SUPERMAN II (1980) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

Other actors did pretty good as well, but Christopher Reeve is the definitive Superman. R.I.P

Now you know why Gen-X calls Christopher Reeves the real Superman. It's not because they saw him first as Superman (George Reeves was my first Superman), but because Christopher Reeves portrayed both Superman and Clark Kent to perfection. Even if other actors have portrayed him excellently, none of the others have been quite as good.

The way Reeve could just "turn" from Clark to Superman and back with just posture and inflection is the soul of his performance

these 2 superman movies still remain the gold standard for me.

Rip Christopher Reeve. What a legend

"KNEEEEEL BEFORE ZOD!" My favorite line of the movie.

"I know some judo, come on!" 😂 44 yr since I first saw this and have seen it repeatedly and I don't think I noticed that line til today!

Its amazing how Reeve's charm carries the movies still almost 50 years later.

One of my favorite scenes in this movie is when Lex goes to the Fortress of Solitude and can't help but scream how FANTASTIC it is. Wish more villains would be shown admiring part of the hero's background and giving credit to them where credit is due. Shows how intelligent Lex really is when he can appreciate a great thing when he sees it.

I love the way Lex says “Superman. Thank God. I mean, GET HIM!!!” 😅😅
