A lot of people would point to the flaws of Superman or how it's dated. Not me. For my money, Superman is a wonderful fantasy adventure that does the character justice. The fact this movie is several different genres strung together to make one epic movie works effortlessly with Richard Donner's fearless ambition and Geoffrey Unsworth's beautiful cinematography. John Williams has the most underrated score of his career with this film as well. The humor works well, mostly, although it can be a little cheesy at times. I am, however, with the majority of critics in condemning the ending in which Superman turns back time. Still, flaws and all, Superman is a fun popcorn movie to watch for all ages.
