@Graeme McFee Are you referring to people who bash with Bibles, or people like you who bash Bible believers? Justin Jack was just being honorable to Mr. Reeve in his own way. Even the idea of Superman is implicitly Messianic. On the first page of a Superman comic where he had died there were the words, "Once upon a time, there was a perfect man who came from the sky and did only good." Jor-El sending his only son to Earth to be its greatest hero easily could be inferred to the idea of Jesus Christ, or at least to Christians and some Jews, the coming Messiah. The concept of an ideal person to look up to and emulate is a strong and noble thing to believe, admitting that you are not perfect and striving to be better is a very sensible frame of mind, if not likewise honorable.

@Graeme McFee Naw, it's just a glitch in Facebook kept me from seeing the additional posts. As for fantasy, the idea of the Biblical God is actually very scientifically sustainable. The idea that the Bible has hundreds of historical and scientific inaccuracies as far as I can see falls short, as I have myself studied hundreds, and have resolved at least 90% percent of them, some of the remaining I have asked actual professionals and they were able to clarify the inconsistencies. The hateful fantasies ironically seem to be coming from the skeptics.

He was always an optimist, but after his accident he became the living embodiment of what Superman himself represents. Hope. He even said "Once you choose hope, anything is possible", which is definitely something I can picture Superman saying.

This song's 45 years old - let that sink in - and still an absolute fucking inspiration

Superman played by Christopher Reeve, I have so much love for that that I cannot express it. This version really gives me that blue boy scout emotion.

This still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Such an amazing piece of music.

I saw this in the theater as a kid, the music still evokes quite an emotional response. I love you John Williams and thanks.

This is why Christopher reeve will always be my Superman.

I can’t listen to this without tearing up.

That movie was a huge success because of 2 people. John Williams and Christopher Reeve. Williams, in my opinion, did his best work for the Superman movie, and Christopher Reeve was the best actor ever to play the iconic role. He is, and will forever be, the benchmark that all actors who play Superman are judged against. No other actor, who's played a super hero, is so overwhelmingly agreed upon by the majority of people to be the best. If you ask people who the best Batman was, you'll get a bunch of different answers. You ask who was the best Superman, and 90% say Reeve. I think the next closest person would be Robert Downey Jr., as Iron Man. Nobody will ever play Iron Man better than Downey Jr. I know this is my opinion, by I think most people would agree. It would have been so cool if Christopher Reeve could have played the part with today's special effects. Given the fact that the original Superman movie still holds water today, despite the use of 70's special effects, is because of Reeve.

Thomas Fleig Reeve was an incredible Superman and will always be the best Superman, but what really makes Reeve stand out the most is his Clark Kent. Anyone can play Superman to an extent but only Reeve can convince you he’s Clark Kent.

3PiecesOfBread I agree, it was like he was 2 different people. His height changed, his posture, his mannerisms , his speech,, his personality. It was magical. He was even able to bring it to all of the sequels. The only other person that I have seen act with such brilliance was James McAvoy in Split, an excellent movie that I am positive Reeve would have pulled off with flying colours. What an amazing actor who passed well before his time. Rest In Peace Mr Reeve, you truly are one of a kind and you were a real life hero to boot.

John Williams' movie compositions are epic and known all over the world! He is a modern day Mozart or Beethoven! Superman, Jaws, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, all of these themes are amazing pieces of music!

Thank you maestro John Williams for the timeless Superman theme. He composed this during what I call the golden years, from 1977-1983, when he was on a roll and wrote one masterpiece score after another. @Bennie, you did a good powerful rendition, thanks for your work

This cover takes the Superman theme to a whole new, more powerful level.

Star Wars, Indiana Jones, so many great pieces of music from John Williams. This is, in my opinion, the best of all his work. Chills every time I’ve heard it since I was 4 in the theater believing a man could fly. Williams belongs in the same sentence as Beethoven, Bach, Strauss, and Tchaikovsky.

This was the REAL Superman. I still watch this movie and believe in heroes. R.I.P. Chris Reeve.

Every time I hear the original Superman theme I feel like I could just run out my back door and leap into the sky and fly. It’s so inspirational.

John Williams has made so many incredible, memorable, ICONIC themes, it's really hard to choose just one as a favourite. THIS is the one I choose. Star Wars is perhaps better known, and Raiders of the Lost Ark is utterly wonderful, but THIS is the one that hangs in my head as the most memorable, most iconic, most wonderful piece he has written to date... and you've done complete justice to it.

It is wonderful. When I am flying around I blast it all the time.

I watched these when I was younger with my dad (late 80s early 90s). And hadn't had watched them again till last week. This theme alone made me feel so much nostalgia to the time when I was with my dad. He's no longer with me. He was my superman.

I listen this when I try to remember feelings. I’ve grown so disconnected from the rest of the world. My dogs are aging. They don’t have many years left. I don’t think I do either. I love trying to remember a younger, hopeful Trey. I try to remember the Trey that wanted to help people, that loved humanity and all we can be. It’s harder every day.

Wow, I had kind of forgotten how much I loved this theme. I really like the choral parts added in!

Just when I thought that John William's Superman Main Theme could not be made even better, I am given the majestic Krypton Theme as the perfect introduction to it. Then to give it that subtle choral emphasis, Man of Steel-style. Brilliant. This is magical, thank you!

This mix just makes it sound even bigger than the original. The acoustics and harmonics make it sound like actually you're in movie theater.... This is just simply just EPIC!

Hands down the best Superman theme music!

Outstanding arrangement. It’s exactly how I’ve always wanted it to be-the first part of the Krpyton theme going straight into the Superman march.

Got chills hearing this.This was superman of my childhood.Jhon Williams could knock out of the park.RIP C R.

I know of NO other movie score that was ever used in other movies, or even tv series, on the same subject. That speaks of its effectiveness, its power, and now even 44 years after it first appeared it is still being used in other superman movies. i remember the first movie as clear as day . i turned 20 in 1978 and this was utterly electrifying when i saw it that year

This feels it should be Kingdom Come Superman's theme.
