fate worse than death: general zod, ursa and non are imprisoned in the phantom zone by jor - el .
this film had the biggest budget from warner brothers, at the time of its release .
due to its high regard, the film' s continuity is maintained in the 2006 film superman returns, whose production design is heavily influenced by its forerunner. this is especially evident with the opening credits, fortress of solitude, musical references and even the use of marlon brando as jor - el .
we can rule together: general zod invites jor - el to join him in his rebellion. doesn' t work .
all there in the manual: although it is never made entirely clear in the film, the reason zod rebelled was established in the dc continuity as being because of jor - el' s prediction that krypton was doomed. jor - el could not tolerate zod' s methods, and so foiled his plans. the reason the counsel did not listen to jor - el is because his arguments were exactly the same as zod' s motive for trying to overthrow them .
this film' s credits sequence cost more than most movies made, up to that point .
in its initial run, the film topped the box - office charts for thirteen consecutive weeks .

the film was originally scheduled to be released in june 1978, the fortieth anniversary of action comics 1, which first introduced superman, but the problems during filming pushed the film back by six months .
jor - el: you... enjoyed it? superman: i don' t know what to say, father. i' m afraid i just got carried away. jor - el: i anticipated this, my son. now... superman: you couldn' t have... you couldn' t have imagined... jor - el: how good it felt ?
saved for the sequel: at the beginning of the movie, general zod is roaring to jor - el ,
you will bow down before me, jor - el! both you and, one day, your heirs !
however, he is then cast into the phantom zone and we have to wait for the next film to see him carry out that threat .
: the council of elders wanted to send jor - el to the phantom zone for building the rocket ship. also, they send a
a scene in which jor - el explains to superman why he must keep his secret identity was added for the director' s cut .
magnificent bastard: after the council judges zod and his conspirators guilty, zod informs jor - el that
the vote must be unanimous
so it' s jor - el' s decision alone to condemn them and zod will hold him responsible. it' s probably his way of intimidating their jailer. jor - el' s crystal glows, as his way of saying
shut up, zod !

francis ford coppola, john guillermin, robert aldrich, and norman jewison were approached to direct, but they were either already on a film, or they didn' t think it was their type of film .

jor - el instead sends his son kal - el to earth, thus technically keeping his promise to the council .
paul newman was offered the choice of playing superman, lex luthor, or jor - el for the fee of four million dollars. newman was not interested in any of them .
ascended extra: this adaptation gave jor - el unprecedented importance in superman' s origin story beyond just blasting him off to earth. superman' s superhero career becomes a messianic mission bestowed by jor - el as god - figure. jor - el sends kal - el forth to use his powers as the paragon for humans ,
the light to show them the way to greatness
. his virtual ghost charges clark to become superman and trains him for 12 years. in the comics and most other adaptations since, jor - el had nothing at all to do with clark becoming superman. jor - el sent his son to earth simply to save his life with no ulterior motives for humanity. earth was chosen simply because it was habitable and kal - el would fit right alongside humans. the awesome powers were a bonus, and clark becoming superman was all due to him being a morally upright, responsible man as raised by the kents .
geoffrey unsworth believed that he accidentally caused the infamous blackout of 1977 when he plugged a spotlight to a lamppost during the shooting of the film .
in a documentary on the making of the film, richard donner recalled how he had written down the first pieces of information he received regarding the film onto the back of a business card. he held onto the card as a souvenir, and displays it in the documentary taking flight (2004). close examination of this card reveals that, at one point, nick nolte was being considered for a role in the film .
although not seen in the theatrical release, a scene in which the council of elders dispatches a helmeted policeman to jor - el' s laboratory, in an effort to prevent him from leaving krypton, was partially restored for the 2001 director' s cut. there was, however, additional footage seen in the expanded 1981 abc television network broadcast of the film, showing the policeman in the process of teleporting through kryptonopolis on his way to stop jor - el, only to be killed when the planet begins to break apart .
with jor - el' s first words in the movie. he is actually speaking about the clues that prove zod and his henchmen guilty of sedition, but the phrase can be easily interpreted as
christopher reeve (superman) does not appear on screen until 48 minutes into the film. however, his voice is heard in the smallville scenes, as he dubbed jeff east. gene hackman, who plays principal villain lex luthor, is not fully seen until just over an hour into the film .

