Faye Dunaway's pantomime villain/cougar is a lot of fun, but what holds it all together is Helen Slater’s ability to give the titular character the innocence and naivety she needs to be sympathetic in the alien world.
Helen's months of training on the wire really paid off. When she flies around it's like a dance, full of elegance and grace.

I listened to some of the commentary. It revealed that Superman was in the original script more than once, but all his scenes were cut.
I recall being a "score nerd in training" when they show the pic of Supes on the wall and Jerry Goldsmith quoted John Williams' theme.
I giddied in the pants as a kid...
...who knew?
Smallville did something similar when Reeve appeared as a new character. It was perfect!
Yes! I remember.
By the time I got to Smallville, I was alread a full-fledged score-nerd and got all giddy when Mark Snow quoted Williams' theme, which got progressively more obvious as Clark discovered more and more.
