Now I'm probably going to leave myself open to a major flaming here but...........
As mentioned above it was on 5 last night, being of an age when Superman was THE MAN and I was raised on these films my reaction was a definite
I eagerly informed my nine year old son that he needed to watch this film as it was brilliant, my thirteen year old daughter also wanted to see it.
My daughter lost interest about twenty minutes in and wandered off and although my little lad watched it to the end later admitted he thought it was "rubbish" and do you know what? After thinking about it objectively rather than with fond childhood memories....it is. Utterly dire.
I thought maybe we have just been spoiled with newer stuff, but all the Star Wars stuff still holds up and all my kids will sit through the original three quite happily over and over again.