jeff corey played lex luthor in the film' s screentests. he had previously played luke benson in superman and the mole - men (1951) .
clark meets jor - el' s virtual ghost in two different comic versions of his origin written years after the movie, but the encounters are not as fundamental to his becoming superman as in the movie. the later version was particularly influenced by the visuals of the movie so its jor - el is middle - aged and silver - haired like brando' s, whereas he' s most often depicted as physically identical to superman .

audible gleam: jor - el' s crystal during general zod' s sentencing hearing. also, the crystal clark found in his old spaceship at the kent farm and took to the north pole to build the fortress of solitude .
superman' s romance with lois leads him to contradict jor - el' s orders to avoid altering human history, time traveling to save her from dying. superman instead takes the advice of jonathan kent, his father on earth .
the costumes worn by jor - el and others on the planet krypton were covered with front projection material to create the highly unusual photographic effect shown. the filmmakers came up with the idea while doing tests for the visual effects sequences .
rule of three: over the course of the film, kal - el is told three times by jor - el that he is forbidden to interfere in human history, before the guilt of having been unable to save pa kent makes him ignore the warning: once in the pod, once in the fortress, and once in the sky over lois' s body. granted, the third warning echoes around a few times .
in 2000, director richard donner and film restoration producer michael thau prepared a new 151 - minute
special edition
originally for theatrical re - release. working from original film elements (which were beginning to deteriorate), the film went through a six - month restoration, with both color and sound rejuvenated (and with many new audio effects added, such as a different - sounding
whoosh
used for the opening credit items), and cleaning off dirt that had been building up on the film over twenty years. also, donner selected eight of the 45 - plus minutes that had been used for the television release to be incorporated into this new cut. this version was slated for worldwide theatrical re - issue, but was instead released to video and, for the first time ever, on dvd, in the summer of 2001. this version has been seen on cable television and in revival film houses .
there are eighteen camera operators credited on this film, not counting any of the special effects (matte photography, process photography, model units, et cetera .) or aerial units .
russell crowe as jor - el, henry cavill as kal - el, and michael shannon as zod man of steel is a nolan - ized retelling of the superman origin story. in this version, kryptonians were explorers and colonizers, forming communities on many planets. but in using up all their resources they doomed their planet to extinction. as in previous versions, pre - eminent scientist jor - el sends his only son, kal - el, to a planet far away, where he can live. his antagonist, general zod, in this story is not evil. he’s just a pragmatist who wants to defend his people and their way of life. thing is, jor - el knows that zod’s way is not the best way .
based upon the novel

by erland kiøsterud about jor, living in copenhagen, trying to make a living as an artist. meanwhile he has to live off his girlfriend gerda' s prostitution. then morgan turns up, creating trouble .
in a recent documentary about the making of
superman the movie
( 1978) show producer alexander salkind said he offered paul newman all three of the main male parts: superman, jor - el and lex luthor; and he turned them all down .
richard lester agreed to work on this film because the salkinds still owed him money for working on the three musketeers (1973) and the four musketeers: milady' s revenge (1974) .
in 1979, wci home video (now warner home video) issued superman on vhs, betamax and laserdisc. however, only for the vhs and betamax releases, the film was truncated to a length of 127 minutes by way of time compression, as most scenes without dialogue were sped up, and a majority of the film' s closing credits were deleted, instead replacing them with a truncated version consisting of the copyright notice, and a chyron of the credits taken from an 8mm release of selected scenes from the film. this time compression was necessary because of the technological limitations of videocassettes at the time and the unavailability of long - playing cassettes. the film would not be available in an uncompressed form until 1983, when warner bros. finally issued such a version on home video. this version was re - released to video in 1986. another laserdisc set of the film was released in 1990, which was color - corrected and in widescreen format, and in its original theatrical version .
the film cast includes two oscar winners: gene hackman and marlon brando; and six oscar nominees: ned beatty, jackie cooper, terence stamp, susannah york, valerie perrine, and trevor howard .
the of the s - shield as a a kryptonian herald for the house of el was originally created for this film. it was then incorporated into the comic mythology and subsequent superman - related productions .
the characters of non and eve teschmacher were not featured in the comics at the time of production and were created by mario puzo for this film. they are also featured in supergirl (2015) .

