous sequence involving Superman literally making the world go back in time by spinning the planet in reverse direction, the film is enjoyable. Great perfomances by all.
