This movie will stand to the End of Time. This film is an absolute Masterpiece. The Writers & Director knew what they were doing. Christopher Reeve is a Powerhouse.

Gene Hackman and Valerie Perrine were Great as Lex Luthor & Eve Tesch...

We get the backstory in a decent sized chunk, then a long bit for Clark's early Earth life, then he turns into the ti...
