Nice Visuals but....

Rating: 2/10 (5 December 2013)

I'm probably showing my age, but having grown up with Superman. Thought that visually it was great and the casting was good. However for me Christopher Reeve will always be the benchmark for Superman and this was too big a departure for me. Their lacked the warmth and fun of the previous films. It seems at the moment films want to make comic book films dark and where as this suits characters like Batman, I don't feel it suits Superman. I liked the bumbling of Christopher Reeve's Clark Kent and then the switch to a confident Superman. If anything it made his disguise more believable. If you haven't seen this film watch the 1978 version if you have then give the 1978 version a chance.
