Superman 1979 movie theater/cinema?passions soap opera

It was Super; I was a young child %26amp; left the movie talking Superman This %26amp; That. I was stoked. I saw it in a theater; I saw Star Wars at the Drive-In. I know that the theater was better for me. I remeber that many people clapped at the end %26amp; that practice of movie going has faded away with the mediocrity of the last decades.

i was only 6 but i can still remember the excitement of my dad taking me to a drive in, it was probably the cheap movie, to see it. it's an experience that i will keep with me alway's.
was a wonderful film on the big screen, but, when star wars came out in 77 that had to top them all in the era
Sure I remember seeing "Superman" when it came out. I thought it was ok. The music was impressive, but the story got boring when Clark Kent was a teen. After he becomes Superman, things were kinda mixed, part humor (thanks to Ned Beatty) and part action. I am not certain if I bought the ending or not but then again I was only 11.

Overall, it did not have a huge impact for me. I recall thinking "Star Wars" was a lot better and that "Flash Gordon" was a lot more fun. To be honest, I was more impressed with the sequel, "Superman II."
Compared to the latest movies with digital special effects? I would say that the 1979 Superman movie was crude or let's say remedial at best. But I was young then and I still remember that incredible feeling of amazement watching him fly on the screen, with John Williams' exhilarating soundtrack. It wasn't actually only the movie that makes it a memorable. It was also the viewer (me) who was a that time saving up coins for ticket, popcorn and coke on a summer vacation wanting to finally watch his favorite comic book hero on screen. Still got my superman comics under the bed. Summer day + boyhood fascination + superhero movie with crude special effects = one great childhood memory.
