Loved it!
My Grandad took me to watch Superman: The Movie when I was 4 years old, It was the first movie I'd ever seen at the cinema and I left the theatre thinking I could fly, never mind believing that a man, or anybody else could for that matter, my imagination ran wild and from that moment on I was hooked.
Sadly my Grandad was taken from me a few years later in a tragic car accident the day after my 9th birthday. To me my Grandad became synonymous with Superman and without him I may never have been introduced to the character and quite possibly would not be the avid fan I am today.
Throughout my life Superman has come to mean so much more to me than a character in a book or movie. He's come to represent family, standards, ideals & values, and for me personally a nostalgic recollection of childhood memories, and of a time when I viewed the world with much more innocent eyes.
I'm 38 years old now and a father with four children of my own and I see the world very differently. I still think it's a beautiful place however being a parent I'm only too aware of the dangers in it. Yet when I read a Superman comic or watch a movie, I think of my Grandad and what he came to mean to me in those few short years I had with him and of a time when life appeared so different.
I know my Grandad would've loved this movie every bit as much as I did and I'll be taking my eldest son to watch it soon too and in years to come I hope we'll be able to sit down and remember the first time we saw Man Of Steel together.
For me the movie conveyed everything I've come to hold dear about the character while delivering much more on so many different levels.
This is the Superman Movie I've waited virtually my whole life to see and the movie that will hopefully create nostalgia and fire the imagination for a whole new generation of Superfans for many years to come.
