Fun fact: According to Roger Moore's autobiography, he witnessed Christopher Reeve walking through the canteen at Pinewood Studios in full Superman costume, oblivious to the swooning female admirers he left in his wake. When he did the same thing dressed as Clark Kent, no one paid any attention.

@michaelccozens 2 года назад

The technical details of Reeve's performance still don't get enough recognition, I think. The way he worked extensively with the crew to make Superman's lift-offs and landings look as graceful and effortless as a figure skater stepping onto the ice. The hunched posture and nervous mannerisms that make Clark feel like a completely separate character to Superman's unthreatening but completely unassailable confidence. Wonderful stuff!

@Latest Obsession I agree to a point the difference is in the original Superman they showed his struggle particularly when he says I can make a touch down every time, it showed he couldn’t show what he could do or be who he truly is because people would find out he’s an alien, but his father told him your meant to do more than throw footballs, man of steel was just depressing and lingered on that point way to long, the director zack Snyder just doesn’t get Superman and he has interviews we’re you can tell, he doesn’t even like the hopeful Superman he’s more into gritty stuff, which means he’s better suited for Batman, not Superman.

@Victory987 2 года назад

@Latest Obsession people seem to forget that the Character has been evolving since day one. I grew up with Reeve's adaptation and it was great for the time. But I do prefer the Man Of Steel, take.

@thechad4485 2 года назад

@Latest Obsession In a way, you’re correct. It showed a character with even greater and even more burdensome flaws. But that character wasn’t Superman or Clark. It abandoned the character completely to create a new character that lacked any of the endearing or intriguing aspects of the character. A character that saves people more out of cynical obligation or selfish desire than out of a genuine love for the people of his adoptive world. By doing so, Zach shot himself in the foot, unintentionally making all of his Christ-allegories and comparisons dead on arrival. Zach is such a talented director, but he really needed a reset of his priorities for the character. I’d love to see him make a Dead-Man or even a Punisher movie.

@5:25 -In the Krypton scenes, the costumes aren’t made of tin foil, they’re made of a special material developed by 3M for movie screens. They were very reflective and were sown together while wearing cotton gloves, because the natural oil from human skin would destroy their reflective quality. The actual shooting involved projecting a white light onto the costumes via a special 45-degree mirror. The costumes would reflect the light, and that’s what gave them their glow.

The Kryptonian outfits were not tin foil... They were made of a specially produced "front projection" screen material that was used for shots of Superman flying. They noticed that at certain angles to the lights the material seemed to glow and decided it would be a neat effect for the Krypton outfits. It's a similar effect to what they used for the original lightsabers in the first Star Wars film before they decided to rotoscope over that with a color effect. They had a motorized spinning rod covered with reflective materiel attached to the handles with a wire hidden in the sleeves of the costumes. It created a white glowing effect but didn't look great, so in post-production they added the hand painted colored effects over top of that. In "The Empire Strikes Back" they just used rotoscoping over the stationary rods.

Oh, this is good. This is really good. Um, Lois, did you know that, in the future, you're revered at the same level as Superman? Why there are books about you, statues, an interactive game. You're even a breakfast cereal. Lois : Really? Tempus : Yes. But, as much as everybody loves you, there is one question that keeps coming up: "How dumb was she?" Here, I'll show you what I mean. Look. [puts glasses on] Tempus : I'm Clark Kent. [Takes glasses off] Tempus : No, I'm Superman. [Puts glasses on] Tempus : Mild-mannered reporter. [Takes glasses off] Tempus : Superhero. Hello! Duh!

I'm rightfully the complete opposite. Superman 1978 is a masterpiece that makes you feel great watching it. So much so that the technical side doesn't matter anymore. Today's superhero landscape, especially the Marvel films are complete and total trash even with the most expensive PS5 cutscenes. Zero heart, no story, obnoxious and smarmy characters...it's a shit show. Avengers Endgame was so fucking terrible that rewatching Superman IV made one realize that even at it's weakest, Reeve's Superman films is still a feel good experience. The MCU and most of the DCEU makes you feel embarrassed just watching it.

