I hear you guys! I remember seeing Superman ( this one) at the movies back then. Man, that was so COOL to the 20th degree! I love how super man out smarted Zod. Plus, crushing that idiot villan's hand. Only Superman knows that place inside/out. His father constructed, through a blue print, the fortress of solitude, to fit his son's understanding. Lois gave a great knock down punch. 👊

Actually I never understood why Luther would decide to side with the villains against Superman. The only reason they did not kill him earlier in the movie is because they needed his help to find Superman. The moment Superman's powers are gone and he no longer is a threat for the villains, Luther would become an instant liability. Someone like Zod would kill him right there, knowing well that Luther, if spared, would cause trouble for him in the long run. So, the smart move for Luther would be to help Superman get rid of the villains, because Superman would never kill a human being, no matter how evil he / she is....

I'm not a lawyer but it seems to me like Lois basically committed murder when she did that. But sure,punching Ursa would definitely be satisfying.Earlier in the movie,Ursa tries to pull a guilt-trip on Superman and make him feel bad for almost punching her and for hitting a woman. To be clear,I DON'T condone hitting women but if she's an super-powered,evil alien villain who is part of a group that wants to take over the world,sure,I think using violence against her is acceptable! Ha! Ha! I think that qualifies as the right time for a man to start throwing punches at women...and I'm sure even OTHER women would agree! Ha! Ha! Some people like to say that violence is NEVER the answer but that's not really true.It's not true in a fictional Super Hero movie and it's certainly not true in real life,either.

I first saw this movie when I was around 4 or 5. The scene on the Moon where the Kryptonians kill the astronauts caught me completely off-guard, and I was terrified of them for the rest of my viewing (and I distinctly remember having a nightmare about at least Ursa coming after me later that night). I can't tell you how glad I was to see them _finally_ get their comeuppance here.

@@Goldenbane I was never too frightened of the villains in this film. Superman 3 REALLY scared me. Like, the whole film, but especially the computer scene, and the woman being turned into the cyborg. I think I still have a latent fear of electrical equipment because of that film! Gremlins terrified me too. Ghostbusters (especially the library ghost and the terror dogs). The aliens in Cocoon also used to freak me out. But the scariest things for me as a kid were children's TV shows - a British show called Choky, and a NewZealand show called Children of the Dog Star - both about alien creatures communicating with children.

As a child of the 70's and 80's, I got the extreme pleasure of seeing 1 & 2 in the theaters. Although limited at the time by the technology available to them, these are, in my opinion, the two best super hero movies ever made. They showed just how great superhero movies can and should be; Solid script, good acting and continuity of the storyline. I know they don't have the special effects and CGI that DC and Marvel have now but without these two movies I don't think Marvel would have had the success it enjoys so much now. Truly remarkable movies.

I get that Superman was special, but I think you're viewing it with nostalgia. There is a huge appetite for superhero movies, provided they are good and satisfying; and there were less well received movies in every decade. Even the later Superman (Christopher Reeve) movies had lower ratings than the first few, IIRC. I think it's a good thing there are more superhero movies - actors do age, so you don't get that same continuity if they're not on the screen with a new plot, and the movies need a reboot every decade. Also, it does help with tying in different superheroes like in Justice League and The Avengers - this allows them to have far bigger storylines and epics

My first Superman was the cartoon version on Super Friends, voiced by Danny Dark. And I noticed that their version of Robin sounded just like Shaggy on Scooby-Doo. That taught me to read the credits, and, sure enough, Casey Kasem did both.

@fivestarman5130 Great post. I would like to add that I assume Stamp's Zod (which emodied so well the Silver Age villain which was the refernece at the time) and Zone mates died falling into the crevice. Very anti climatic ending for a great villain and his posse. Too good of a villain to not have as recurring. So Snyder doing the same but different I never understood the hate and criticism if that is how it was done in SM II. However those people's reference of Zod was Post Infinite Crisis, and Zod was reintorduced and a main villain of SM and was not killed off but always sent to the PZ, and those who remembered Silver Age (Pre Crisis OIE) Zod, never saw that happen either. So there is that. But if the crevice was not deep (foggy so you don't know) they could have survived, lingering as mere humans to find a way to reactavte their powers again (which is what happened when they tried to reintroduce Zod after Post Crisis OIE).

Terrence Stamp has had a long career, before and after this. He was very good in this role. And in real life, his hand wasn't crushed, it was just sound effects and Chris was just squeezing his hand regularly while Terry screamed in pain.

And you'd think, OK, a bit harsh but he deserved some kind of consequences for his actions so he probably won't ever be able to use that hand again since the bones were pulverized.... but then Superman just cold blood executes him.

This is a man that likely hasnt felt real pain in a very long time, and the first pain he feels is probably the most excruciating pain he could possibly feel of every bone in his hand being turned to dust.

1980: Zod is powerless therefore he can be easily arrested by police. There's no need to kill him. 2013: Zod is as strong as Kal(maybe stronger since he's a godamn General of Kryptonian army). Kill him is necessary because he's capable to destroy the entire earth and *he intend to do it* Stupid fans logic: I hate MoS because he kill Zod. *Zod is powerless* , don't kill him Superman, you're not a murderer.

Staring from 2:28: years ago my brother and I acted out this scene in the car while my mom was driving. We did everything from the sound effects to imitating Zod's scream and me flying to the windshield. My mom yelled at us pretty good and made us sit separately. Ah memories.. 😂😂😂
