The movie's legacy soared even higher when director Richard Donner revisited this beloved adventure 22 years later and integrated eight minutes into the film. Enjoy more footage of the Krypton Council, a glimpse of stars of prior Superman incarnations, more of Jor-El underscoring his son's purpose on Earth and an extended sequence inside Lex Luthor's gauntlet of doom. Reeve, Marlon Brando (Jor-El), Gene Hackman (Luthor) and Margot Kidder (Lois Lane) give indelible performances that fuel the film's aura of legend.

Reviews

The Sun-Herald (Australia)

Romola Costantino

There's much amusement in the comedy angles to Superman's miraculous powers... The picture is worth seeing for those frisky scenes, but elsewhere it becomes a typical glitter package of Hollywood excesses.

The best superhero movie ever made.

Richard Donner delivers action, and humor for adults and children alike in this entertaining film. [Full review in Spanish]
