The perfect example of superhero storytelling

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2014)

The idea has been buzzing around in my head for quite a while, and I have finally realized- This movie is still, and probably always will be the greatest Superman movie since Superman (1978). The basic story of an unlikely child raised by honest people. He learns he has extraordinary capabilities and starts a quest to discover himself and where he belongs in the world. He is noble and arrogant to a degree but learns to develop his abilities because he truly wants to help people in need. This simple story is so compelling and fantastic that I couldn't understand why we can't find it in modern films. There is so much more to offer your imagination than mindless non-stop violence. So instead of distorting your children's intelligence by showing them The Man of Steel. Show them Hercules, and I guarantee they will get so much more out of it.