william friedkin and sam peckinpah were offered the chance to direct this film. friedkin turned down the offer outright. peckinpah dropped out of the running when he produced a gun during a meeting with ilya salkind .
also, in this version, jonathan' s death is a wake - up call for clark, who was only a jock, to find a deeper purpose in life. however, it' s jor - el, not himself, who turns him into
superman .
the movie was filming in new york city on the night of the 1977 blackout. the new york daily news was able to publish despite the blackout, because the film company let the newspaper use their generators .
the designation of the stylized' s' as jor - el' s family crest on the planet krypton solved an apparent logical dilemma for the creators of the superman films. the' s' is indestructible, as is the rest of superman' s uniform, but kal - el was not called
superman
on krypton. the creators decided to adorn every kryptonian leader' s robes with a family crest (as noted in publicity magazines at the time) and the one for jor - el' s family happened to look like a stylized' s' .
marlon brando reputedly suggested that his cameo role as jor - el be done by him in voice - over only, with the character' s image on - screen being a glowing, levitating green bagel. when richard donner met brando, the actor proposed that he played jor - el not as a green suitcase, but as a
bagel .
brando reasoned that no one knows what the people on krypton look like, but that jor - el would know what people on earth look like, and would therefore make his son look human, so he could blend in. tom mankiewicz even recalled that, at one point, brando pitched the idea that maybe kryptonians do not even talk. they simply make electronic sounds that are translated through subtitles. donner refused these suggestions; they turned out to be a ruse, that brando used to test richard .
man of steel opens on the planet of krypton—an alien realm that resembles a cross between avatar’s pandora and star wars’ cloud city. lara lor - van, played by the israeli actress ayelet zurer, is in labor. bathed in celestial light, and with her husband, jor - el (russell crowe), looking on, she gives birth to their son, kal - el. since krypton is dying, jor - el plots to send his newborn to a far - off planet and settles on earth. “you will give the people an ideal to strive towards, ” he says. meanwhile, general zod (michael shannon), the planet’s military chief, is organizing a coup. after alerting his wife via pin - art intercom, flying a dragon, and recovering the “codex” that contains all of krypton’s knowledge, including gene coding that would ensure the kryptonian race’s survival, jor - el manages to ship off his son, while zod and his co - conspirators are captured and banished to a “phantom zone” black hole—all before krypton explodes. this 19 - minute sequence is far and away the most impressive part of the film, thanks to crowe’s poignant turn as the noble, loving father. it’s a rare slice of humanity in a film that will soon devolve into a loop of bodies crashing through buildings .
christopher reeve worked out so much during the making of this film that the traveling matte shots taken of him at the beginning of the shoot did not match the later shots, and they had to be re - taken .
superman established a standard superhero film format dealing with his or her origin story: origin of hero, then introduction of arch - enemy, love interest and other important characters (which often didn' t happen all that once in the comics), then first conflict. the film starts on krypton, with brilliant scientist jor - el (marlon brando) sentencing a trio of treasonous villains to spend eternity in the phantom zone. following this scene, the film follows superman' s origins — krypton' s explosion, baby kal - el' s trip through space, getting his adoptive name of clark kent, and the first appearance of superman — before he becomes a mild - mannered reporter for the daily planet as clark, rescues lois lane (margot kidder) and others as superman, and finally has to stop a plot by the self - proclaimed
greatest criminal mind of our time
, lex luthor (gene hackman), to destroy the west coast .
