Superman Returns - My movie review
This movie was ok. Just a movie rental. Nothing special. The only thing good about this movie was Kevin Spacey. He is an incredible actor and was fabulous playing Lex Luthor. The bullet shot was a great special effect as well. I didn’t mind Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane. She could have been a little more harder and edgy. She was a little too soft. *Spoilers below*
The Lex Luthor story line was fantastic. The superman love interest story line was poor. Superman knocks up Lois Lane??!!?? Oh come on! What the heck was up with the lovey dovey scenes? That just made me want to gag. Superman has a kid? *sigh* It’s like the writers couldn’t figure out what to do. This to me was a video rental. The Smallville premiere for Zod was WAY better than this movie.
The thing that ruined it for me was Brandon Routh. I hated Brandon Routh as superman. Quite frankly he sucked… he doesn’t look like Superman. He looks like a gay superman. Christoper Reeve is Superman, Tom Welling is Superman. All those 2 men look and act like Superman. Routh doesn’t. I was so annoyed by Routh that I couldn’t get into the movie. I was so disappointed in this movie.
The acting was terrible by all the main characters except for Kevin Spacey. All the actors bugged me with their horrible acting ability. Parker Posey who played Kitty, Lex Luthor’s girl is a terrible actress. She was extremely irritating to watch and listen to. If Lex Luthor is so smart, one would think that he would surround himself with people that are smart, not a bumbling nitwit for a girlfriend. Routh could use a few acting lessons himself. The scenes that were a good concept on paper were ruined by adding Routh in. He made them be corny. Routh has no emotion to his face. Tom Welling would do way better in those scenes.
Give Superman’s kid a haircut! The kid’s hair bugged me.
I think if they casted better for Superman the show would be much more enjoyable. I like action movies, but this one is not one that I enjoyed. Ryan on the other hand loved it. A lot of my friends went to see it and loved it. Me? I thought it could have been waaaay better. Less lovey dovey story line, more action, better casting.
