A true Super Man

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2020)

The 1978 is terrible, just acceptable for people from that era.
It presents an awful Superman that is good and does good "because". No character development, no psychological weight. A skin deep character that when really analized, it's not what the movie say it is.
He's selfish and vacant. He uses his power to get a girl or without thinking in the awful consequences that they could produce, all for personal reasons (time travel). The rest of the characters aren't better. Lex Luthor's plan is embarrasing and Louis Lane is insultingly superfitial, falling in love, basically, of power. She doesn't know Superman as a man, but she does love his powers. Great. Great character!
Anyways. That was 1978. We are better now. And now we have a real human (that's how he grew up after all). Clark is filled with contradictions, complicated feelings and full of fears and weaknesses. He's phisically perfect, but mentally, he's just another boy and man. We see how he becomes Superman, slowly learning from his families (both), and finally making decisions by his own, not for himself, but for the well being of others, even sacrifizing things himself. But not by solving everything with his powers and that's it. No. It's never that easy. There is colateral damage and he has to deal with it and improve. I can love this Superman. Now you can really believe that a man can fly.