since hackman still wouldn' t shave his head (with the exception of one scene at the end where he wore a skull cap), screenwriter tom mankiewicz devised the notion of luthor wearing several different wigs throughout the film .
right before the credits end you can hear
uh - oh
being spoken mysteriously by a child. the same sound can be heard in the track
oil rig
from hans zimmer' s score for the film .
in the early 1970s, literary agent david obst suggested to stan lee and carmine infantino, the then - editors of marvel and dc comics, respectively, that they create a
superman vs. spider - man
film. lee and infantino liked the idea, but since the superman (1978) film and the amazing spider - man (1977) tv series were already planned, they decided to instead to make the idea as a comic book .
in addition, the success of the film, which cost an enormous $ 55 million — at the time, big - budget movies usually cost about $ 20– $ 30 million — set a new standard for superhero movies which demanded similar production values and respect for their source material. that respect became especially influential after the failure of the farcical batman & robin by joel schumacher suggested to many that the donner film' s spirit was the proper tone to use for the genre .
superman received a
special achievement
academy award for best visual effects, in one of the years when there was no such competition for the award. it was nominated for best film editing, best music, original score and best sound .
richard donner was originally planning to direct damien: omen ii (1978) when he was hired to direct this film for one million dollars. donner began by throwing out the script, and hiring tom mankiewicz to write him a new one .
unknown at the time, john travolta auditioned for the role of clark kent / superman. the salkinds however, turned him down. travolta would later star in grease (1978) of that year which became the highest grossing film of all time .
at one point paul newman and joanne woodward were offered the roles of jor el and lara, but the british acting union were increasingly concerned about the amount of american actors joining the production. this was also the reason why an offer to orson welles was withdrawn, and why the krypton elders are almost all played by british actors .
during the smallville segment, the original recording of
rock around the clock
by bill haley & his comets is heard on a car radio. this is significant as this is played at the beginning of glenn ford' s final scene in the movie; ford had starred in blackboard jungle, the film that introduced
rock around the clock
( and helped launch the rock and roll era). the expanded abc edit of the film, however, replaces the song with another piece of music .
superman was the first film to feature a split - channel surround soundtrack — originally a 6 - channel presentation. dolby digital sound made its debut in batman returns. both were produced by warner bros. and feature characters appearing in titles from dc comics .
marlon brando sued the salkinds and warner brothers for fifty million dollars, because he felt cheated out of the film' s considerable box - office profits. this is the main reason why footage of brando does not appear in superman ii (1980) .
brando was also 54 when he took on the role, while crowe is only 47 (and often plays younger). jor - el does seem a part tailored for an elder statesman rather than a leading man, and few of crowe' s recent roles hint towards an acceptance that he is entering a new stage of his career .
other actors considered for the role include clive owen (46) and sean penn (51), however, so producer / godfather christopher nolan is clearly aiming for a slightly younger take on the character. no big deal – the comic - book version of jor - el certainly provides enough leeway for studio warner brothers to go that way .
age lift: jor - el seems to be older than in the comics (of the time), as implied with his white hair and marlon brando pushing middle age. in the comics he was basically just around superman' s age and looked nigh - identical, to the point where a time - traveling superman could pass as him .
clark and lois lane (amy adams), a no - nonsense, pulitzer prize–winning journalist for the daily planet, are drawn to a norad outpost in the arctic overseen by colonel hardy (christopher meloni) and dr. emil hamilton (richard schiff). there, clark discovers a krypton ship trapped in ice—a stand - in for the fortress of solitude—where he communicates with a hologram of jor - el, who fills him in on his people’s history and his mission. and with that, about an hour into the film, kal - el transforms into superman, sporting an updated suit and cape .
the first time we see superman in his red, blue and yellow uniform is nearly an hour into
superman .
perhaps the filmmakers agreed with spielberg' s famous statement that
jaws
would work better the longer he kept the shark off the screen. that means the film doesn' t open like most superhero movies or james bonds with a sensational pre - title sequence. to be sure, it opens on the planet krypton with his father jor - el preparing him to be launched into space. but those aren' t action scenes; they provide weight to the origin story every superhero requires .
