This is a great stand up and cheer underdog movie in the genre of beloved movies like Hoosiers, Rudy, Miracle. I loved how clean, wholesome and old fashioned it seemed. Callum Turner as Joe Rantz is likable as a down in his luck young man struggling during the Great Depression. Callum reminds me of an old classic Hollywood star. Handsome yet mysteriously brooding.
It is beautifully filmed through a lens of warmth. Even though we know how it’s going to end it is still able to grip your heart and make you want to cheer.

For me Superman the Movie is my all time favorite movie! It retains the magic I enjoyed when seeing it as a kid! The casting of Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder is perfect as is their undeniable chemistry. Glen Ford as Jonathon Kent steals the show in his scenes! The musical score by John Williams is among his best! Best opening title sequence ever! My go to movie when the world gets me down.
