What can I say that hasn't already been said?
This movie is great, and while Superman isn't my favourite comic book character, this is one of my favourite comic book movies.
In my opinion it has the right tone for the character of Superman, lighthearted and a little goofy while still being able to have serious moments that don't feel out of place.
The casting in this movie is good, to this day I still associate Superman with Christoper Reeve (No disrespect to Henry Cavil), I extend this praise to Margot Kidder, Marlon Brando and Gene Hackman. I personally liked this movies portrayal of Lex Luthor despite the fact that it deviates from the Industrial Magnate super-genius that i am more familiar with I felt that this direction worked more with the tone of this movie. Lex Luthor is still the classic evil genius but it is done in a comedic way and at times it can be hard to take him seriously despite the fact that he is literally planning on destroying the American west coast.
While this movie is 3 hours long I never felt board or got the impression that it was bloated, it had a lot of s**t to cover.
