Batman Forever is my favourite but objectively speaking yeah it's pretty much obviously Superman '78

It has its problems, namely Luthor's retarded (but well acted) entourage and a wonky third act, but the first two thirds of the movie are practically flawless. Reeve will never be topped, he's simply that good

- Impeccable cast incuding the single greatest actor to portray Superman to date
- Is played 100% straight without a hint of self-awareness or mockery, even during sillier moments
- Donner's direction, Unsworth's photography, and Williams' score are all on fire
- Superb production design

Yeah the script can be stupid, Luthor's only lackeys being a retard and a sexoo stick out particularly, but the whole thing is made with so much enthusiasm and passion and talent that it's hard not to get utterly swpt up in it

Agreed with all of this, but I still think the first one is deserving of its praise, warts and all
