THA LORIDER GOES TO THE CINEMA: SUPERMAN RETURNS














recap:
so Superman's been away for 5 years and does he have some surprises waiting for him!!!

sorry it has taken me a couple weeks to post about this movie, but it was such a life-altering event (*SARCASM ALERT*) that it took me a while to gather my thoughts. upon reflection, I decided that people probably go to this movie through different motivations (yeah, I'm deep like that), so I'm splitting up my review for the different camps. *SPOILER ALERT* just highlight if you want to read the spoilers......

Superman "freaks":
definitely go see this movie - I thought it rocked!!! sorry, it didn't alter my life, but I'm sure it will for you. you plan to play the Superman theme at your wedding????!! actually, me too. and also the Death Star theme.

"analytical" & "deep" people:
in this movie, Superman once again proves that he is an alien from another planet by failing to undergo any yucky, human-ish character development, despite the fact that the director was apparently trying for it, and planning for it based on his constantly dangling the hope of said character development before us like tasty, tasty meat dangled before wolves (I feel cheated & somewhat cheap-no comments pls, anon) however, the formulaic-ness and going nowhere-after-all-ness of the plot was rather soothing to my media-blitzed american brain, so I wouldn't discount this movie just on account of that.

nerds:
the CGI was absolutely great (unlike other movies I could mention *cough-LOTR-cough*). the f-X (as we say in tha "biz") and camerawork made the action parts of the movie truly fantastic - I was literally on the edge of my seat a few times, and certainly didn't notice the movie was 17 hrs long till I left the theater.

poncy-actory concerns:
kevin spacey and parker posey were super! (haha - get it?)

people-who-just-watch-movies-for-the-plot:
SUPERMAN HAS A KID!!!!!!! but Lois is still going to stay with her husband (not Clark/Superman - long story. omg did I just give away that CLARK KENT IS ACTUALLY SUPERMAN?????? my bad.)

people-who-just-think-Superman-is-hot:
the new superman guy is pretty hot (also, he vaguely reminded me of jebus, I don't know if that was a coincidence or a "subtle" theme that was repeately pounded into my head, through imagery, visuals, dialogue, etc, over & over &overokay Bryan I get it jeez I'm not retarded!!!!!):

so go see it!
