Gene Hackman brings a perfect blend of ego, brilliance and amorality to Lex Luthor; it certainly looks like he was having a great time throughout the film.
Hackman, Ned Beatty and Valerie Perrine have some very good chemistry in their scenes in Luthor's underground lair, and Jackie Cooper as Perry White holds down the scenes at the Daily Planet quite well.
With few exceptions, this is a story you can believe in, about a hero worth believing in - one that we can use as much in 2002 as we did in 1978.
