Yup. Yup. I’ve seen this twice and it killed me both times but also so inspirational. All the people he’s helped even now years after his passing. He really is Superman
Christopher reeve also appeared in Smallville I as a 6 year old kid to seeing him in Smallville made me happy and sad especially hearing when he died 😞 god bless our superman and may you fly into the heaven with all of our blessings with your friend Robin Williams who also made me believe I can fly with my first ever seeing Peter pan.
😢 This is Superman, Christopher Reeves was the man of hope, I will never forget his legacy, the excellent performance, what a great actor, may he rest in peace 🕊️ He's going to give people's hope to all of eternity ❤️ 👏👏👏👏👏
I purposefully traveled to another city here in Portugal to watch this because it wasnt airing in my cinema! It was a life time experience and I took a friend that knew nothing about Crhistopher Reeve nor his Sups and we were both sobbing hard watching it 😭 so glad you guys got the chance to react to it!
Superman spins around Earth so fast that he managed to reverse time itself just to save Lois from the perils looks really cool and still holds up now. After all, he's faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and can leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Christopher and Dana Reeve and their advocacy and research is the reason my uncle is still here today. That stem cell research Christopher was so about is exactly what my uncle had for over 2 years. And while he will never be able to walk again, the trials and effects of the stem cell treatment he was given gave him movement and feeling back to many of his nerves. He has an easier time moving his arms and upper body, despite not having any function in his legs. I can never truly thank the work the foundation has done for the spinal injury community, for the entire community as a whole really. Truly has given a new life to so many people and hope to even more.

Last week i was having a horrible week mentally. My 3rd xmas since my mom passed. Just killed my spirit & i just went home after work & laid in bed. But i watched this & it spoke as in your problems are nothing. And even tho im still feeling a dark cloud is above me im powering thru. All i got is my & my dad.
Just wanna say as someone whose never really watched or liked much superman content or no much about the actor behind it but damn have yall slam dunked and got me sobbing watching this and his connection to robin willams and all the change he’s done throughout the world 😭😭🙌❤️❤️❤️ Also you definitely need to do more documentary reactions
What a beautiful movie. I knew next to nothing about Christopher Reeve before watching this and was blown away it. This is a top ten movie of the year for me!
I love the documentary film super/man the christopher reeve story❤🦸♂️❤and it was Amazing it's not only about the actor who played superman but also the tragedy that christopher reeve and his family have been through since the accident and the lose to such an iconic and a fantastic actor RIP christhoper reeve😢😢
I saw this in theatres the week of Christopher Reeve's birthday ... cried in the theatres and broke down a few times just re-watching this along with y'all.
He was more than an actor. He was superman to us all. Just as Adam West was batman. They knew what it meant to be a hero and conducted themselves as such in public for us all. I still feel this sadness in a way. We were all shocked and prayed for him.
42:20 When my son got a spinal cord injury from a fall at home in 2009 and became a paraplegic, I read a ton of information about the Christopher Reeve Foundation. He was at the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington DC. He was 6 at the time and is 21 and a senior in college now. Love you guys even more for reacting to this!
I don't care what people think or say Christopher Reeve was and will always be Superman he channels the characteristics of character and he's the one who made everyone believe a man can fly he brought strength and he fought for a long time during his injury. He and Robin Williams were great with each other Reeves comedy was on point and he's the one who made superhero movies for what they are today
An amazing , inspiring, heartbreaking, sometimes terrifying and ultimately beautiful story about a beautiful man and his beautiful family. Other actors may play Superman, but Christopher Reeve WAS Superman, onscreen and off.
I think I speak for a lot of Rejects when I say working documentaries into the lineup of reactions is definitely a YES! Also, as a child, Reeve was the only Superman for my entire family and we all loved him and his movies. My mother cried when she found out he passed away. Thank you for watching this and sharing your reactions. Lastly, I think Henry Cavil’s Superman is very close Reeve’s in that both the actor and character Cary themselves with such grace and professionalism. Not to mention the amount of reverence that Cavil has for source material in whatever role he’s playing, which is such a reassuring thing in today’s world.
I’ve been rewatching Smallville and I just got to the part where his character passes away and this shit killed me man. If we could all be half the person he was the things we could do as a people.
Considering this was "only" a documentary, it's better edited, paced, and put together than any other movie this year. I was not bored or distracted for a single moment watching this movie, and I can't say that about many movies.
This was incredible to watch! I knew almost knowing about Christopher. His story is powerful, nonetheless. Also, I believe this is the first time I’ve seen Aaron cry. I hope all is well, my friend. Keep inspiring!
Chris Reeve is my Jesus. His inspiration has saved me from my depression more times than i can count. He's definitely the man i try to be. I highly recommend checking out his autobiography "Still Me" (much of the docs narration is pulled from Chris reading the audiobook)
I already grew up with Christopher Reeves story so I know it going to break me. Plus I had a major crush on him as Superman, and it hurt me when he got hurt 😢❤❤
This documentary definitely deserves an Oscar nomination & win for Best Documentary. Chris will always be our real Superman. Wish that he had never rode on that horse 😢. I also wished that his wife Dana never had cancer. R.I.P. Chris and Dana and Brooke Ellison ❤ I’m glad that the 3 kids (no longer kids but adults now) are continuing the Christopher & Dana Reeves Foundation, and that Will is NOW a news reporter at ABC
Thanks for this reaction. Don't know if I could handle this movie but I love documentaries. One of my favs in relatively recent years was an award-nominated (or winning?) doc called " Searching for Sugarman ". It has incredible music from a legendary rock star (or wannabe) who according to lore took his own life on stage due to his music career failures. The documentarians investigate to find out if this really happened or not. Won't say what they discover but I will say it's very much worth a watch and reaction.
As someone who has a spinal cord injury myself, unfortunately all people who have had this injury feel all those things. We go through all those thoughts like Christopher did. It took me over a year to walk the stage at my graduation after my injury. I’m now 9 years independent on my own fully, now learning to drive again after 14 years. It is crazy to look back on all that of what I was going through to where I’m at now. I don’t regret it all, though the side effects are still hard and troublesome to deal with on a daily basis but damn did it show me how real people were
This was about the most tragic family story ending to a certain degree for this family not only that their dad passed away but a year and a half later their mom got sick and slowly passed away, so outside of us as fans who had great respect for the Reeves organization for their charity workthe fact that we lost both of them so soon was devastating let alone for the family because it was just one tragedy right after the other
So happy he started getting movement back. It's been 17 years since my husband's accident and he has zero movement 😕 My dog became paralyzed in April and by September she was starting to walk again. She isn't perfect, but she's walking ❤
I bawled my eyes out with this movie. And yesterday I got super pissed that it didn’t get shortlisted for the Best Documentary Feature category at the Oscars.
Some other good documentary 's worth checking out....Hollywood dreams and nightmares -the Robert englund story, smoke and mirrors - The story of Tom savini, to hell and back-the kane hodder story, gunner hansen -Dinner with leatherface

