Superman The Movie, do we really believe man can fly?
Showing the first steps and action of the man of steal, 'Superman The Movie' doesn't disappoint, its thirty two years since we first saw the man of steal on the big screen and still makes me feel like putting on the red cape and rescuing a cat from the tree.
Starting off at a slow pace and telling the story of his homeland (Krypton) you slowly start to anticipate Superman's first on screen appearance. Richard Donner (Director) has managed to avoid any campness you could possibly find in a superhero who is known for wearing red pants and bright blue tights with a perfectly coiffed hairstyle. Christopher Reeve (Clark Kent) manages to portray a bumbling mild manoured reporter by day and by night a man who can leap tall buildings in a single bound with such credibility. Having its moments of great action and suspence Superman delivers on all aspects of what a comicbook movie should live up to. We get to see what a true american Superhero can do whether its being fired at from all angles,being set on fire or even having a quick swim in larver superman can do it all and boy are we impressed!!
However if your a big comic book follwer then there are some floors which may annoy you, drgging at the start doesn't really allow it reach its full potential, but after seeing a man fly you soon forget the boring opening scenes. If however you are after an all start cast with the likes of 'Gene Hackman and Marlon Brando', full of fantasy and adventure then superman is your hero!
In my opinion you do believe a man can fly!!
