Summary
OK, it's time for the one that's going to get me in trouble. This movie is beloved. I have friends who claim this is their favorite movie. Recently, Margot Kidder who played Lois Lane passed away and social media was filled with tributes to her portrayal of Lois Lane... I hated it. I hated it when I was seven years old. I hated it as a kid when it replayed on television. Here in 2018 when it has been years since I saw it I resolved to watch it with a fresh set of eyes and... I hated it. I did think Christopher Reeve was the best Superman to date and I don't see how anyone will ever beat him as Superman but I hate everything else about this movie.
