Superman (1978)

The idea of comic book stories being told seriously had not yet caught on, I see. This feels so much like a cartoon version of the story, but it's not completely consistent. At times it's working hard to be taken seriously, and then it turns around and has a moment of cartoon slapstick comedy. It was a fairly entertaining watch, but the uber cheesy dialogue and odd tone keep me from saying it's really a good movie. 3.5 stars.
