We’re going to see Superman Returns in a few minutes. It better be worth the two and a half hours of my time, that’s all I have to say. You who have already seen it and gave it positive reviews on your blogs, you better not be duping me!
Update: Wow, I’m surprised to see your comments about the length of the film because I didn’t find it too long at all. In fact, it was between Pirates of the Caribbean or Superman Returns and I picked Superman simply because I fairly sure I wouldn’t enjoy Pirates (even though I did like the first one) but I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Superman that much either. I was pleasantly surprised at how well Brandon Routh took on the role, particularly his portrayal of Clark Kent. His mannerisms were spot on. I was prepared to hate him simply for not being Christopher Reeve but I got into the story and didn’t find it boring at all. I also enjoyed Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor and Parker Posey as Kitty.
Oh well, to each their own. :)
*** SPOILER ALERT ***
Was it just me, or did you know from the get-go as soon as seeing Lois Lane’s son that he was Superman’s son? I’m really looking forward to where they take that storyline in future films.
I didn’t like it. I found it too long and not enough action scenes. I feel asleep half way through it and slept for around 30 minutes, woke up and had missed nothing. They could have easily cut 45 minutes out of the movie without making any difference.
I agree completely with Heather’s review. I only wish I’d been lucky enough to fall asleep for 30 min! It really was slow-moving, way too long, and boring.
