World Margot Kidder is Sooo Awesome!!!!

[MargotFan]

Margot's Lois Lane has always been my favorite. And now having watched her in Superman 2:The Richard Donner Cut, all I can say is she is amazing. Lois was so funny in this movie and so smart. And she just steals all the scenes she is in. She makes Kate Bosworth look like a joke.

I quite liked Kate Bosworth, but you're right, Margot Kidder has always been my favourite Lois Lane and this is arguably her best performance.

Yeah it is a toss up between Margot and Erica Durance. I think Erica looks like she stepped off the page and has the same spunk that Lois did. Kind of sad that they turned her into a f'up and not the driven woman that she has always been in Smallville, but oh well. But yeah, Margot definately kics ass in this. Well she should have. She was directed by Donner.

 

[Guyverjay]

Erica Durance is nothing like Lois Lane at all imo

 

[MargotFan]

I think Margot has the perfect wit and timing. And she has that manic drive that Lois Lane is known for.

I always thought that Kate Bosworth's version of Lois was a more believable result of Erica's performance on "Smallville". Plus, the two actresses look quite a bit alike, so it works...

I think it's impossible to have a perfect version of Lois from the comics, because she has changed utterly over the years. She began as the ultimate naive, helpless damsel-in-distress, she's been a gun-packing martial artist army brat, and everything in between.

I find Teri Hatcher in the pilot of Lois & Clark, before she got too comedic, to be the best screen portrayal so far.

Really? Interesting. I always felt that Teri Hatcher was the HOTTEST Lois Lane while Margot Kidder gave the BEST performance.

 

[CGHulk]

Margo acting performance in The Donner Cut put her on top as the best!

 

[MargotFan]

I totally agree with your statement, even though she has always been no. 1 to me.

 

[Catman]

I totally agree with your statement, even though she has always been no. 1 to me.

Agreed. I always felt she gave the best performance. Her only flaw was that she wasn't attractive enough. In Superman III she looked like crap standing next to Annette O'Toole.

Teri certainly was a sexy Lois, no question. I found her more believable as a top journalist because she had the single-minded, aggresive attitude. You could believe she went out and got great stories everyday.

True, but the same could be said about Margot and Noel.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

True, but the same could be said about Margot and Noel.

Not to the extent Hatcher did. Kidder's Lois seemed to ditzy (I hate that word) and scatterbrained. Hatcher's Lois was obsessed with getting the top stories at any cost, at the expense of everything including her social life.

 

[MargotFan]

Margot certainly was SEXY and ATTRACTIVE enough. This is what drew me to her at first. If anyone else can't see that that's their problem. Annette O Toole is not sexy to me. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I like what I behold in Margot -- even when I met her a year ago.

 

[Catman]

Annette O Toole is not sexy to me.

I lost respect for you. Annette looks like crap now but back then she was super hot.

 

[Hades]

Isn't she bi-polar?

 

[Catman]

Yes.

 

[animexcel]

i've met Margot Kidder a year and a half ago, too bad i didn't get a picture with her. I think she did a nice job with the role, Kate was ok..but her forehead, Superman could regain his strength from that instead.

 

[buggs0268]

Margot kicked ass in it. I like her delivery of "That is a great idea chief!", And when she mimicks him after he says you think I am Superman and does that hand thing. I also like the way she says "North Pole!" at the end.

 

[MargotFan]

IU loved those lines too!

 

[Mentok]

Never really liked Kidder... Infact, I hated her in the Superman films.

 

[ReeveFan1978]

I thought Margot looked terrific and was terrific in Donner cut. The Lester cut--esp the orange juice scene, she looks too thin and seems ditzy. (Maybe her meds, who knows.)

But there's no uniformity to her look because the scenes were filmed months apart.

I always thought she looked absolutely the best in the scene where the 3 take over the Planet offices.

As to her performance, it was dead on. Perfect Lois Lane. Kate B. was dull as dishwater. No drive, no spunk. Even when she went after lex (with jason in the car), she could have been taking a walk in the part for all the ambition portrayed.

I sure hope there's a new Lois in the next movie and a better script. Really, when it comes down to it, the script of SR was pretty poor. (I didnt believe most of the dialogue. Like when White is comparing Clark's height, weight etc. to Superman,. You'd think Lois would have said "I used to think Clark was Superman all the time back then."
But it played like this was the first time. And we all KNOW better.

PS Teri was super as Lois until the last year or so. She is my favorite Lois because she physically looks like I always pictured Lois to look. (Until she cut her hair and also, looked too thin.)

In both Superman 1 and 2 Margot did a GREAT job portraying Lois Lane. They got lazy and silly in Superman 3 and 4 and just made her seem more like Margot Kidder than Lois Lane. I only wish that Donner had directed all of the Superman movies. Can I spin the world around backwards and turn back time so that Donner was never fired and see what a great collection of Superman movies we would have today with him having been behind all the films?? LOL.

 

[GreenKToo]

I agree.I never liked her either.
