Director Richard Donner’s Superman: The Movie, which premiered in 1978, is a classic piece of cinema that continues to shape the superhero genre today. Most recently, it led the way for writer-director James Gunn to release Superman, a more modern imagining of the Man of Steel’s adventures, with David Corenswet portraying the titular hero.

James Gunn's "Superman" proves to be a movie ripped straight from a comic book in tone, humor and action. It's worth a watch, George Thomas writes.

Now that Superman is finally back in theaters, it’s time to revisit his old adventures.
