Plot summary: Vigilante violates laws of nature to protect his interspecies relationship. 11 years 10 months ago -

Is some of the effects a bit dated by todays standards? Yes! Is the ending a little goofy? Yes!
But this really is a great movie, and an incredible achievement in terms of adapting a comic-book to the big screen. Not to mention John Williams' fantastic score and a charming performance by Christopher Reeve.
Definitely one of the best comic book-movies of all time in my opinion. 8 years 8 months ago -

Love this classic adventure movie. Hadn't watched it in a couple of years, but still holds up. Great performances and a lot of fun. Only the ending i never liked......and still don't :-)
Watched it again with my 7 year old son. He loved it and a great movie to watch together! 10 years 10 months ago
