Not as good as the Christopher Reeve Superman I and II

Rating: 6/10 (2 July 2013)

This movie was entertaining, but the story was not as interesting to me as in Superman I and II with Christopher Reeve. I also think Superman's personality was captured better by Reeve than in this one.
I will say that I think this film was better than Superman III and IV that Reeve starred in, and also the "Superman Returns" version which was too over the top and not credible.
Rather than a straight line from the decaying Planet Krypton to his adult life, I found the flash backs to his youth more distracting than enlightening. Kind of broke up the storyline in my opinion.
Another thing this version lacks is the stirring musical score that John Williams composed for the Reeve versions of Superman.
To sum up, decent but not a block buster.
