The Year of the Red Blue Blur

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2014)

Or as I like to call it – 6 Decades of Superman. It all started back in the late 30s but his name was just Superboy, then as the years and decades progressed this great phenomenon became the truth, the justice and the American way. Superman has graced our lives and hearts for 75 years ever since that one comic book hit the newsstands back in 1938 and now with digitally enhanced supersonic strength and digitally mastered special effects, we begin to hope again.
This movie has outshone every facet of this superhero's life from the very first appearance on television with George Reeves to the incomparable Christopher Reeve then it went onto Dean Cain then television did it right again with Tom Welling then it went good with Brandon Routh and now the red and the blue returns for a new chapter with Henry Cavill as he joins this elite squad of the red blue blur.
Everything about Man of Steel, was perfectly done and at the helm of it all Zack Snyder, who brought us Dawn of the Dead, 300, Watchmen, Legends of the Guardians, Sucker Punch and now Man of Steel. And right beside him was the Batman Trilogy director Chris Nolan – excellent and superb job well done. The graphics, the CGI, the effects both sound and special – were out of this world.
Speaking "out of this world", I am reminded of what Jor-El once told his son Kal-El, "Krypton lives inside of you wherever you go." Superman a.k.a. Clark Kent will live inside all of us from now and into eternity.
RIP = George Reeves (1959), and Christopher Reeves (2004)
