Superman Returns
OMG! It’s finally here!
I saw it this afternoon. When the opening scene started and the moment the theme song began, I felt a strong emotion welling up inside me. I wanted to cry. I wanted to shout. I wanted to leap with joy.
I grew up watching all 2 of the superman movies. What? There’s more than 2? You mean the other abominations? Nope. Never saw those. You can’t make me admit that I saw those. You have to kill me first.
Bryan Singer made a good casting choice. Don’t know who he is, but Brandon Routh fits nicely into the Superman character. It helps that he looks like the original Clark Kent, Christopher Reeve. Kate Bosworth is fine as Lois Lane but I think I prefer the Teri Hatcher version. Kevin Spacey is excellent as Lex Luthor. But still I would like it better if Michael Rosenbaum played him.
Not gonna give any spoilers here. You can read it at imdb. Just suffice for you to know, this is a must-see. It stays true to the original 2 movies (of my time. I know there’s a few more before my time). The actors are great. The movie direction is great. Everything is great. Go see it.

Woah there!, Christopher Reeve – the original Clark Kent? I think you’ll find that Bud Collyer voiced an animated Clark / Superman back in 1941. Then Kirk Alyn played Clark / Superman in 1948, incidentally Kirk also played Lois Lane’s father in the 1978 Superman movie. George Reeves then played the role(s) from 1951 until 1957.

LOL! So there is a bigger fan out there!
Well, actually I was refering to the movie Clark Kent which I saw before. The actors before Christopher Reeves were before my time. I’m still young, ya know…

I saw the new Superman movie last night and was very impressed. The effects so far outrank the originals it wasn’t funny, but I loved that they paid homage to the previous movies. Kevin Spacey was great as Lex!