composer john williams used the same orchestra that he used for his themes for the first six
star wars
movies (he used the london symphony orchestra), hence his film scores sounding like star wars: episode iv - a new hope (1977) .
what' s potentially more intriguing – and may tell us a little more about man of steel – is that the character is present at all. are we to see the death of krypton and the transportation of superman as a baby in a space capsule to earth, as we did in richard donner' s 1978 film? we already know that the new movie features michael shannon as general zod, jor - el' s one - time friend turned sworn enemy, who in the earlier iteration arrives on earth (in superman ii) with his henchmen ursa and non, having escaped from incarceration in the phantom zone .
jerry goldsmith, who scored the omen (1976), was originally set to score the film. portions of goldsmith' s work from capricorn one (1977) were used in the teaser trailer. he dropped out over scheduling conflicts, and john williams was hired .
overcome with grief and fury, superman flies into the upper atmosphere of earth, where he hears jor - el' s voice forbidding him to interfere in human history. disobeying his father, superman flies around the earth until he is moving faster than the speed of light, thus traveling back in time. this is visually represented by the earth appearing to spin backwards .
according with jor - el (when he talks to his son in the fortress of solitude), superman is eighteen years old at time of their meeting in the fortress, passing twelve years together studying life and the cosmos. when superman appears in metropolis, he is 30 years old. christopher reeve was only 24 and 25 years old at time of this movie .
actor allusion: the bill haley song
rock around the clock
is heard on a car radio just before glenn ford' s final scene. ford starred in blackboard jungle, the film that helped launch the rock and roll era by popularizing
rock around the clock .
george kennedy, jack nicholson, and gene wilder were considered for the role of lex luthor. nicholson, who went on to play the joker in batman (1989), was considered to play luthor in a
superman
film project in the 1990s that was ultimately shelved .
the bill haley song
rock around the clock
is heard on a car radio just before glenn ford' s final scene. ford starred in blackboard jungle (1955), the film that helped launch the rock and roll era by popularizing
rock around the clock .
first film collaboration between warner brothers and dc comics, since the two companies had come under the same ownership during the early 1970s. this was not the first project however, as wonder woman (1975), also produced and distributed through warner brothers, was launched in 1975 .
on his first day on the set, marlon brando suggested to richard donner that the cameras roll during rehearsal. brando reportedly said ,
who knows? we might get lucky .
according to donner, that very first take was the one that was used in the finished film .
took a shortcut: it is made clear by jor - el' s narration that superman' s journey to earth took thousands of years but he only aged a few years due to the effects of relativity. oddly enough, lex luthor pinpoints 1948 as the year of krypton' s destruction. perhaps lex luthor meant that the light from far away krypton exploding reached earth in 1948 .
the film was followed by 1980' s superman ii, 1983' s superman iii, and 1987' s superman iv the quest for peace, as well as the related (and unsuccessful) 1984 spinoff supergirl. the producers went on to create the adventures of superboy a few years later .
in the scene where lois lane interviews superman on the balcony, superman replies ,
i never lie .
ilya salkind felt this was an important point in the film, since superman, living under his secret identity as clark kent, is
telling the biggest lie of all time .
if he knows his comic - book movie history, russell crowe must have been wondering whether to laugh or cry when the offer to play jor - el (aka superman' s dad) in zack snyder' s man of steel came through. variety reports that crowe is in negotiations for what will be a key role in the series reboot, which is set to start shooting in july .
more recent superhero movies are top - heavy with special effects and wall - to - wall action .
superman
is more restrained in its telling, but doesn' t seem slow, probably because it tells a good story rich in archetypes. it started something .
it is to the superhero genre what' snow white' is to animation ,
writes the young indian critic krishna shenoi .
it is literally the film that started the superhero film genre. without it, there would be no' batman,' no' x - men,' no' iron man' .
steven spielberg was offered the chance to direct this film. producers balked at the salary he asked for. they decided to see how jaws (1975), which he had just completed, did at the box - office. that movie was a huge success, and spielberg went on to other projects .
