A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Blistering performances.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Originally made as a film, and as touted, the first full length Superman movie, this was folded into the following series. Done seriously and well directed, Lois Lane and Clark Kent are sent to Oklahoma where strange occurrences are taking place at a new oil well. Turns out they've tapped into a civilization at the center of the earth. This is really classic Superman. He uses his powers wisely and protects humans and the little creatures. One of the best, if the show had remained this serious, I'd have liked it more.

When underground beings explore the surface world from a deep oil well and inadvertantly cause a panic, only Superman can prevent a tragedy. Superman and the Mole-Men is packed with cartoony effects of the time, terrible acting and some of the dumbest humans i have ever seen in movie history, we don't even see him flying for god shakes the camera is like first person instead of 3rd one except one scene where he saves one of the mole men. Overall one of DC's absolute worst films and one huge waste of time and except an alright perfomance from George Reeves the film is just ridiculous. (2/10)

First Superman movie, and probably the first superhero movie at all, is complete crap. There are just two positive sides to it. Acting is relatively good and there is bunch of experienced faces for B production movie. Bunch of them you can see in A production movies which is rare. Second good thing is message that it sends against racism, guns and oil exploitation. Other than that this movie is total failure. Fact that it's made almost 70 years ago isn't valid excuse for any of its flaws. Screenplay is one of the very worst I have ever seen. Not only full of holes but extremely stupid as well. Costumes, effects and complete production are terrible. Light years below average even for B production of 50's. This is probably the lowest budgeted thing I ever saw. If you think I am exaggerating, feel free to watch Batman from 1943. Eight years older and still much better in every possible way. I do not recommend this even to hard core DC fans. Complete waste of time.

This was included in a boxed set of "The Adventures of Superman." If one is not perceptive, he might think it was part of the series. It is not but it fits nicely into the whole thing. Some miners have invaded an underground society where "mole people" live. They are odd looking little guys who really mean no harm. They are merely trying to survive and have been threatened. They could be obliterated because the miners decide to kill any of these creatures that make an appearance. This is a job for Superman as we hear so many times later. He steps forward and challenges anyone who threatens the little guys. If this was an audition for the series, George Reeves did a good job as the benevolent Man of Steel.
