The movie that brought the man of steel alive in 1978 is Superman, which starred Christopher Reeve. The two Superman films received both great box-office success and critical praise.

I can’t think of any film these days that are able to combine the special and the magic effects and the story that sparks the imagination as much as the original Superman movies did. Sure, the effects seem tacky compared to today’s CGI effects and animations. But it was advanced for its time!
