This is a great movie! I enjoyed the way they paralleled the two stories within the film and how they kept crossing over to each other. Plus the way various versions of the conflicting stories within the movie were told. The cinematography is also wonderful to look at. Capturing the look of old photos of the era along with correct usage of props. Right down a a little child's lunch box.

I will say going to this movie you should not expect a resolution. It still leaves many questions at the end but then the case itself is still being questioned too. But it shows how eventually one character seems to have turned over a new leaf on what he is going to do with his life.

Trivia note: Warners would not give the production permission to use the actual opening for The Adventures of Superman so they had to recreate it shot for shot exactly as it had been made for television.

Warner's almost didn't let them use the suit or the name.

Great movie, well done. It made me want to read and learn about some of the real history behind the people involved (which I did as soon as I got home from seeing it).

I heard Affleck scores in this one. Tons of people are screaming Academy Award for him

The Fleischer cartoons got me started in my obsession. But the George Reeves series made me put the towel around my neck and believe I could fly.

I don't know if I want to see this movie, been debating this since I first herd of it a few months ago. Yeah....I'm weird like that. :rolleyes:
