Superman Returns - Crap on a stick.

[blah]

Well, that was a good way to waste 2 hours and 45 minutes, I guess. On the car ride to the theatre, I thought to myself, "Why am I here?" "This is going to be stupid." It was boring as a plus.

Apparently this movie is about Superman coming back from checking a tip he had gotten that Krypton was actually still in the Universe, and hadn't blown up. I don't know if this followed the movies from the 80's/90's or whatever, but it was just a bit overdone.

Throughout the length, I felt like I was more in a combination of a wannabe-thriller and chick-flick, with the 'strong-but-quick' rfekindling of Lois and Superman's love. Plus, they introduced a child in the movie, which this isn't a spoiler since it's expected since upon the moment Clark and he, Jason, meet, you can assure yourself that Jason is his son. And then there's the scene in Lex's boat, where Jason shoved a piano into a man who was attacking Lois. (His mother.)

The one thing I hated the most was how they tried to make the audience believe that Superman was dead. Why? How stupid! A comic that came out in the 50's that's still to this day going on is going to have no segment of the storyline where THE CHARACTER/MAIN HERO WHO'S NAME IS THE FREAKIN TITLE OF THE DAMN SERIES DIE.

In short, this movie was nowhere near among the best, but it wasn't the worst. Maybe second-worst. So don't expect much if you go see it.

Wow, that bad huh? I'm not really a big Superman fan so I don't know if that follows the original movie or not. Those older ones are kinda strange to watch now that we're used to what is produced today.
Anymore, it seems that the film industry can't handle making decent comic/superhero worth seeing. All they worry about is how realistic the effects look.

except theyre not even good at that! theres a cardboard ad in our store, and its supposedly superman w/ an arm up flying over a city or w/e right? well...its so stupid because you can see that the actor is just standing there, hes sposed to be flying but his hair is perfect and untouched by the winds he must feel on his face i get really upset wen i see it cause i wanna burn the cardboard...

[Darkbugg]

Just shows ya that they're more worried about looks.

LOL@burn the cardboard!

[blah]

Everything gets so cheesy these days. Like during the movie, when Superman pulls half of the boat out of teh ocean, you can kinda tell that he's just laying on it with a certain 'strugglish' look on his face, and the boat is moving on it's own.

[Natsume]

haha they got rid of the cardboard one i hated, i guess someone beat me to the flame but there are other cheesy ones where he looks "heroic" NOT! is it a bad actor, or is the actor just not suited for the role? i have no clue who the guy is so wats ur opinions?

[blah]

Well, I thought they would've buffed up the actor jsut a bit so he would actually look like Superman. All they did was pick up some nerd to portray the "Strongest person in the Universe" (More like the DC Universe...ICEMAN PWNS SUPERMAN!!!).

I hyperlinked...

I can tell quite the difference between a Hero, and an actor who is forced to act for being too nerdy to be a model.

((Edit: I like how the drawn Superman's belt looks more realistic than the movie costume's! And it looks more like they made the costume's 'S' smaller than the original to make the actor's chest look bigger, even though he still looks too scrawny to be a hero.))


Did you see it Natsume? I know there were a lot more cheesy parts, that's just the main one that caught my eye. There were maybe 3 parts I liked in the entire movie. That's it.

[Natsume]

nope, i havent seen it (dont plan to ever do...) i chose Nacho Libre over it today and i would like to repeat myself in saying the actor cant portray the "heroic" look right. hes awful. (lemme find the picture of the cardboard one i hate...)

Edit: here is the closest i could find...the one that was in our store showed the city all the way around him (it was a rectangle)

[blah]

Tom Welling could pull it off better. I don't know what happened to the other pic I had put up though.

[*Mello*]

hmmm... that brandon routh looks kinda prissy to be superman, IMO. And the other guy is better, but still doesn't seem right. I don't know.... depends on what age they were going for *because tom welling just looks a little younger, i guess * Isn't he from the series smallville, or am I just confused

and btw... I haven't seen the new movie *probably never will for a long time, i'm just not very interested* so there's some things I don't know (like the age thing... at what point in his life the movie was supposed to be taking place...)

[blah]

It took place about 5 or 6 years after Loise wrote the "I spent the night with Superman" story, since that's whenever they kind of 'made' Jason. (The kid)

[Preppy Fellow]

You have the right to your opinion. I guess.
Personally, I enjoyed it. Especially the romance. Superman's girlfriend is beautiful. I can't believe they had a child together
That's was a great revealment. No kidding. Whoa!
I tell ya' That really had me to the edge of my seat. So does anyone know if a Superman 2 will be released?

[Natsume]

no clue, though I havn't heard anything since, so I'm guessing nah.
