I watched this in my early teens, when it first came out in the cinema and thoroughly enjoyed it. However having watched Superman The Movie, a couple of years earlier my biggest disappointment was the tongue in cheek approach and how the subject matter wasn't taken seriously. I largely blame this on it's English director. I thank god, another English director, Guy Hamilton, backed out of directing STM, because from all accounts, he wanted to approach Superman's first feature length cinema outing in a similar silly fashion. As for Flash, it's a fantastic piece of cinema, far more entertaining than many of today's blockbusters and has one of the most famous lines in cinema history.
