Dum da duh da dum, Sooo-Purrr-Man… Dum dah da dum dum, *yawn*
Just got back from Superman Returns.
A) I heard Brandon Routh was hired because he looks like Christopher Reeve. I don’t think he was hired because of his acting abilities. He said, and I’m sure you can find this on the interWeb, about 200 words for the whole movie, including a speech that was recited at the beginning of the movie.
B)Kate Bosworth= Lois Lane, if she were still in high school. The Smallville incarnation of Lois has a much bigger pair of cojones. Yes, I watch Smallville. I also watch So You Think You Can Dance? We’re not hear to talk about that. We’re here to talk about how….
C) Kevin Spacey did not get enough lines in the movie. Interestingly enough, he seemed to get more screen time than anyone, and still didn’t manage to develop his character. I would guess this is because we are supposed to ‘know’ the characters, and how they react. In fact, the movie really seemed to lack dialogue and developed characters throughout, which surprised me for a Bryan Singer film. (X-Men, X2 had at least some dialogue, and he’s a producer on House, which is very, VERY wordy. And good. It even got nominated for an Emmy)
Overall, I will continue to go see these kinds of movies, because even if they’re not cinematic masterpieces, they are fun summer movies. And if you haven’t seen Batman Begins, you really need to.
TLEMK liked it, I felt very ambivalent towards it. Next up, Pirates of the Carribbean 2.
