Look up in the sky! Its a bird! Its a plane! Its SUPERMAN!
Well needless to say i watched Superman Returns. And despite all the reviews on the internet and the dumass comments by bollywood actors ( who actually compared superman to krish!!) i have to say i enjoyed the movie. It had all the classic superman elements- the swooping rescues from falling buildings, catching a plane in mid-air, aerial tour of the city with a girl- all the good stuff that makes you love superman.
Brandon Routh for me looked the part and i did not think anyone would even come close to achieving the Superman look the way Christopher reeves did (the old superman). He (Routh) had the classic superman smile and the trademark hands on hip pose to go with it. He actually looked a lot like Reeves in the movie i thought. As far as the movie is concerned it had its bad moments. I found Kevin Spacey really irritating in the movie , but hey the guy has won two oscars who am i to trash him. Kate bosworth too was disappointing as Lois Lane. You would think a girl juggling between Superman and James Marsden would be more cheered up in life :D.
The best moment of the movie has to be when the kid throws the piano at the guy who was about to assault his mom. Yeah all of us expected it but it still was cool. He then tosses aside his asthma shot which well i just hope other asthmatic kids dont try. Also when Lois Lane kisses Superman i was half expecting him to wake up then. That would have REALLY ruined the movie.
Well its no doubt Superman is the most popular superhero of all time. As a kid you would rather fly or have x ray vision. Web throwing and pole sliding arent exactly on top every kids wish list. Also of the three (Batman, Superman, Spiderman) , superman is the only one from another planet. I guess that makes the stuff he does more believable. I think the movie could have done without the "Im always around" line. Sounds too much like the cheesy "Im your friendly neighbourhood spiderman". A Chandleresque "America loves Superman, Thank you NEW YORK, Good Night!!" might have been a better sign out line :D. Or not whatever.
