Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Zbigniew_Krycsiwiki Gang of thugs are after the mysterious piece of green, glowing rock known as "Krypton stone", which is the last remaining piece of Planet Krypton, and which this film tells us can turn any ordinary metal into gold when used in the correct formula. It's up to 1979 Turkish Superman (in a surprisingly well made costume) to foil their plans.1979 Turkish Superman is technically inept, and obviously filmed on no budget, (the opening uses Christmas lights and decorations against black curtains to simulate planet Krypton and deep space, while an off-screen narrator tells us what we've missed: "gasses that mixed suddenly caused explosions and wiped it out of the Universe.") and that's a shame, because I think this film has the best story out of the trio of Superman ripoffs I've watched lately. It has a fun, Z- movie vibe to it, which elevates it, and at only 65 minutes, it's over and done with quickly, compared to the other films' 123, and 135 minutes run time. Toward the end, there is also a good showdown on a viaduct, a confrontation which results in one of the villains plunging to his death.Tayfun Demir does fairly well as Turkish Superman, he has a good build, and handles himself well in the action scenes, intently staring at people with his cold, piercing blue/ grey eyes, before kicking massive amounts of ass. Seriously, this guy seems more like The Terminator, than Superman, and he looks a lot like B.J.Turner, from 1988's Scarecrows.I genuinely enjoyed this one, and not in a "so bad it's good" way.

samthecam 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.

terri-156 Turkish filmmakers, it seems, have little respect for copyright laws. They tend to rip off Hollywood blockbusters with no compunction, yet what results is reminiscent of what Jack Black and pals threw together in "Be Kind, Rewind." "Supermen donuyor" (Superman Returns), filmed not long after the first Christopher Reeve epic, retells the familiar story of the Man of Steel, here played by an actor who looks like Charlie Sheen with acromegaly. Krypton, and its place in space, is represented by undisguised Christmas-tree ornaments. Clark Kent, here called Tayfun (pronounced Typhoon), tearfully parts with his adoptive parents after he finds a sea-green paperweight and, in a cave, discovers the spirit of his dad Jor-el (played by an actor dressed like Marlon Brando in "Superman: The Movie"), who informs Tayfun he is ready to fulfill his destiny as Superman, complete with the wisdom of Solomon, strength of Hercules... wait a minute, folks, you've got your Shazam in my Superman! Tayfun suddenly finds himself in the familiar Super-uniform (looking spectacularly un-buff) and takes for the sky. Oh boy, does he! I can't contain my laughter as his flight is represented by a Superman doll dangling in front of a rear projection screen.Mild mannered Clark, er, Tayfun finds employment at what is apparently the Istanbul Daily Planet, attempting to get to first base with Lois, er, Alev, while using his X-ray vision to check out the underwear of random ladies in the hall. The while, a downright colorless villain plots to steal the "Krypton stone" (what they call Kryptonite) and use it in a machine that transforms objects into gold. Said stone, in possession of a scientist (who happens to be Lois/Alev's father), is identical to the paperweight Tayfun has.I won't spoil it for you - this must be seen to be disbelieved.Forget about "Sweded" films - I love 'em "Turked"!

crooow Anyone familiar with Turkish cinema(at least the ones that have made it over here) know that Turkish remakes of popular American films are made with an extremely low budget and are filled with footage and music stolen shamelessly from the source material. "Turkish Superman" is no exception.The plot generally follows the greatly superior 1978 version, but with numerous corners cut that are just plain laughable. For instance, the film opens in outer space. It's clearly Christmas ornaments hanging from strings in front of a black screen covered in glitter. The most-used and funniest example is watching Superman fly. A doll is held in front of the camera while stock footage is used over and over again in the background.As for the acting, I really can't fully comment, since I don't know Turkish. But the actor who plays Superman appears to be competent, and pulls off dual personas of Superman and Clark Kent. Superman in this film is quite mean. He is indirectly responsible for the deaths of three villains(for example, he throws a henchman into a wall, where he is impaled by an extended pipe).The only disappointing aspect of this film that renders it a cut below its fellow Turkish remakes is a bland, generic super villain that bears no resemblance to Lex Luthor. Still, for the no-budget visuals and eye-popping incompetence, "Turkish Superman" is worth a look for Superman fans or fans of bad cinema.
