As a kid back in the 1960s I would read the old Superman comics. Those were pretty fun, but then came the campy TV shows and the less than thrilling movies, and well, I sort of found Superman less appealing.

Those early comics often showed Superman as a foreigner alien who talks about equality for all people. Sure, they were dates (as stuff from the 1950s and whatnot it, but as a kid I always thought of Superman as that alien who came and showed us how to get along with each other.

Well, I was hesitant to go see a new Superman movie, as I have been disappointed by the ones in the past who just made Superman campy or ignore the alien aspect of his background.

But this movie has a dog! Yes, that hooked me to go see the 2025 Superman.

I loved it!

I was taken back to the original comics where the alien Superman shows us how to be the best humans we can be.

This movie is great. Yes, it has lots of special effects, but in the end the story is more about people than about fighting monsters.

Did have a couple violent scenes which were not expected.

Great movie. Highly recommended for people over 13 years old.

I really like the Donna Reed Show, but this episode of the Donna Reed show is the worst of any episodes in all eight seasons. Donna and Alex have minimal parts, and the actors seem bored with it. Trisha is about the only good spot in this ridiculous episode. The premise, weak and sexist as it is, revolves around Smitty and his new girlfriend. She is some kind of something with psychobabble. She insists women are the stronger sex, but Jeff and Scotty (same actor as who plays Jimmy in a different episode) object, but Smitty is just smitten. Their girlfriends (one played by Candy who plays various girls in the show) support the claim. The episode is a stupid battle of the sexes and the boys talk about dominating women. Utterly disgusting. No humor. No friendly banter, just ugly sexism. Totally different than the quality written in the vast majority of other episodes. Very weak. Stereotypes abound, and just meaningless drivel. The last three seasons of the show are very poor compared to the first five.

Megan Leavey is a very well made movie. The acting is superb. The filming is excellent. The story is engaging. This film portrays the horrors of PTSD and the consequences of war. That is true for the vets, as well as for the war dogs. The only downside I see, and it is major, but I am not sure how it could have been addressed in this movie, is that of the reasons why US service people and animals were ever deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. The geo-political reasons and whatnot for destroying so many people are not addressed at all in this film, and maybe that is okay. Yet, I hate to see politicians yet again send fine people, and animals, into harms way on less than essential reasons. The veterans are to be applauded, but the politicians are not.
