I saw Mamma Mia online. Yes, already! It was a snorefest and I like ABBA!
Are your criteria production values and/or special effects? Then yes every next CGI-festooned thrill fest is the best ever made. My criteria are human drama.
I just caught part of the '89 "Batman." It does--it's pretty sad. Next to Ledger's performance, Nicholson's Joker looks like a troublesome scamp.
Did you see Gary Oldman in True Romance?
He played Drexel Spivey...a badass pimp.
Classic scene when he confronts Clarence [Christian Slater].
I find it very surprising that Heath’s family would not want Matilda very well taken care of. I bet Heath would want his fortune to go to his daughter. Is their sore feelings toward Michelle?
Okay, their = there!
A great deal, yes. Nonetheless, she made more on Brokebutt Mountain that my husband makes in five years. If she can't support her child, nobody to blame but herself.
Nope. Human drama, faithfulness to the original material, pacing, performances. Pretty much whatever makes any movie a good movie. The original “Superman” was outstanding in those (the dated effects now kind of remove you from the action, but that’s to be expected), which is why it was such a great idea to make “Superman Returns” a “pseudo-sequel” to the first two Donner films.

How can this be. I thought we were all one paycheck away from being homeless.
Come to think of it, what about all thosee many many iPhones sold.
Somesing wong here.
Superman 2 was made by Richard Lester who improved on the original in every way. It’s a great film.
I’ll wait until it’s on TV.
Have you seen the Donner cut? I thought it was pretty good. A decent improvement over the original part 2.
That's what everyone says nowadays. Just a piece of paper you know, like the Constitution is just a piece of paper.
Maybe the next time she gives it up to a dude, she'll have her ducks in a row. For now, she's just her Baby's Mama, and her Baby's Daddy is gone along with his money.
Yes. Not impressed. As I said before the original S2 was a mastrpiece of its kind which was better than the first film and certainly better than that awful ending that Donner had planned and used in the first film.
Well, different strokes, I guess. I liked “Superman 2” (some scenes, most notably the “revenge” scene against that trucker, rubbed me the wrong way as being very un-Superman), but I never felt it never struck me as being the greatest of them all.
It set out to be un-Superman. Lester was a long-time American ex-patiot and wanted to do a quasi send up of Americana. Superman 3 was even more in this vein.
He was pretty good too as Mr. Zorg in The Fifth Element.
