Very nice review. Extremely well written. And interesting twist on it. It would have been interesting too, to see if I picked up on the parallel’s.

Good review. I’m glad you didn’t include any spoilers. They have an IMAX theatre nearby and I’m tempted.

I don’t want to read it yet, cuz I’m going to see it (in IMAX, baby!) on SAT. I’ll check back, and see how our reviews mesh.

I think I’d like to see this…

You asked my opinion…

Ok, other than IMAX being a nice big screen… it’s not particularly worth going to see Superman Returns there. The 3D didn’t add anything, INMO. The plane rescue, the running thru the wheat/corn (?) fields, um… a couple other scenes in 3D. Not that thrilling, and actually pretty distracting.

My perspective on this is that I enjoyed the idea of a secular savior. But what didn’t work for me was the lack of charm I’ve come to expect from the franchise. I thought Lois was kinda cold and “one-note.” But I liked everyone else, esp. Spacey. I too wish they’d given Parker Posey more to do. The movie feels more like Part One, than something self-contained. The major crisis was too isolated, and didn’t affect enough people to make me feel worried about anyone but Superman. At that point, there were a couple good gaping gaps in logic too.

That said… it was just a fun movie, solid for the most part, and I like Singer (director), but wish the script had been better.
