A failed movie franchise

In the 80's, following the success of Superman, they tried to launch another super-hero franchise in the same spirit. It did seem to be a good idea but the movie was really lame and flopped terribly... Obviously, this flick was intended to be the first in a series but since it wasn’t a box office success, they skipped those plans. Basically, the whole thing was just boring and cheesy. When I was a kid, I watched most of the Superman movies and, of course, I had to watch this one as well. You might want to check this out though, just to have a good laugh. It is rather interesting that, even 30 years later, they haven’t managed to make one single barely decent super-hero feature with a female character. I mean, the other more recent attempts like ‘Elektra’ or ‘Catwoman’ were pretty horrendous as well, even some of the most worst movies in this genre, and it might explain why they haven’t done yet a Wonder Woman movie, even she is one of the most famous super-heros ever created. I don’t know, maybe it is because those characters are over-sexualized in the comic-books which makes them difficult to adapt to the silver screen. Anyway, this is a pretty bad movie and it is not really worth a look, I’m afraid.
