Die hard fans of the DC Comic Superman and the Justice League have waited decades for this movie. Those fans got their wish. From the comic book page to the silver screen this movie delivers what every version of the franchise that’s come before failed to bring to life in film and television. While the film does take time to pay homage to the Christopher Reeves movies, it is uniquely its own version. And the closets one to the original comic book series so far. Go with no expectations and a willingness to be swept up in a world that’s unlike anything you have ever seen before and you’ll have a great time. Go expecting something familiar like Louise & Clark, Superman Returns or any version that’s being made for film or television and you’ll be disappointed, or maybe just maybe youI’ll understand why those DC Comic Books were and still are so well loved.

If you are a fan of the original Broadway score you are in for a treat. Spielberg has delivered what no other director in history could. A visually rich tapestry sewn together with the most powerful vocal performances to grace the silver screen. This fresh new vision based on the original stage production will not disappoint. See it now, because you’re going to want to see it again. It’s that good.

Jo Ellen Pellman is the Break Out Star of the year. And in a year of stress and struggle The Prom is a shine light. It even survives the grueling portrayal of a gay man by my least favorite actor of all time, James Gordon. That being said. This is not just a musical about bigotry and the LGBQ community, its for anyone who has ever struggled with their identity, faced discrimination or hate for being true to themselves. Take a chance. Open your mind. And have some fun. Heal.
