Superman Returns: A fresh look
Dec. 31st, 2006 01:47 amOk, so I watched Superman Returns and it makes a lot of difference watching it straight after watching 1 and 2.
I didn't realise how many quotes were taken directly from the original two films. A nice homage possibly but also possibly unnecessary.
Brandon Routh isn't actually that great is he? I like his Clark a lot better than his Superman. I dunno, there was something about his voice and he looks kinda young compared to Christopher Reeve. Kate Bosworth looks young too but I noticed that the first time I watched it
Kevin Spacey is a great Lex though. Possibly even better than Gene Hackman.
Overall I just felt a little...I dunno...disappointed this time. The first two times I watched it I was caught up on the excitement of it being a new Superman film and it had been years since I'd seen the first two so I didn't really notice the things that were wrong with it
I'm sure most of you will disagree. It seems to be the week for it. LOL.
But, with that in mind, a poll
[Poll #897885]
I've included 3 and 4 even though they suck, just in case some poor deluded soul likes them ;)
