The movie adaption of the Superman comic focuses mainly on Superman/Clark Kent's first time at the Daily Planet, where he get to know Lois Lane and ultimately has to save her and the Camera boy Jimmy from an earthquake caused by Lex Luthor (in his own words "the greatest mind on earth").
As far as plot goes it quite straight forward, the bad guy is continually hemmed by his dumb associates while Superman saves the day and again. The only thing to point out here is the fact that Superman at one point turns back time by flying really fast around the planet in orbit, which is a bit of a let down to me.
The acting and effects is beginning to show it's age but is okay the time considered, although the white suits that the Kryptons are wearing are very bright as if the lightning is wrong (too much). As for the best performance I'll have to say Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor is th best while Christopher Reeve also does well, but in general the acting isn't very astonishing.
As the first Superman movie and the time considering this is an okay movie but non the less it only get 4 out of 10 as I didn't find it that captivating.
