Review – Superman

The world’s most powerful Boy Scout finally makes it to the big-budget silver screen in this relic from the 70s. I admit that even as a comics-reading kid I was never exactly the biggest fan Superman ever had; his invulnerability and his sanctimony were always a bit much for me. But those who like the Man of Steel should genuinely enjoy Christopher Reeve’s performance as much as I liked Gene Hackman as his arch-nemesis, Lex Luthor. If you’re in the mood for a cinematic comic book in the classic style, you could do a lot worse. But you really do kinda have to be in the mood. Mildly amusing
