Roger Ebert, in his review, wrote: "The producers held a worldwide talent search for an actor to play Superman, and this time, for once, they actually found the right guy. He is Christopher Reeve. He looks like the Superman in the comic books, but he's also an engaging actor... Reeve sells the role; wrong casting here would have sunk everything."
