SUPERMAN - THE MOVIE
(Special Edition)
Richard Donner's 1978 epic about the Man of Steel showed how a film about a superhero could be a moving and romantic
experience even for people who long ago gave up comic books. Beginning on the icy planet Krypton, the story follows the baby
Kal-El, whose rocket ship lands in Smallville, Kansas. He is found there by a childless couple and raised as the shy Clark Kent
(the young Kent is played by Jeff East). The film is perhaps most touching in these sequences, with expanses of wheat fields
blowing in the wind and with a young man who can't figure out what part in destiny his great powers are meant to play. The
second half, with Reeve taking over as Clark/Superman, is bustling, enchanting (the scene in which Superman flies girlfriend Lois
Lane--played by Margot Kidder--through the night sky is great date material), and funny, thanks largely to Gene Hackman's
sardonic portrayal of nemesis Lex Luthor. This Special Edition video should be an essential part of any film lover's collection!
Additional Features:
Only the initial movie has been remixed and restored for this collection, and it features eight minutes of footage that was originally
shown on television broadcasts in the 1980s. Also included are interviews made some 20 years after the original film, and screen
tests from Reeve and Kidder--and other Lois Lanes such as Anne Archer and Stockard Channing who didn't make the final cut

SUPERMAN II
Director Richard Lester (A Hard Day's Night) took over the franchise with this first sequel in the series, though the film doesn't
look much like his usual stylish work. (Superman III is far more Lesteresque.) Still, there is a lot to like about this movie, which
finds Superman grappling with the conflict between his responsibilities as Earth's savior and his own needs of the heart.
Choosing the latter, he gives up his powers to be with Lois Lane (Margot Kidder), but the timing is awful: three renegades from
his home planet, Krypton, are smashing up the White House, aided by the mocking Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman). The film isn't
nearly as ambitious as its predecessor, but the accent on relationships over special effects (not that there aren't plenty of
them) is very satisfying. So, if you were enthralled by Superman: The Movie, Superman II will not let you down in any way.
