Richard_Donner's big-budget blockbuster Superman:_The_Movie is an immensely entertaining recounting of the origin of the famous comic book character. Opening on Krypton (where Marlon_Brando plays Superman's father), the film follows the Man of Steel (Christopher_Reeve) as he's sent to Earth where he develops his alter-ego Clark Kent and is raised by a Midwestern family. In no time, the movie has run through his teenage years, and Clark gets a job at the Daily Planet, where he is a news reporter. It's there that he falls in love with Lois Lane (Margot_Kidder), who is already in love with Superman. But the love story is quickly sidetracked once the villainous Lex Luthor (Gene_Hackman) launches a diabolical plan to conquer the world and kill Superman. Superman:_The_Movie is filled with action, special effects and a surprising amount of humor. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
