Reeve portrayed the Man of Steel in four Superman films and played dozens of other roles that displayed his talent and range as an actor, before being injured in a near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down.

Just been to see this and wanted to recommend to all. Sadly tomorrow looks to be the final day in UK Odeon cinemas.

Christopher Reeve aka Superman was a huge influence and reason for loving movies as a young boy and I'm sure there's many that feel the same way. I really can't recommend seeing this enough. Just an amazing story, with amazing people, wonderfully presented, about a superhero.

P.s. apologies, I can't figure out how to add the rating. First film release post but wanted to spread the word for anyone wanting to see it on the big screen.
