Classic Friday : Superman (1978) 9/10

Starring : Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, Marlon Brando, Ned Beatty
Director : Richard Donner
Running Time : 147 mins

When his home planet is destroyed, a young boy is sent to Earth by his parents in a vain attempt to save his life. When the boy arrives on Earth, he is adopted by a farming family and brought up as their son, Clark Kent (Reeve), but soon it becomes clear that this is no ordinary little boy, and that he has more than human powers.

This is the best superhero of the 20th Century, and even today it looks amazing. Though there's a lot of back story to be told, and the movie is overly long, there is a definite passion for the characters in the writing of the classic movie that helped to make the superhero movie what it is today.
