The book by Philip Wylie is a million times better than this film.

Difference between book and movie adaptation is relatively the same as with most superhero comics (which Gladiator inspired by inspiring Superman) and their movie adaptations.
Hell, compare "even" original Superman comics with Superman The Movie for instance.
