I fully expect to be told how wrong I am (since Reeve seems to have become iconic in the role), but I could never understand casting Christopher Reeve as Superman, Marlon Brando as Jor-El and Margot Kidder as Lois Lane in Superman (1978): what were they thinking???  So Kidder's hair was the right colour and Reeve's facial profile looked the part?  Ish. Just Ish.  They did better with the villains.

That's a tough one for me, having grown up watching those movies. They just seem natural in the roles. I will say that the two actors who stood above the rest, for me, were Gene Hackman as Luthor and Jackie Cooper as Perry White. Cooper was a great fit for White, and Hackman as Luthor was the best thing in the first two movies.

The casting of Marlon Brando puzzles me to this day. I guess he was OK, but I just can't see him being on the list of people to call when you're casting Kryptonians.

I was actually ok with Reeve as Superman.  I also felt he played a good Clark Kent.  I do not however agree with Margot Kidder as Lois Lane.  She wasn't cute or even likeable in the character.   Oh and Hackman did rock.

Totally agree.
Reeve was awesome as Superman and Hackman was great as Luthor.

I've never understood how Margot Kidder got the role of Lois Lane.
Even when I was a kid I wondered what people saw in her.
All those women on earth and Superman chose HER???
Yeah, she was definitely miscast as Lois Lane.

When I watch the Superman movies nowadays, I always think Margot Kidder looks like she'd taste like cigarettes if I kissed her.
