  (SD, R4, Australia, Warner Bros Entertainment)
A box-office smash, an Academy Award winner and a fan favourite since it first flew into theatres, Superman: The Movie assembles a cast and creative contingent as only a big movie can. At it's heart (and for three sequels) is Christopher Reeve's intelligent, affectionate portrayal of a most human Man of Steel. Reeve, Marlon Brando (Jor-El), Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor) and Margot Kidder (Lois Lane) give performances that fuel the film's aura of legend. Watching Superman again isn't just like being a kid again. It's better. |
