comic book films

the summrt of 1989, and this was everywhere, yhe famous logo standing out where ever you went, tim burton did his job well, a dark version of the bat, wityh burtons trademark goth, keaton is exellent as bruce wayne and stil my fav batman,nicholson, over the top but a great performasnce, hec just stole the show, great look capturing the spirits of the comics well, with great set pieces, the sequel is even darker and worth a watch but beware, batman and robin and forever are pretty bad, with none of the spirit and style of this first entry, great danny elfman score too, makes this one of the best summer blockbusters opf al time

christopher reeve was and always will be the definate superman, fitting the role perfectly, not only superman him self, but his alter ego, clerk kent, perfectly capturing a bumbling news reporter with a secret, a epic story, from his birth to his arival in smallvile, to his life in metropolis, a great origin movie, shows how they must be done, gene hackman is also a great casting choice as lex luther, a good little story going on, john williams score is terrific, with one of the best opening credits ever, maybe even beating williams own starwars. they boosted you will see a man fly, and they delivered there promise, yes it might lok dated by today standerds, but, holds up well, watch carefully the vilains punished at beginning, as they are main focus for villains in superman 2, a exellent sequel to a exellent super hero film,

very underrated, the style hooked me, ang lee, really did something different, and although a few dodgy cgi, great action sequences, the sequel is going to be different, more commercial, thats a big shame

great start for francaise, a set up for more to come, looks great, and in jackman a perfect cast for wolverine,
