I loved it. After all the boring Marvel stuff I thought I was totally done with superhero movies. The way it began was so odd it grabbed my interest straight away and Superman had more personality than in all the movies he’d ever done while still being a goodie-two-shoes nerd.
The best review I’ve seen for the 1978 Superman said “you won’t just believe a man can fly, it’ll make you want to.” That’s what we go to movies for. Not Nicole Kidman.
That said, I don’t remember what all Marvel movies came out before the 1978 Superman? I thought those were only this century. Could be wrong though. I would have assumed they meant the other self-titled Superman movie from this year, but hey, what do I know?
