Summary
Amongst my favorite superhero films or films based on comic books, is, and this may surprise some people, Superman the Movie. Which in some respects is better than anything that has come before or after it in that it focused on the core of the story and less on the visuals or special effects. I mentioned in my review of Superman Returns, which is several posts back, that I'm not sure you can fully appreciate the film Returns without first seeing Superman the Movie and its sequel Superman II - since Returns is both a homage and a direct result of the prior two films. Returns would not exist without them and is meant as the sequel to Superman II. It is also demonstrative of a certain filmmaking technigue known as the "homage". Like it or not, Bryan Singer's Superman Returns is an important film because of how it frames itself around what had come before. And note, not films done by the Singer or containing Singer's cast, or even created in the same decade as Singer's film. The homage Singer creates - also comments on a style of filmmaking and special effects that has changed.
