1978's Superman: The Movie is often still considered to be the best Superman film and one of the greatest superhero films of all time. However, I have seen some people complain about certain aspects of the film. I will be sharing my thoughts on those complaints.

Some people think that the film is too cheesy and outdated. I strongly disagree. Superman: The Movie has a timeless feel and is still a powerful, uplifting film to this day. The film is zaidi bright, colorful and family-friendly than a majority of today's superhero films. That's not a problem. In fact, I think that it's something worth...

2006's Superman Returns might look like a reboot of Superman, but it's actually a sequel to the Christopher Reeve Superman films. Rebooting franchises has been a very common trend in Hollywood. However, the upendo for the classic Superman films was so strong that it was decided to make a film that would serve as a nostalgic tribute to what came before.

Superman Returns is meant to serve as a sequel to Superman: The Movie and Superman 2. The events of Superman 3 and 4, as well as the Supergirl spin-off film are ignored. While it's a bit disappointing that Superman Returns ignores some underrated...

Superman 2 was originally directed kwa Richard Donner, the director of Superman: The Movie. However, Richard Donner was fired for spending too much money and was replaced kwa Richard Lester. Richard Lester directed the version of Superman 2 that was released to theaters. For decades, Richard Donner's version of the film wasn't available to the public. However, in 2006, his version of the film was released to DVD.

I will go over some of the biggest differences between the theatrical cut and the director's cut:

In the theatrical cut, Superman saves Lois Lane in Paris and gets rid of a bomb. The...

1978's Superman: The Movie has remained one of the most maarufu superhero films of all time. It was the first blockbuster superhero film. The success of the film led to the trend of superhero films that's still going on to this day. In fact, superhero films are now zaidi maarufu than ever. That happened thanks to the strong impact that Superman had on people. The film had three sequels in the 1980s and one last sequel in 2006.

It's common for maarufu franchises to get rebooted. Since Superman is one of the most iconic superheroes of all time, it made sense that a Superman reboot would eventually...

The original Superman film franchise started in 1978's Superman: The Movie. The film was directed kwa Richard Donner and starred Christopher Reeve as the title character. Christopher Reeve went on to play Superman in three sequels to the film. That might sound simple, but the film franchise has ended up having a confusing timeline.

The first thing that makes the franchise confusing is that there are two very different versions of Superman 2. Superman 2 was originally directed kwa Richard Donner and had Marlon Brando reprising his role as Jor-El. However, Richard Donner was fired from the production...

Superhero sinema have become extremely popular. In fact, they're one of the most maarufu types of films. However, superhero films used to not be so common au beloved. In the 1940's, there were various superhero movie serials. They were decently successful, but they weren't meant to be re-watched au to have much to have much of a lasting legacy.

Things changed in the mwaka 1978. That was the mwaka that Richard Donner's Superman movie...

"SUPERMAN RETURNS" (2006) Review

The 2006 Summer movie season was a memorable one for me. I never got around to reviewing sinema like"MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III", "THE DaVINCI'S CODE", and "X-MEN 3: THE LAST STAND". I had just started on my first blog and never really bothered to put much effort into a movie review. However, I did managed to write a few words about "SUPERMAN RETURNS".

I wish I could say that I had loved "SUPERMAN RETURNS". I wish I could say that I found it very original. I wish I could . . . but I cannot. Because I would be lying if I had alisema so. Do not get me wrong . . . "SUPERMAN...

"MAN OF STEEL" (2013) Review

When I first learned that Warner Brothers Studios and D.C. Comics planned to release another Superman movie, I did not greet the news with any enthusiasm. In fact, my first reaction was sheer frustration. The last D.C. Comics movie I wanted to see was another Superman movie.

There were so many reasons for my negative reaction to the news of a new Superman movie. The last one I saw was 2006's "SUPERMAN RETURNS", which had been directed kwa Bryan Singer. There had also been two televisheni series about the Man of Steel in the past twenty (20) years - "LOIS AND CLARK:...

Superman's one of the most maarufu superheroes ever made. Because of his popularity he has had eight live action films. Justice League is excluded, because Superman doesn't have a big enough role in that film for it to count.

8. Superman and the mole Man

Although the first Christopher Reeve Superman is considered to be the first Superman this obscure film from the 1950s is Superman's first film. The film has George Reeves as Superman who also played Superman in a live action TV show. The film was made during a time period where it was really hard to make good superhero films so this film lacks...

Ever since New 52 Superman died, the Superman fandom has been mgawanyiko, baidisha between those who are overjoyed the pre-Flashpoint Superman is coming back and those who actually liked N52 Superman’s stories.

I will not speak about the new Superman movies. That’s another matter of debate.

For the most part, I was on the fence about New 52 Supes. There were good stories, like Superman Unchained and Superman: Doomed, but so far there was nothing on the New 52 that could be considered transcendent au groundbreaking for the Man of Steel. Superman: Truth, however, was a proverbial brick to the testicles.

This makala is for looking over the Superman feature-length films. In addition to appearing in these films, Superman also appeared in a series of theatrical cartoons in the 1940's.

When people think about Christopher Reeve's first two Superman films, they tend to think of them with fondness and love. However, the 3rd and 4th films got a much different response. Superman 3 is often regarded as a mediocre sequel, while Superman 4 is often considered to be one of the worst superhero films of all time. Personally, I don't agree. I believe that Superman 3 and 4 are both charming tales in their own right.

1983's Superman 3:

Superman 3 is often mocked for being a Richard Pryor comedy film, rather than a serious Superman film. The Superman films are zaidi family-friendly than...

Superman Returns is a film that came out in June of 2006. The film, which starred Brandon Routh as Superman, was meant to lead to, at the very least, one sequel. That ended up not happening. The film did get decent reviews from critics, but mashabiki have been mgawanyiko, baidisha on it. While I can't say that the film is perfect, I can certainly say that it's a good film that's important to me.

Superman Returns might seem like a reboot of the Superman film franchise. The trailer even showed a few scenes of Clark Kent as a kid, which would give some people the impression that this film is an origin story. That...

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me

I'm zaidi than a bird, I'm zaidi than a plane
I'm zaidi than some pretty face beside a train
And it's not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a nyumbani I'll never see

It may sound absurd, but don't be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed, but won't wewe concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me

Up, up and away, away from me
It's all right, wewe can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy, au anything

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't...

With the New 52 far behind, I can look back on it with zaidi nuanced eyes and give my opinion. Here it goes...

While the decision to significantly modify Superman's status quo in the New 52 is not one I agree with, it is one I can understand. Superman had become such an iconic character not only to DC, but to modern culture, that it was a major challenge to write him as an emotionally compelling protagonist in a dramatic story. kwa taking him out of his comfort zone, Superman could be portrayed as a zaidi fallible and human character and adapt to a world that may no longer see his ideals as relevant....
