What Parents Need to Know
About Superman: The Movie
Parents need to know that the first half of this movie drags a little establishing Superman's origins. Many characters are in peril before Superman saves the day, including Lois who is buried alive after an earthquake. Superman can't save his adopted dad from a heart attack, however, and is shown mourning his death. Older kids and preteens who were fans of the 1990s "Superman" TV cartoon will probably be disappointed by the movie's bloated structure, but enjoy the exploits of Lex Luthor and his cohorts. Teen and adult comics fans and those feeling nostalgic for the 1970s may have enough patience for this movie.

Great for younger kids, this movie is really enjoyable and not too graphic with no drugs, drinking, sex or bad language. A really good adaptation.

You and the whole family will soar with fun!
Terrific, and original! Your kids will want to see the Superman movie, for sure. It is one that I would definitely recommend for even younger kids. There is very little language (if any) and the violence is nothing but fun and packed with excitement. There is a bit of sexual references, but nothing your kids cannot be subjected to. A movie I would recommend for everyone! I would rate this movie: PG.