just before the destruction of the planet krypton, scientist jor - el sends his infant son kal - el on a spaceship to earth. raised by kindly farmers jonathan and martha kent, young clark discovers the source of his superhuman powers and moves to metropolis to fight evil. as superman, he battles the villainous lex luthor, while, as novice reporter clark kent, he attempts to woo co - worker lois lane
the
fly off into the sunset
moment that closes this film became so iconic that not only was it repeated in the three direct sequels that chris reeve starred in, but brandon routh would do his own version in superman returns, and it was featured in bruce timm' s seventy - fifth anniversary clip .
several scenes were shot for the movie, but were not used in the theatrical version. among them are: extended dialogue scenes between jor - el and his fellow kryptonians, a scene of baby kal - el' s space pod flying past the phantom zone - trapped villains, a scene of a child lois lane seeing clark kent running extremely fast from a train window, a scene in which ma kent tries to wake up a still - sleeping clark, additional dialogue between superman and jor - el in the fortress of solitude, a scene in which superman is pelted with bullets, fire, and ice as he approaches luthor' s hideout, a scene in which otis has to feed luthor' s
babies
( some type of animal or monster we never see on - screen), and a scene where luthor attempts to feed miss teschmacher to those same
babies
after she sets superman free. although not used in the theatrical cut, most of these scenes were worked into the extended dvd versions. all of the scenes, used in the extended version or not, can be found in the four - disc dvd special edition of the film .
alexander salkind says he produced this film ,
she proclaimed .
he did not produce' superman.' my son ilya produced' superman.' and i produced' ilya!'
she then started throwing plates, glasses, bottles, vases and pitchers around the room. the guests dove beneath their tables .
useless trivia: this film directly inspired the second run of mister rogers' neighborhood through children trying a little too hard to imitate the man of steel, sometimes at the cost of their lives. in fact, the very first week of the second run dealt with the topic of imitable behavior as it relates to films like this one .
although it' s one of superman' s most famous abilities, he is never seen leaping tall buildings in a single bound in this film, or any of the subsequent superman films, although a young clark kent barely makes the leap from the daily planet building to another, in an episode of smallville (2001), insurgence .

in the aftermath of returns, christopher nolan produced and zack snyder directed 2013' s man of steel, a continuity reboot which starred henry cavill as the title character. the film became the first of the dc extended universe, a shared universe of dc comics characters where superman, batman, wonder woman and others share the big screen for the first time .
one other note — the product placement was blatant throughout the film. nikon, sears, 7 - eleven, ihop, and nokia got a lot of play — including the latest version of the iconic nokia ringtone. it wasn’t quite as bad as the (probably intentionally) ham - handed way they do it on warehouse 13, but it was noticeable .
richard donner was disgusted that production designer john barry and cinematographer geoffrey unsworth received no recognition from the academy for their work on this film. he was particularly aggrieved that one of the nominees for best art direction was california suite (1978), which merely duplicated an existing hotel, while barry created an entire fictional city, and a fortress in the arctic .
richard donner, the director, used the word
verisimilitude
as the production motto in scripting and crafting the film. they devoted a lot of their effort to figuring out how to have things make sense within the ludicrous framework of the premise and plot. why doesn' t superman solve all the world' s problems? jor - el' s dialogue explains (piecemeal) that there is an intergalactic rule that superman is bound not to interfere in the course of another planet' s history, this rule having been put into place as the result of the early history of
the 28 known galaxies
being rife with warfare due to interference (presumably resulting in stringent vigilance for that sort of thing now, creating the potential for the intergalactic equivalent of an international incident). he is already bending the rules just being superman in the first place .
to this day, you can send scientifically knowledgeable folks into a boiling rage by mentioning the
spin the earth backwards to reverse time
ending of the first film. then again, some fans of the franchise tend to agree that the earth spinning backwards was simply a visual metaphor for going back in time, and that superman wasn' t literally spinning the earth backwards .
as with star trek into darkness, the farther you get from seeing man of steel, the more you notice its flaws. it was a flawed film, but a decent one. don’t waste your money on 3 - d, and try not to go at night so you can save a few bucks. i’ll be interested to see where the nolanverse takes the superman character .
