Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Supermen Donuyur is quite possibly the greatest film ever, a towering artistic achievement that would make Kubrick hang his head in shame. Everything about this film is flawless, from the magnificent special effects, to the wondrous performances from leading man Tayfun Demir and Yildirim Gencer. To say that this film is not worth 10/10 is in my mind blasphemy, and will be punishable my death when I establish my Reich. Writing a review of this film is pointless, as no words can describe the artistry behind the cinematography, and the genius behind the camera, who must be Jesus to produce something as mind-bogglingly vast in scope, an intergalactic adventure that will take the viewer from the planet Krypton to Earth without leaving any doubt in the the audiences mind that the camera has travelled the light years between us. This is the standard of special effects we are talking about, the kind of visual feast that would cause Alfonso Cuarons eyes to pop out of his head. And to think this film was released in the 70's. Our current "Directors" have a long way to go to match this. In conclusion Supermen Donuyur cannot be described in words, as to do so would be an insult to the wondrous creation of Jesus and his crew of angel film school graduates.

Really don't know why they are "trying to" copy the originals but it was very common in Turkish cinema.I didn't have the opportunity to watch this "SUPERMEN" but frankly I have to see it. I know for sure that it will almost look, sound and feel like crap when I watch it.Also there is another one. The copy of "The Woman In Red" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088414/) was shot by us (Turks). In fact, I have to tell the truth, I almost liked our version better. Again it was a copy but some of the scenes and especially the attitudes of people has been made compatible with our culture. This way, it feels closer if you are a cheater or have been cheated :) (I still know that it is disrespectful to the original)Anyhow, the "SUPERMEN" is E.T. living in Metropolis and a comic hero which anyone even shouldn't try to apply for other locations or origins. I have seen many movies (but not this one) similar to this copy and they are mostly full of dirt.

I have watched this movie twice and I can't believe my eyes yet! It is amazing , absolutely enjoyable from the beginning to the end , I think is the best blockbuster movie of the year.No doubt.The visual effects. Perhaps the best special effects I've ever seen in a movie.The sound design. The sound effects complement the action perfectly making everything twice as exciting.Spiderman 3 , Pirates 3 , Transformers or even Harry Potter 5 hasn't surprised me as "Supermen Donuyor" did. And the best is that I wasn't expecting something like that at all... funny , full of action and with great performances from the actors.(Adi gibi super film)

Yes, this film is so bad in so many ways it's hilarious.I don't want to delve to the already mentioned special effect or the craptastic actors / editing / everything. Suffice it to say that this film excels in absolutely nothing and looks more of a home video filmed probably in the film makers' homes and offices with zero budget.What interests me more was the blatant disregard for copyrights: Not just the use of Superman character, but also the soundtrack which consisted of the original Superman theme with a couple themes ripped from James Bond films. The best part (for me) was the use of Giorgio Moroder's Oscar-winning theme from "Midnight Express", a film which portrayed Turks in a bad light. Were the film makers unaware of that and they just liked the song? Funny, whatever the answer is! If copyrights were not a problem, why didn't they just show a bootleg and dub it in Turkish? Of course the original didn't have actors with Turkish amounts of mustache, but I can't really come up with other reasons.This film also raises the questions whether it had wide release in Turkey, what did Turks think of it (then and now), and whether it was aimed for children - little kids' films can be flimsy efforts and some of the criticism would thus be moot.
