Superman Revisited

Earlier in my blog I had posted an article titled Superman V: Balls of Steel, that post mainly had to do with my views on how I perceived Superman. However, I must be honest that Superman is most definitely one of my favorite superhero's.

Unlike our friendly neighborhood Spiderman, who's worries normally consist of dilemma's of daily life. Superman is a much more iconic character... That is he stands tall for good of mankind and perhaps one of the core reasons why we love Superman so much.

I remember having promised in my last Superman piece that I would have my thoughts on Superman. I had serious doubts in my mind since Superman initially felt like an amazing masterpiece when it came to special effects. Now, since the release I have watched the movie about 4 times and finally have come to a conclusion on my thoughts about this movie.

The previews for the Superman movie show us Superman saving a plane from crashing, which is most definitely one of my favorite scenes, since the end of that scene had me feeling happy. I have been a fan of Superman since childhood and have read the comics, watched the cartoons, seen the movies... The works. At the end of that scene I felt a sense of happiness that Superman was back... The man definitely knows how to make an entry. The whole scene has everyone cheering for Superman and the fact that he is back, tears of joy rolled down my face to see Superman then.

The movie talks about Superman, and his return from planet Krypton, the decisions he has made in his life and the result of those decisions. I believe the best aspect of this movie is the fact that Superman is at the end of the day a man. One who makes mistakes, yet stands for what he believes is right and does exactly that.

At the end of the movie, when he saves us again and we hope that he continues to do so over and over again. Superman makes us fall in love with SuperHero's and some of the best story telling in a while. We hope this continues and Superman continues at what he does best.... Saving the World :)
