After reading of all the hubbub about the new Superman movie being politically correct....I couldn't detect anything of that nature while watching it. If I looked for things I surely could have found them....but in just watching it for some uplifting entertainment....well....they weren't jumping out at me. All of the theaters and the numerous show times were nearly filled. We had to go to an 11:45 AM showing to get the seats that are my favorite. Yeah....I have favorite seats....first row luxury....aisle seats....with a wall behind me.
I was not a comic book kid. Oh I take that back because I did buy Archie and Sad Sack comics. I buy comics occasionally today....sort of.....Christian graphic novels....and then I give them away to young people. I don't know that I have ever gone to a Batman movie....and I never saw any Superman movies before this....including the original Christopher Reeve/Marlon Brando film....and I certainly never saw any super hero movies of any kind....but I just kind of felt like going to this one. Maybe it was because of the dog?
Let me give you one scene that describes this particular Superman. Buildings are collapsing in Metropolis....and a squirrel is about to get crushed....and Superman zooms in and grabs the squirrel!
A little spoiler here....not much....but in the beginning of the film Superman pined over thoughts of his parents back on Krypton....but at the end of the film....he pined over thoughts of his childhood with his adoptive parents. So....dogs and things like that....yeah....this was my kind of movie.