I just got done watching this. It broke me.
Good video, definitely watch some more documentaries/movies based on true stories!
On the note of documentaries...you guys should do the Val Kilmer one. It's phenominal.
To them, "I was and always would be their Superman." You definitely will always be my Superman, Mr. Reeve.
Can I just say that the visual of the Kryptonite growing out of all the parts that his injury affected was such a beautiful touch
He truly was the spiritual embodiment of Superman. If anyone could be described as having a pure heart, it was Christopher Reeves.
You knew him?
@ after seeing this documentary I feel like we all knew him, at least a part of him.
...... It's best if you don't even talk under RUclips comment section ever again .
@ ignore the trolls
@@thedarkknight2221it's not impossible that you knew him. I was jw
Out of all the Supermans I've seen and watched. This was the real superman, our childhood hero. Rest in peace, Christopher Reeve
he will always be Our superman
Fun Fact Robin Williams was a roommate with the late voice of batman mr Kevin conroy .
Yup. Yup. I’ve seen this twice and it killed me both times but also so inspirational. All the people he’s helped even now years after his passing. He really is Superman
Christopher reeve also appeared in Smallville I as a 6 year old kid to seeing him in Smallville made me happy and sad especially hearing when he died 😞 god bless our superman and may you fly into the heaven with all of our blessings with your friend Robin Williams who also made me believe I can fly with my first ever seeing Peter pan.
i loved how they incorporated him into smallville. differnt character, but was still passing the torch off to Tom
😢 This is Superman, Christopher Reeves was the man of hope, I will never forget his legacy, the excellent performance, what a great actor, may he rest in peace 🕊️ He's going to give people's hope to all of eternity ❤️ 👏👏👏👏👏
Omg - we cried like babies during the whole thing. Do I really want to cry this morning? Hell yes.
I purposefully traveled to another city here in Portugal to watch this because it wasnt airing in my cinema! It was a life time experience and I took a friend that knew nothing about Crhistopher Reeve nor his Sups and we were both sobbing hard watching it 😭 so glad you guys got the chance to react to it!
To Christopher Reeve! THE Superman!
Superman spins around Earth so fast that he managed to reverse time itself just to save Lois from the perils looks really cool and still holds up now.
After all, he's faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and can leap tall buildings in a single bound.
It SHATTERS my heart that this got snubbed by the Oscars.
This documentary deserves so much love and attention.
I don’t think it’s even announced yet
What's the most inspiring Documentary you've ever seen??
Jeffrey Dahmer 🌝
The Von Erich tv documentary
I haven't seen many but Free Solo is definitely up there.
this and the resurrection of jake the snake roberts
Super/Man deserves an Oscar nomination and win for Best Documentary
Christopher and Dana Reeve and their advocacy and research is the reason my uncle is still here today. That stem cell research Christopher was so about is exactly what my uncle had for over 2 years.

