Superman review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 12/12/11
Jor-El believes that planet Krypton will explode so he launches a spacecraft with his son Kal-El towards Earth. Jonathan and Martha Kent adopts the child and names them Clark. He becomes a reporter and falls for Lois Lane. Reeves just makes you believe in the hero's sincerity, Hackman as Luthor could have been realistic if he became bald. The light plot but action sequences were decent.
In the words of the fatherly Jor-El - "All that I have, all that I've learned, everything I feel... all this, and more I... I bequeath you, my son. You will carry me inside you... all the days of your life." The effects maybe dated but the themes of love, heroism, acceptance, family and bravery always persist. Its score is immortal and cinematography gorgeous. Superman was a good superhero film that is one of the pioneers in this genre.
