Michael, Alli, and Vivian react to Superman: The Movie, the iconic superhero classic that introduced audiences to the cinematic version of Clark Kent as he embraces his destiny as Superman while protecting Metropolis from the brilliant and dangerous Lex Luthor. Blending hopeful heroism, romance, comedy, and groundbreaking visual effects for its time, the film helped define the modern superhero movie while capturing the optimism and larger-than-life spirit of the character. This reaction stands out for its nostalgia, heartfelt sincerity, and legendary comic-book moments, as Michael, Alli, and Vivian experience the film’s charm, emotional beats, and classic superhero storytelling in real time. Directed by Richard Donner (The Goonies, Lethal Weapon, Scrooged, The Omen, Maverick), the film stars Christopher Reeve (Somewhere in Time, The Remains of the Day, Superman II, Rear Window, Village of the Damned), Margot Kidder (Black Christmas, Superman II, Amityville 3-D, Sisters, Maverick), Gene Hackman (The French Connection, Unforgiven, Enemy of the State, Hoosiers, The Royal Tenenbaums), Marlon Brando (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, On the Waterfront, A Streetcar Named Desire, Don Juan DeMarco), and Ned Beatty (Deliverance, Toy Story 3, Network, Shooter, Rudy), bringing together a cast tied to legendary Hollywood films, classic superhero cinema, and iconic performances that continue to drive strong reaction and crossover audience appeal. ___________________________________________________ We've got merch!

Considering this is almost 50 years, this movie aged very well. It's still entertaining and Christopher Reeves set the standard for the "Man of Steel. " 💯
