Unchained
There’s a reason only hardcore fans of the genre have given it the time of day.
Comics & Superheroes
Superman and the Mole-Men
For a low-budget effort thrown together as a way to recoup potential losses if the television series flopped, it turned out alright, and has aged about as you would expect.
Look, Up in the Sky!
The documentary provides a wealth of historical context along with a very nice selection of interviewees to paint a picture of Superman as the cultural phenomenon that is ubiquitous today.
All-Star Superman
The plot, involving super hero serums, sun-eating creatures, and gravity guns, is expectedly outlandish.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
The Wolverine of Origins is the lethal terror you always hope he will be in videogames.
Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut
It is a joy to see the alternate, superior scenes that had been cut in favor of Lester’s reshoots, and to see these unburied artifacts pieced together into an entire feature length film.
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
I can take or leave its brutal violence and some of the political commentary is bit too preachy, but it is one of the most cohesive and compelling comics I have ever read.
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace
Christopher Reeve turns in his final performance as Superman and the franchise stumbles to a halt in the justly-maligned Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.
Superman III
It’s weird, it’s silly, and much of it doesn’t work, while the best elements of it feel out of place in what purports to be a serious take on the character.
Superman II
Not as good as Superman, but not as bad as the other two sequels. The problems mostly lie in the switch of directors and politics behind the scenes.
