This is my first entry in my movie review blog. And I'm going to start with the Superman series. I will be posting one review everyday.

For my impressions of this film, I absolutely love it. It's my favourite superhero movie and is in my Top 10 list at Number 4. Here are the reasons why I love this film so much.

The Cast/Characters:

The cast of Superman: The Movie is one of the best I've ever seen. Christopher Reeve makes an excellent performance as Superman. He takes the role very seriously and just fits in with the character very well. He is the true Superman. Margot Kidder makes a good performance as Lois Lane, Superman's love interest. They portrayed her character really well and didn't just treat like a damsel in distress. Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor is also an excellent performance and has become one of my favourite villains. Then we have Marlon Brando as Jor-El, Jackie Cooper as Perry White and Mark McClure as Jimmy Olsen, all of which are great performances aswell.

The Special effects:

The special effects, while they haven't aged well over the years, still hold up pretty well and convince you that they're real. The use of forward-projection for Superman's flying scenes really do give the illusion that the actor is actually flying, All the miniatures are pretty good, especially the scene where Hoover Dam bursts. Overall, the film is very visually appealing.

The soundtrack:

The tremendous soundtrack of this film is done by the man, the legend, John Williams. He does an amazing job with the soundtrack and I think that this is his best work to date. Here are a few scores from the movie

Magnificent

Overall, it's a solid movie and I highly recommend it. Even if you're not a big Superman fan, you'll most likely enjoy this flick. I'm gonna give it a 10/10
