I saw it today. I thought it was pretty good. Not as great as I thought it would be. Oscar? I don't think so. But I have been wrong before.
Go check it out and given your input.

It stars Ben Affleck as George Reeves--1950's TV Superman.

I usually like something which imitates film noir of the 50's or is a good mystery and was particularly interested in the fate of former Superman RV Star- George Reeves. This film was neither although the performances were excellent especially Diane Lane as the older woman in Reeve's life and Bob Hoskins. Ben Affleck seemed a bit wooden in his performance but that is how George Reeve seemed in all of his. I think he did a good imitation of Reeves. Overall though I found it disappointing and depressing. Siskel and Ebert had given it two thumbs up, too! I won't be renting or buying the DVD.

I will see it soon. I remember George Reeves as the 50’s Superman.

Look up in the sky it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman. Faster then a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings with a single bound. And who disguised as Clark Kent a mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper … [can anybody remember the last line?]

Just saw this today and thought it was an excellent film. The performances were all around top notch and Affleck was fantastic as George Reeves. I wouldn't be surprised if he were to get an Oscar nomination. Surprisingly he won an award at the Venice Film Festival. I've heard some say it is a bit slow but I didn't think so...with this type of film it isn't bound to be a fast paced film. I liked how the filmmakers allow the audience to think about the different scenario's surrounding George Reeves death. I definitely recommend it.

Saw this the other day, it was extremely boring. When the movie was finally over, I looked around the theater and literally half the people were asleep.
