#24 on Glenn's Top 100 Movie ListSuperman: The Movie is about a young alien who looks just like a human and when he comes to visit Earth he ends up getting powers. Psyche, I know everybody on earth knows Superman's origin. This movie has a lot of hokey parts, like when he turns back time by pushing the Earth backwards on its axis, but it's probably without a doubt the most reverential and fun comic book movie ever made. Each of these movies got progressively worse, especially the special effects, but this one is "really great" (Donner, 56).
RATING: 93%

Almost makes up for how bad Quest for Peace was.
Almost.
More reverential than Dolph Lundgren's Punisher? More fun than the first 4 hours of Watchmen?
Surely you jest.
I can't imagine growing up without Superman: The Movie. It was one of the first movies we ever taped off of TV (it was on ABC) when we first got a VCR in the mid-1980s. I enjoy all four Superman movies on some level, though Quest For Peace is laughably bad, albeit well-intentioned.
