Superman 4K Film Review
Your name is Kal-El. You are the only survivor of the planet Krypton. Even though you've been raised as a human, you are not one of them. You have great powers, only some of which you have as yet discovered.
But it also set the mould for superhero movies for all time. Origin stories pretty much follow the path laid down here. It made a cultural icon of Christopher Reeves, an actor so perfect for the role, and a person so much the part that in most peoples' eyes he is still Superman. The suit was the correct colour, his actions were driven by uprightness and he perfectly stood for ‘truth, justice and the American way’. Despite the tortured filming set, the heart was in the right place and the script was perfect; there is a wholesome charm about the piece that modern films simply don’t possess. The film is character, rather than action, driven. Superman’s immense strength is shown but not at the expense of fighting and his moral compass is on point.
Oh yes, the film has a lot to answer for. And it does so. In spades.
