Rankings:

Superhero Moment
4/5

The first battle scene in Golmira. You see his compassion, but also every weapon in his arsenal.

It continues in and through saving the pilot.

Casting
4/5

So good that it literally laid the foundation for a decade of movies.

Costume
4/5

Fantastic. Especially for the time. And they even managed to work in the original armor.

Theme Song
3/5

Notes

12 years later and it still holds up. I remember how excited I was at the time, and that same excitement still holds up.

Suffers a bit from the “bad guy is just an evil version of the good guy” that Marvel does.
