I LOVED this movie. George reeves has always been a personal hero of mine and I could not wait for it's release. Affleck captured the walk, talk, charm, and big heart of the Greatest Superman of all time. My only gripe with the film was that it portrayed Reeves as a "old tiger with no fangs" who was too broken down to do a wrestling tour towards the end of his career, when actually he and "Judo" Jean LaBelle (George's Trainer & "Nemisis" Mr.Kryptonite)wrestled at state fairs from 1957 right up until the time of Reeves death in 1959.But this is a small flaw in a otherwise Technically incredible film. I could't believe that they showed the legendary time that a little boy pulled his father's police pistol and tried to shoot "Superman" at a appearance so he could watch the bullets bounce off, Affleck nails this scene! Best film I've seen in a LONG time.
Interesting note: "Suitamation" acting Legend Harou Nakajima play the Winged Lion in this Film, Nakajima was Godzilla for the first 20 years of Godzilla Movies, He also portrayed such Giant Monster legends as, Rodan, Varan, Mougera (The Mysterians) and the front section of Mothra.
That's what I love so much about this film, what other Movie can have the same actors that portrayed Godzilla & the Joker in the same scene!
I agree with the above Review, I have been a Daikaijuologist my whole life, and have seen just about every suitamation film Toho ever made, the suit work and miniatures in Latitude Zero have no rival & this is INDEED one of Toho's most underrated works.
