I saw Superman Returns on Saturday evening and it was really awesome. Great great great. I really like the fact that directors seem less afraid to make long films now. This is obviously only a good thing if the film itself is good, otherwise it’s just an expensive way to get a numb bottom.
But having more of a good film is what I enjoy. It’s nice having a slow build to the first big action sequence rather than something in the first five minutes.
I was mightily weirded out by Lois Lane having Superman’s kid. Apart from the strange biology of it, have these people not read
Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex - or at the very least seen Mallrats?