: clark' s birth date is stated to be 1948, and jor - el describes him as' eighteen' when they first meet. that means that the teenage clark segment takes place in 1966, but everyone acts and dresses more like it' s the 1950s. sure, country towns are often a little behind, but lana and her friends listening to' rock around the clock' by bill haley & his comets is pretty odd, considering that song was over a decade old by 1966 .
despite never being mentioned in the film, krypton' s red sun is also known as
rao
... which would make krypton' s technical name
rao prime
. (by the same reckoning, earth / terra would be named
sol 3
... after
sol
, our yellow sun, from which
solar
is taken. )
superman
pointed the way for a b picture genre of earlier decades to transform itself into the ruling genre of today. when the flamboyant producer alexander salkind announced his film and signed marlon brando and gene hackman for millions, the industry thought he was crazy. comic books weren' t being called graphic novels back then, and the emergence of the marvel superhero stable was still ahead .
as production dragged on through 1977 the studio became concerned — by that time, star wars had proven to be a big hit and warners were not convinced the salkinds' film would be as big of a draw. donner soon commissioned an early teaser trailer, also developed by r / greenberg associates, in which clouds raced by the viewer with the names of the all - star cast' blasting' on to the screen, ending with the superman shield exploding into view (a visual effect re - used in the actual film' s opening credits). this teaser trailer was released in the second half of 1977 on the back of star wars and garnered an enthusiastic audience reaction that did much to keep the production going. it is available as a bonus feature on the dvd .
of course, the kryptonian scenes may appear via flashback, allowing the film - makers to have their cake and eat it. that may feel a little like a cop out, but who would want to try and compete with the opening scenes of donner' s superman? let us hope that the compromise – if that' s what it turns out to be – never feels like one .
note to parents: this film contains a lot of violence, as well as widespread destruction. there’s not a lot of swearing, and there are no sexual situations. there is, however, a naked baby, so expect younger children to laugh inappropriately at that. there’s also a scene of childbirth, but it’s not graphic. use your own best judgment before letting your children see this movie .
i' ll start off by saying that i really enjoyed this movie. at times it made me laugh, at times it gave me frights, there were many times when it set my pulse racing. it' s an action movie, its supposed to. not once did it make me think of how flawed western civilization really is, or put tears in my eyes, or make me appreciate living in a 21st century, western country, with plenty to eat, drink etc. its an action movie, it' s not supposed to. and thats where i find some of these reviews annoying. if you go to the cinema to see a movie called gi joe: retaliation, which is an action movie, you should only rate it accordingly. this movie easily fulfills all the criteria for a good action film, so if you want to go see an action movie, then yes, go see this. the acting isn' t bad, the plot is fairly good and the visuals are incredible. but if you want to see a realistic film, one that will make you smile, sob, or think about life, do not go see this film. what this film is, is 2 hours entertainment. it will have you glued to the screen for that 2 hours (especially if you see it in 3d). i would recommend gi joe: retaliation to anyone from about the age of ten up, as long as you walk into the cinema or press play expecting to see a good action movie. if you do this, you will be thoroughly entertained for 2 hours. enjoy !
the superman
s
logo that marlon brando wears on his white cloak looks the same as the one used for george reeves' costume in the television show adventures of superman (1952); this was probably an homage. since this film, the idea of the
s
symbol being a kryptonian family crest of the house of el has been incorporated into superman' s comic books and subsequent adaptations .
the story begins when the planet krypton is in danger of imminent destruction. unable to convince kryptonian elders, scientist jor - el promises that neither he nor his wife, lara, will leave the planet. however, he sends his infant son, kal - el, to earth to ensure his survival, just as krypton begins its death throes. kal - el' s spaceship crash lands three years later in smallville, kansas, where the boy is found and adopted by a childless couple, jonathan and martha kent, who name him clark after martha' s maiden name .
