Superman had so much soul

>>212527158 (OP)
the 1978 superman is still the best superhero movie ever made and i'm tired of pretending it's not

>>212527158 (OP)
I don't think people even remember how goofy this movie was. It had a very silver age feel to it. Superman and Clark kept grinning at the camera.

>>212527288
That was the point, it was a movie for adults and kids set in time big budget comic movies were unheard of.
I wish we got more Krypton scenes

>>212527201
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

>>212527158 (OP)
People in the 20th century understood that superheroes are an inherently childish and over the top concept, so it was treated as such. Now we try to treat them seriously and that's why it's so cringe.

All that is preventing it from being unshakable top tier is that Luther is some conman dude living in the sewers instead of just leaning into him being an obscenely rich guy with the same exact plan. Also he comes off dopey and cowardly.

They kinda had that guy in S3 do the "rich Lex" routine.

>>212527158 (OP)
I always liked how much comedy the 1978 Superman film had. For example the whole toupee bit with Lex Luthor and Gene Hackman not wanting to shave his head for the role.

>>212527158 (OP)
SUPERMAN NEVER MADE ANY MONEY, SAVING THE WORLD FROM SOLOMON GRUNDY..

>>212528588
Yeah exactly. It makes no sense at all. But Hackman, Beatty and Perrine are so good and so much fun that the movie gets away with it.

>>212527618

that first part on Krypton is pure wagnerian kino of the highest order.

>>212527201
no one has ever asked you to pretend otherwise

>>212528511
Otis was pretty funny but you'd never find a character like that today

>>212528146
>erm objectively speaking

>>212527158 (OP)
Donner and James gunn understood superman. Zack snyder is a pretentious hack.

>>212527158 (OP)
Yup. There's no reason to watch another Superman, unless the old cartoons do it for you or the old George Reeves TV show. Reeve is definitive though, born to play the role of justice enforcer right down to his name.

>>212528588
Lex Luthor being a corporate tycoon wasn't a thing before 1986. Back in the 70s Luthor was mostly written as a megalomaniac mad scientist.

>Back in the 70s Luthor was mostly written as a megalomaniac mad scientist.

As he should be. Offices in comics are background and should stay that way. Same with the 70s and 80s movies.

>>212527201
it's not just the best superhero movie it's one of the best movies period

Christopher reeve is such a weird looking guy

-t. misshapen monster from Squatamala

This:

And it was a time where villains had secret lairs. And he wasn't living in the sewers, it was clearly and old subway train station that had been sealed off and only accessible via secret passage. Its a concept of the villain hiding "right under your nose".

>>212531705
Couldn’t be more wrong. Anyway, look at him. His figure was good sure, but only girls care about that. He has this weird pointy nose and snake like eyes that made him look like a reptile or something

>>212527158 (OP)
I just can't get past the part where he spins the entire world backwards and it magically turns back time. Possibly the dumbest scene in any capeshit I've ever watched.

>>212531812
>him have da pone-tee noze
Seethe more, brownoid.

First boner inducer

>>212531832
Filtered.

>>212531832
he doesn't turn back time by spinning the earth backwards, he goes back in time by moving faster than the speed of light. The spinning earth is just a visual aid

>>212532890
Do you need anymore than those?

>>212527158 (OP)
Then the masses rejected Superman Returns.

>>212531847
It’s really sad that dirty little spics like you have to play race warrior online to feel proud of themselves. No real white person gives a damn if someone thinks Christopher Reeve is a weird looking dude

>>212533150
because the whole thing falls apart when you get a charisma vacuum not only to play Superman but also Lois

>>212534269
I commend you for borrowing your village's one dirty and outdated copy of Webster's Dictionary and mimicking its preface somewhere so you have sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation, all in order to larp as a White man. It's cute in a way, and I don't think I don't appreciate the MUCHO EFFECTO you put out. Thank you, Paulo.

>>212534389
lol yeah (fucked up the other post because I was laughing at brownoid so hard)

>>212527158 (OP) Nice to see that good moviegoers still exist.

>>212533230
I didn't, I liked it. It had some glaring flaws but overall a nice little flick

>>212531868
I don't know how much longer Valerie has. She's sick.
