This article is dedicated in loving memory to Christopher Reeve, Lee Quigley, Margot Kidder, Marlon Brando, Jackie Cooper, Glenn Ford, Phyllis Thaxter and Ned Beatty.

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

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

Superman 3 and 4: Christopher Reeve's Underrated Superman Films

posted by whatsupbugs

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 plus family-friendly than...

Look Up in the Sky, It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s the Superhero Film

Red Son

Below is an essay I had to write for a college Film Genre Class:

In 1978, when Christopher Reeves flew on to the silver screen as the Last Son of Krypton, the superhero film genre was born. The film Superman: The Movie would go on to establish the narrative structure that is still used in the superhero films made today. Budgeted in 1977 at $55 million, it would set many precedents for the pop corn, maïs soufflé blockbuster, “not the least of which was the idea of hiring big stars in action genres that previously were made under mostly B-picture budgets” (McAllister, 110).

Happy 15 an Anniversary To Superman Returns

posted by whatsupbugs

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 fans have been divisé, split 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...

My Ranking of the Live Action Superman Films

posted by mrcodegeass

Superman's one of the most populaire 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 môle, 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...

"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 par Bryan Singer. There had also been two télévision series about the Man of Steel in the past twenty (20) years - "LOIS AND CLARK:...

"SUPERMAN RETURNS" (2006) Review

The 2006 Summer movie season was a memorable one for me. I never got around to reviewing films 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 a dit so. Do not get me wrong . . . "SUPERMAN...

Five For Fighting Lyrics - Superman

posted by karlyluvsam

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

I'm plus than a bird, I'm plus than a plane
I'm plus 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 accueil 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 toi 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, toi can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy, ou anything

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

Superman Fumbles Like Roger Craig (Old Folks Get It!)

posted by arrowone

1. WTF is wrong with Superman Returns?
2. Did anyone know that Superman is an American staple? Is it save to say Mickey souris will soon be a sewer rat? The American flag will have polka-dots? Coca-Cola will taste like warm Michelob? Sony will start making crappy defective video game products?.......oh.
3. The kid was too young. He was an excellent Clark Kent. Teenage Superman is stupid. I got a film idea for Brandon Routh's teenage Superman (go and look! It sucks but look anyway!) but here it didn't work.

My haut, retour au début 5 favori Superman Villains

Superman is DC's first super hero in addition to being 1 of the best super Heroes of all time. Superman doesn't have as many iconic villains as Batman, but he does have some cool enemies. This liste is about my 5 favori enemies of Superman.

5. Mr. Mxyzptlk

Mr. Mxyzptlk is a trouble making antagonist. He is plus of a comedic villain than the other Superman villains. He manages to annoy Superman a lot. Mr. Mxyzptlk is 1 of Superman's most entertaining enemies. He truly shines in Superman: The Animated Series where is amusingly voiced par Gilbert Gottfried.

Superman: Opinions on Rebirth

posted by LeaderVladimir

Ever since New 52 Superman died, the Superman fandom has been divisé, split 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 ou groundbreaking for the Man of Steel. Superman: Truth, however, was a proverbial brick to the testicles.

Superman: Earth One Review

posted by Takuya

I just got this book and I have readit three times inorder to be able to make a correct and serious review.

This is based on my opinion of the book and Superman in general.

The Story
It is a retelling of Clark's first time leaving Smallville and trying to create a life for himself in the big ciy of Metropolis.

It tells the story of Supermans origin without feeling old ou cliché

This story is exactly what I want a Superman cartoon ou movie to be like but since this was to "realistic" I don't think that will ever happen.

One thing I can complain about is how Clark finds out about his Alien heritage,...
