    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.

    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!
