Read the Graphic Novel, Skip the Movie
The graphic novel is great, it's a tighter story with exceptional artwork and character designs, I just love the Superman I + II film references including the Christopher Reeve Margot Kidder designs. It's only 5 issues long so it's a quick read, the film even changed some parts of the story I thought were better in the comics. Ok I don't really mean to say skip the movie, but reading the comics in conjunction with the film makes you appreciate it alot more. I don't really enjoy Superman stories a whole lot but this one might be my favorite all time.
