Hollywoodland and Superman...
We missed this movie at the theaters when it first came out... and during the past TV Season we did not renew our BlockBuster movie pass, so did not have a chance to view it on DVD.
However, we are now on 'Total Access' and so I checked out this movie as I put it near the top of my want list to rent. Tina didn't have the same urge to watch it, but got caught up in the movie as she remembered the reruns of the TV show.
The movie had a good storyline... But Sad.... It is Not a movie to watch if you are feeling down, and definitely not a family movie with all the language and sexual scenes.
Being a baby boomer I grew up watching the Adventures of Superman on TV, both in black and white and in color. Of course I would check out the reruns later...
Ben Affleck really comes across on screen as George Reeves and as the Superman of the old black & white TV days.
This is a recommended rental DVD... not for sure if it is suitable for a home film library to put this in, and as it is not truly a superhero comic book movie probably not for a collector either. Since it is sad and doesn't have a true closing it possibly is not one I would recommend for a second viewing.
Additionally due to the lack of a true closing Tina didn't feel like the movie ended. She felt that the movie just spun its' wheels for the last hour...
For those that enjoyed Superman in the comics, we have several issues in our eBay Featured Store starting at 99 cents!
