Re: OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately
Went and saw Superman Returns the other day. Word of advice: don't take a 5 year old with you when you do. The movie is 2 1/2 hours long, and that's too long for a young child like mine. As far as the movie went, I thought it was great. Thank goodness Singer decided to base this movie only on I & II, instead of just adding to the franchise. I won't give a major surprise away, because I heard it on both the radio and tv before I went & saw it and I don't want to spoil anyone else's entertainment. I thought Kevin Spacey made a great Lex Luthor; I think he even outdid Gene Hackman. Of course the special effects were much better than they were 20+ years ago, and they are impressive. Now we know what it looks like when Superman has to save a falling airplane, as has had to do too many times in the comics. Brandon Routh does look at times like Chris Reeve, but don't let that distract you. He has every bit of a right to be on-screen as his predecessor did. Can't wait for the inevitable sequel. I wonder who'll the bad guy will for that one? I'm hoping it's brainiac, as I don't think we've ever seen him on film (other than the cartoon series).
