-So I finally saw that Superman movie yesterday. Guess it's about a guy who flies or somethng. It was decent, and all the nods to the old movies were fun (all 23 of 'em). For the first 15 minutes, it felt like they were dusting off the old hot rod and taking it for a ride. It still worked and that was fun. Especially the same text effects on the intro and the theme song. But, when we heard the same lines being used again...and the same "awkward Clark gets caught in revolving door with Lois" scene, I started to get bored.
-I could have done without the christian/Jesus comparisons, though. Those don't work at all. The "savior" stuff was annoying and when Supes fell to earth in a crucifixion pose...puh-leeeez. Remember, Supes was rocketted from Krypton because it EXPLODED. Was Jesus rocketted to earth because Heaven exploded?
-I had forgotten that Lex was a straight-up bad guy in the movies. I was used to him being the evil corporate business exec who works the public.
-Kate Bosworth is officially the Third Most Bang-able Lois Lane. Teri Hatcher is still lights year ahead of the pack as #1. Followed by the Animated 90's Lois as a distant #2.
-The picture-phone shot of Action Comics #1 was fun.
-Landing the plane in a baseball stadium: WHOA! People actually watch baseball in Superman's world!! Sweet!
-Peta Wilson is still hotter than your momma's meatloaf. When her character was introduced I was hoping she'd be Luthor's sidekick/chauffeur (like Mercy from the cartoons and comics). Tall, touch chic in a mini-skirt...rarrrr! C'mon movie, get to that scene!! I was disappointed when Luthor's female sidekick was the flitsy "Kitty".
-Cannibalistic doggie!! Ewwwww!
-When Supes was laying in the hospital bed and we see his big schnozz and dark eyebrows, I thought: "holy shit-- that's Christopher Moltasante from the Sopranos!!" I expected him to sit up and say "what the fuck are all you faggots sitting around for? Let's get the fuck outta' here!"
-One question. Lois, Cyclops and Superbaby and about to drown in the yacht. WHY didn't they tell Superbaby to use his Super Piano Lifting Powers and get 'em out of there? Same thing when Lois was locked in that room. I couldn't figure out why Superbaby only used his powers to whack Goofy Tatooed Bald Thug. Did I miss something?
Sounds worse than I thought
I've abandoned any ambitions I had to go see this one in theaters (afterall, I've always been a Marvel mark). I suppose I'd be willing to rent it though, especially for Kevin Spacy's "WRONG!" scene.
