How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A lighthearted superhero romp that plays with the idea of Superman stripped of his powers and forced to confront his human side, mixing genuine pathos with comedy and campy spectacle.

The problem with everything comedic going around is that its not funny and without it, nothing of substance is going on with any character.
I still like christopher reeve as superman but he can't save this film from being dogshit I'm afraid.
