I liked Superman Returns, but I hated Broadway Lex Luthor. I was convinced that Kevin Spacey was going to break out in a song.
I had an interesting learning experience back in 1978. I had always been a huge fan of Superman comics. I had a friend who was mentally challenged and couldnt read, but he absolutely loved the old TV series with George Reeves. When we talked about the movie, he didnt like it because it was so different from the series, while I loved it because it was so close to the comics. Its all a matter of perspective.
These are the same people that like to eat liver and think France has actually won a recent war.
I really enjoyed it. The characterization of Superman felt very different this time around. In every other film/TV show, Superman always felt like a human with an exotic background and super abilities. With this film’s focus on Kryptonians, even by the end of the movie I still saw Superman as an alien living among us.
I thought that was very different and interesting.
