He behaves more like Superman in interviews than he does in the movies. He has a child-like enthusiasm about being Superman, then he puts on the costumeand scowls.
That is such a shame. I've felt Cavil has a good look for Superman. Too bad he's stuck in mediocre movies.

I don't think Henry Cavill's the problem in the newer films, every now and then he does show the warmth that Superman should have, he's just stuck with the wrong director, as seen in BVS which totally threw him under the bus in favor of quite possibly the most selfish & self-centered live action Batman ever put on film.

This film is so Golden Age Superman I love it. And I'm so disappointed at how Superman is portrayed in film nowadays, he should be a boy scout and a beacon of optimism and heroism.

OP is exactly right. I watched this film again recently and was amazed at how vastly superior this film is compared to any of the modern super hero films. I've stopped watching the genre as all new films end the same way: hero is conflicted, villain and hero fight; city blocks are destroyed in process; super hero wins; credits roll over carnage.

Everything about this film fills me with a tremendous sense of hope. I can't imagine any superhero film ever topping it.

I wouldn't mind a dark Superman film, I just think the newer ones have crappy stories, screenplay and bad casting.

Exactly. Reeve captured the true nature of Superman. This is why Reeve's Superman will always always be memorable. Henry Cavill's emo punk Superman has no heart, no soul, no juice, no ambition, nothing. This is the reason why Reeve's Superman is still on top.

I love the utterly charming sense of decent and polite friendly wholesomeness that Christopher Reeve brings to the part of Superman. He's like the total epitome of sweet heartland American values and good manners.