christopher reeve as superman is the GOAT
I already know I'm going to cry. He was my very first super hero 😢
Somewhere in time, deathtrap, street smart, above suspicion, the sea wolf, are good Christopher reeve movies worth checking out!
I watched this documentary. This did bring me into tears and heroic that Christopher Reeves will always be the "Superman"

Dana Reeve so much like a Lois Lane. The spotlight not on her... but she still stayed strong and supported him. Every Superman needs his Lois.
This gave me a new perspective on Christopher Reeves I never thought I would see
Last week i was having a horrible week mentally. My 3rd xmas since my mom passed. Just killed my spirit & i just went home after work & laid in bed. But i watched this & it spoke as in your problems are nothing. And even tho im still feeling a dark cloud is above me im powering thru. All i got is my & my dad.
I saw this in theatres. It made water come out of my face😭😭😭
Christopher Reeve will always be Superman the real Superman OUR Superman
I watched this in theatres and it broke me....
If you havnt seen Noises Off- that is my favorite roll of his (outside if Superman) and the whole cast is amazing.
Just wanna say as someone whose never really watched or liked much superman content or no much about the actor behind it but damn have yall slam dunked and got me sobbing watching this and his connection to robin willams and all the change he’s done throughout the world 😭😭🙌❤️❤️❤️
Also you definitely need to do more documentary reactions
It’s so satisfying seeing Superman related media and not seeing someone say “Henry Cavill is my Superman”
Cavill can be your Man, but you gotta give all the props to the OG. Without him, nothing else would have been possible.
Truly a moving docu that broke me. No one can replace him Reeve will ALWAYS be Superman no matter what!
I also just watched this. Wonderful way to enter this week of Superman news ❤
What a beautiful movie. I knew next to nothing about Christopher Reeve before watching this and was blown away it. This is a top ten movie of the year for me!
What a selfless and courageous man. I cried several times watching this.
I love the documentary film super/man the christopher reeve story❤🦸♂️❤and it was Amazing it's not only about the actor who played superman but also the tragedy that christopher reeve and his family have been through since the accident and the lose to such an iconic and a fantastic actor RIP christhoper reeve😢😢
People don't even realize Christopher Reeve's Superman was Silver Age Superman.

I hope he’s able to do great things. Never give up on hope
@AnvilPictures he's a graphic design major, so our hopes that his injury wasn't more severe than T12 were met.
I don't care what people think or say Christopher Reeve was and will always be Superman he channels the characteristics of character and he's the one who made everyone believe a man can fly he brought strength and he fought for a long time during his injury. He and Robin Williams were great with each other Reeves comedy was on point and he's the one who made superhero movies for what they are today
🕯️❤️💙🙏 There is no way not getting emotional watching this, I went to see this in Theaters open night not a Dry eye left. 🕯️Christopher Reeves🕯️
An amazing , inspiring, heartbreaking, sometimes terrifying and ultimately beautiful story about a beautiful man and his beautiful family.
Other actors may play Superman, but Christopher Reeve WAS Superman, onscreen and off.

This was mind blowing❤❤what a powerful documentary ❤❤❤
OMG I can't watch this without crying. I miss him...the OG.
Saw this movie when it premiered at Sundance. Whole movie theater was crying their eyes out the whole time.
I’ve been rewatching Smallville and I just got to the part where his character passes away and this shit killed me man. If we could all be half the person he was the things we could do as a people.
I love seeing this AAA team together. Alba, Aaron and Andrew. Amazing.
this movie had me crying like a baby in the theater
I dont think I've ever seen Tara or Roxy cry. But geez, Greg and Andrew.. They could create a national flood crisis the number of times they cried.
I wish someday I could be a fraction of the man Christopher Reeve was.
R.I.P. Superman.
Considering this was "only" a documentary, it's better edited, paced, and put together than any other movie this year. I was not bored or distracted for a single moment watching this movie, and I can't say that about many movies.
The tears dont stop when watching this movie
One of my favorite movies with Reeve is Noises Off! It’s a fun movie to watch with friends.
Now I understand which superman will always be my favorite one
I cried in the beginning when he said he failed his family, not being able to raise the kids or support his family. 😢
Awesome...I saw this at the cinema and cried my eyes out at times.
This was incredible to watch! I knew almost knowing about Christopher. His story is powerful, nonetheless. Also, I believe this is the first time I’ve seen Aaron cry. I hope all is well, my friend. Keep inspiring!
Chris Reeve is my Jesus. His inspiration has saved me from my depression more times than i can count. He's definitely the man i try to be. I highly recommend checking out his autobiography "Still Me" (much of the docs narration is pulled from Chris reading the audiobook)
even this cut down reaction of the film made me cry , damm
Yep and now I'm crying again like I did when I 1st watched the doc.
I already grew up with Christopher Reeves story so I know it going to break me. Plus I had a major crush on him as Superman, and it hurt me when he got hurt 😢❤❤
This documentary definitely deserves an Oscar nomination & win for Best Documentary. Chris will always be our real Superman. Wish that he had never rode on that horse 😢.

Saw this in theaters and absolutely destroyed me emotionally. Such an amazing human being.
Guys the trailer it’s almost here 🥹
We being hopeful with this one going back to reeve era
I tear up every time I watch this 😢 what a tribute to the man of steel ❤️🕊️
Heartbreaking watch!
One minute in and I’m already getting teary-eyed
Thanks for this reaction. Don't know if I could handle this movie but I love documentaries.

So excited to see what James gunn brings to the table for Superman .
He will always be my SUPERMAN ❤
the man could fly...
I have never in my life seen three guy's crying at once. This made me going very sad, but good story!
Man, I watched this in the theatre during the two-day premiere period. Couldn’t contain the tears…
So good. It brought up a lot of emotions from when my dad passed away when I was a kid. Hos poor son :(
Jesus, I'm not even 15 minutes into this reaction and I already started crying.
I made it through without crying until Glenn Close said Robin Williams would still be here if Christopher was 😢
Holy shit I’ve never cried so much and I don’t cry about much. God and these guys crying had me crying even more.
Today we cry!!…. Tomorrow we cheer! ❤️🔥🔥🔥
Love your video and keep up the great work you are awesome
As someone who has a spinal cord injury myself, unfortunately all people who have had this injury feel all those things. We go through all those thoughts like Christopher did.

Damn that’s heartbreaking but I’m more than happy that you’re now stronger than ever. Keep going strong dude
@@Ay3shizzlethank you so much! This means a lot to read!
@@RS-bn1ty you’re absolutely welcome dude! 😊😊😊👍👍👍
This was about the most tragic family story ending to a certain degree for this family not only that their dad passed away but a year and a half later their mom got sick and slowly passed away, so outside of us as fans who had great respect for the Reeves organization for their charity workthe fact that we lost both of them so soon was devastating let alone for the family because it was just one tragedy right after the other
Why does God always take the good ones first ? Christopher Reeve was a kind soul, i was a kid of the 80's for us in Britain he was Superman
Damn I teared up more watching this video than I did in the theaters.
Yes it is… I was able to watch this in theaters a couple months back. This was a tear jerker.
This movie should be renamed "The REAL Try Not to Cry Challenge."
First time I watched this baweled my eyes out when Dana read at his funeral
I love you Aaron 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I like the bell and Tara's singing.
About watching more of his films - Deathtrap is one of my favorites.
Have you seen Noises Off?
This film was heartbreaking but amazing 😭
So happy he started getting movement back. It's been 17 years since my husband's accident and he has zero movement 😕 My dog became paralyzed in April and by September she was starting to walk again. She isn't perfect, but she's walking ❤
Christopher Reeves and Robin Williams were my childhood. Man, this is such a sad documentary
I bawled my eyes out with this movie.
And yesterday I got super pissed that it didn’t get shortlisted for the Best Documentary Feature category at the Oscars.
Now this the kind of love I hope for
I was listening to John flickinger talking about this. Definitely on the list. But I’ll be listening here now too. Thumbnail already sad.
Christopher Reeves as Superman was so innocent
This documentary is incredible ❤
Some other good documentary 's worth checking out....Hollywood dreams and nightmares -the Robert englund story, smoke and mirrors - The story of Tom savini, to hell and back-the kane hodder story, gunner hansen -Dinner with leatherface
Pleeeassee can we get a Noises Off reaction? One of the funniest comedies with Christopher Reeve in it.
