In Reply to: Apologies in advance for differing with you on this, but the entire Superman series... posted by Audiophilander on May 30, 2002 at 15:18:49:
For me, the film brings the essence of the original DC comics character to magnificent big screen life-to this day, I still get a thrill when John Williams magnificent "The Planet Krypton" fanfare rings out (still his best overall score, IMO). I love Reeves' performance, although he does overplay Clark a tad, IMO. He has a kind of wry amusement when delivering lines as Superman that I find very appealing, and the rapport w/Kidder's Lane is obvious. I like the supporting players, too-particularly Glenn Ford. S2 is good, but not as good as the original (it would be interesting to see what the finished product would have been like had Donner been allowed to finish the film)-and as far as 3 and 4 go, the less said, the better!I'll have to check out Smallville-you mean there's actually a program on WB worth watching? :)
