4/4
"One of the best, nei, the best superhero movie ever made!"  sbs.is  Stefan Birgir Stefansson

A-
"A classic tribute to an American pop-culture icon… the first great comic-book movie and a nostalgic ode to the ideals of a more innocent time… John Williams’ swashbuckling score completes the grand experience."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus
