We rewatched the first half of the (1978) Superman movie. I forgot how much of a slow burn it starts. It’s 48 minutes before Christopher Reeve shows up on screen. It’s an hour and change before Superman does.

I can tell it’s before PG-13 was invented, because despite the genocide of an entire species or a guy getting run over by a train it’s PG.

I also forgot Mario Puzo (Godfather) was the writer. What a crazy era.
