Superman (1978)

 Second viewing; first viewing of the director's cut; previously viewed in 1979 (I think).

An extraterrestrial is sent to Earth when his home planet is about to explode. He is endowed with super-strength and other superpowers. He gets a job as a reporter, while keeping his real identity hidden.

This is a parody (if I may use that word) of the Christ story. The necessary changes were made to make it more, say, palatable to modern audiences.

Rating: 58 (unchanged)
