No it hasn't, really hard question- maybe needs it's own thread

Nope, it’s Kidder.

It's Reeve. Right here. I feel bad. This scene is such a high bar.

The other thing that hasn't been mentioned about Reeve's performance is the effortless way he transitions from flying to walking and vice versa. It's so utterly natural in body language that he sells it every time, regardless of the more primitive effects.

I dunno. Teri Hatcher, who can be exhausting in nearly everything else (well, other than Seinfeld), was pretty great as well.

Boy, he really resembles Cavill there when he takes his glasses off and fantasizes about telling Lois for a second.

I agree she got the sassy, hard-nosed, pulitzer prize winning reporter downpat, even inside the rom-com style show. Margot Kidder did too, but her clumsy, goofy side was a bit distracting.
Also a nod to Phyllis Coates from the early b&w serials

Kidder is good, but in the way she's portrayed she really takes peril-friendliness to an extreme. It feels like she wouldn't last three days in a world where Superman didn't exist.

This whole movie... what could've been. I always love going back and listening to Kevin Smith tell this story on An Evening with Kevin Smith.

What could go wrong on a movie where the writing was being guided by a man who started out as Barbara Streisand's hairdresser? I think the three rules were: Superman can't fly in the movie. The suit had to go, because it was too... I won't use the slur Peters used, but it's the one you're probably now thinking of. And, third, Superman has to fight a spider in Act III. ... at least Smith changed it in the script to a Thanagarian Snare Beast.

It's worth noting, Peters did at least get his Act III spider fight in a movie: Wild Wild West.