An independent studio, Lippert Pictures, released the first Superman feature film, Superman and the Mole Men, starring George Reeves, in 1951.

That's 3M material they were wearing in Krypton. Its naturally dole grey, but when light is shined on it bounces back light at 10X its intensity. The original lightsabers in Star Wars from 1977 (No, I won't call it A New Hope) used this. Worked for the most part, but they wanted some color and rotoscoped it instead from there on.

i really recommend you to watch Smallville. Best Superhero Series ever, best Clark Kent after Mr Reeve, Best Lex Luthor ever (played by Michael Rosenbaum), also Mr Reeve and many other Superman Actors were guest Stars. 10 great Seasons with awesome Storylines and shows how he became the man of Steel.

To save money on production costs parts 1 and 2 were filmed back to back that is why the origin story took so much of part 1

Just subscribed after seeing your reaction. This movie, along with Star Wars, were some of my favorite movies to see as a young kid. Christopher Reeve embodied what I believe is the best of what the character of Superman is. It's great to see someone request this film, and your reactions were amazing. I noticed in a few of the scenes that this version of Superman: The Movie is the Directors' Edition; which had about 22 minutes of footage that had only been seen when the film was broadcast on ABC in 1982 (that version is known as the Extended TV Cut). I'm hoping that when you do get to watching Superman II, that you're seeing the Richard Donner cut.

@YouMeTheMovies 2 года назад

Yeah we watched the Extended Special Edition, we have a copy of the 3-hour KCOP TV Cut as well, but she doesn't like long movies so we didn't watch that. We are watching the Richard Donner cut, that will be out Monday. :)

@randall-king 2 года назад

@@YouMeTheMovies I really wish you would watch the theatrical cuts for things, especially Superman II. That’s what everybody saw and is familiar with. Alternate cuts are OK to watch for a second or third viewing after you’ve seen the original. For Superman II, Donner’s vision and style would have made a better movie, but the fact is that he didn’t get the chance. I was part of the letter writing campaign to Warner Bros. to petition in getting the unseen footage from Superman II released. What we got was more than we could have hoped for. The Donner cut is amazing. However, the reuse of the turning back time and the use of the screen tests for part of it make it not ideal for a first viewing. Regardless of your decision, I love your channel. You’re one of my favorites along with Popcorn in Bed.

@jedijones 2 года назад

@@randall-king We have to get PIB to watch Superman also. Superman reactions are the best! 😃 I agree that watching Superman II theatrical is best, but since this is a reaction channel, it's good from a scientific perspective to see how someone reacts to seeing the Donner Cut first.

@randall-king 2 года назад

@@jedijones I’ve seen one reactor do it, and they were confused by the ending. They had no context to understand why he turned back the world again. Without knowing the history of how those two movies were made, one would have to assume that the filmmakers couldn’t come up with anything good for Part II and just reused the gag from Part I. It seems like poor writing if you don’t know why it’s that way. I agree about PIB and am all for more reactors doing these Reeve Superman movies.

The reason that Christopher Reeve is the greatest Superman is the way he played Clark Kent. Just watch the scene where he almost tells Lois his secret, his voice, posture, personality, and total body language changes. Henry Cavill makes a good Superman but he plays Clark as the exact same guy but in a suit and glasses.

@Kayoss13212 2 года назад

Agreed. With Reeve, you can kinda believe that Clark and Superman are two different people, but with Cavill, and maybe they didn’t want to overdue it with him being clumsy or goofy, but he doesn’t make it a point to act differently. And that’s often been kind of the charm of heroes like Superman or Spider-Man.

@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps 2 года назад

Personally I would have brought back an old obscure superpower so whenever Henry Cavill's version is photographed or around people who's around both his alter egos he "super-tightens" his facial muscles to slightly alter his features in two different ways. So the glasses add to this illusion. They could also do this thing where Kent often has a five o'clock shadow but Superman never does and leave it for the audience to speculate how he does that.
