Superman Returns Spoilers

[frigidmagi]

A few nights ago I saw this film. I enjoied it and consider it a good movie, worth the money paid to see it. While not on the level of Batman Begins, it still stand very comfortly in the margins of a good movie. The plot is interesting, the villian evil but cool and the acting is quite nice. All in all I approve, see below for discussion of plot and so on.









































Spoilers begin:

The Pros: The plot was very orginal with Lex not trying to kill Superman or rob the world bank or anything like that. No Lex has decided to do something else... He's decided to steal Kryptonian techonogly and use it to grow his own continent. How does he do this, by robbing the fortess of solitidue itself. Kevin Spacey did an excellent Luther, playing a Lex that is a cold, ruthless, intellengent bastard of a human being but with the kind of humor that has you chuckling along even if you're horrorifed. It's very clear that when things are going his way, Lex Luther loves being Lex Luthor. The visuals kicked some ass, its not everyday you see someone phyiscally lifting a mountain into orbit!

Superman, the effects on his powers are done damn well and the reason for his absence is very understandable, I would want to go see home to if it were me. While born and raised on Earth, part of him needed to see Krypton for himself, even if that meant laying eyes on a graveyard and realizing, he is the last son of Krypton. We get a few good looks at what is going inside of that harder than steel skull and it's worthwhile. Voice overs from his Kryptonian father help us see what is fueling his thought process. Superman is very much the main character and a good job is done with him. He's a great guy, even if he did do one major fuck up (C-O-N-D-O-M-S, you should try them).

Richard, Lois'... Husband or Boyfriend? Is actually a good guy... Fuck he's a heroic guy, armed with only frail human abilties he saves Lois, the kid, and Superman in the film. Clearly he's a guy who loves Lois, loves Jason and while nervious about Big Blue is willing to be friends if Supes remembers that he ain't dating Lois anymore. Frankly I find it hard to hate him and I think he get a raw deal.

Lois, I'm willing to bet some are going to call her a bitch. But I won't. Why? Well Supes did one thing before he left (without bothering to say goodbye, way to go asshole) he knocked her up. With a disappeared Superman and carrying a baby, Lois did something women in silimar situations do, find a good guy she cares about and hook up with him. Why? Well think about this lumpy, everyone and their mother knows you're supes favorite girl, he disappears and 9 months later you have a boncing baby boy with no other possible father in sight? The criminal community will not be sending christmas cards that's for damn sure. She did what she had to do to protect herself, her baby and those who were still on the planet and I don't blame her. Frankly this wouldn't have happened if Supes had stuck around. Poor Lois. On a side note I thought the actress was pretty and was glad it was some tara reid/paris hilton type.

Jason, kid... Damn man I hope you adjust well or else this is going to be messy.

Cons: Holy flying batshit, After all that shit talk about using Advanced Kryptonian weapons Lex why didn't you.... BUILD SOME!?! I hated Lex's girlfriend/fuck puppet. I hated Jimmy. I hated the damn dog. And where is Perry's cigar?

Clark Kent, Kent is just doing a cameo in this movie, he's not allowed to do anything of importence expect be a sniveling ass. I hate this Kent, I like the one from New Adventues, that guy was fucking cool. It's over 2 hours, give me some fucking Kent work dude! He's the guy who did all the growing up on the farm, he's better when not used as a mask but as a actual person. This was the biggest drag in the whole fucking movie, while I applaund your work singer... well... fuck it I'm never fair. ASSHOLE!!!

Also... two things Kent/Superman needs to be introduced to, Automatic Security Systems, and Condoms! I'm also finding it hard to believe that Supes would knock boots with a girl and then ditch her, you could have... I don't know, talked with her first? You sleep with someone under these pretenses you kinda owe them a few things. And I'm going to see the Dahli Lama not a good excuse when these days he spends alot of time in California (damn that pesky exile/death sentence!).

Still I enjoied the movie and would watch it again.

Fuck. I FUCKING HATE SUPERMAN RETURNS! I was being ripped!! Even the goddamn King Kong is still more thrilling than Superman Returns (although once the Kong showed up, of course. Before that, it was an hour of melodramatic fucks).

What, Superman saving a plane? Superman saving a car? That's routine and don't need lenghty scenes. Superman returned to his parent's house at Smallville? Clark returning to Daily Planet? Luthor's next evil scheme to dominate the world? Do they really need convoluted and lenghty scenes?

And after all those boring, TV series-esque scenes, all we get is nothing but a scene of Superman carrying an motherfucking island. Oh wow! FUCK, FUCK, AND FUCK!!!!!



The movie maker completely missed the goddamn motherfucking point!! It is supposed to be a SUPERHERO movie!!! We want superhero battles! We want superhero actions! We want fight, a big fight like we read in the comicbooks! My mom was bored, my brother Surya was bored, and I was bored. Give us our two and half hours back!!




PS: Oh, and it is the LAMEST Lex Luthor I've ever seen. Kevin Spacey's excellent talent is being wasted playing such lame Luthor. Give me LexCorp Luthor, please!
