THE DEATH OF "SUPERMAN LIVES": WHAT HAPPENED? (2015)

9/21/2015 - The Death of "Superman Lives": What Happened? (2015) - 7-/10

Probably closer to a 6, but this gets the geek-out bump. A fascinating exploration into a failed movie (usually a great subject material) that delivers on the possibility.


Kind of comes off as "a fanboy delves into the forgotten history", but you get a lot of voices and a plethora of information. Kind of like a "Jodorowsky's Dune"-lite, it is hard not to fall in love with the story and the possible elements of what could have been.


One doubts the cool that is on display here would have translated to the same in a final film, it does not take away from the dreamy visions we are given. Though lacking ultimate movie making craft, this is still a captivating doc and a glimpse at this amazing "what if".
