well, was it worthwhile to sacrifice a monday night's rest and relaxation (i.e. vegging out) at home for SUPERMAN RETURNS?off hand i'd say it was, but barely...plotline was a bit flat in places, pacing slightly off, too long a movie (some judicious editing would enhance it by far), a campy and staid portrayal of the arch-nemesis, and just not enough action...
but trite it never was...one gets the sense of gravitas and respect that director bryan singer has for the Superman franchise...the movie's so respectful of Superman traditions that even the pickiest of die-hard fans should love it...
brendan routh being the complete unknown that he is, comes off somewhat wooden and actually downright silly when he's portraying clark kent (a bit too put on) but as the man of steel, he more than cuts the correct cloth...life is just not fair, the bugger's good looking as hell, well built, tall (6 foot 4 thereabouts) and if word on the net is true, more than a bit well-endowed in the groinal area (word is, he had to be digitally DE-enhanced
)...kate bosworth is miscast, i feel...too young looking for the role of lois lane...just not right, unfortunately...but ooh la la, she's got some fine gams...
special effects were outstanding as expected from a film budget of around us$250 million...
overall, i felt satisfied coming out of the cinema...i'd give it a 7 out of 10...not bad for a movie with such a "dated" (for want of a better word) and well-known concept...
