It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's James Marsden
It's time for another fantastic movie review from yours truly. Not that you really care, but I've got opinions and you get hear them... lucky you!
First, I saw The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and I only have a few things to say... I'm surprised Bow Wow plays a pussy, Vin Diesel doesn't need to be in it, and the oldest son from Home Improvement is in it... what else needs to be said.
Ok, so on to James Marsden. Remember the first Family Guy episode with Death (the one where Norm McDonald does the voice)? When Death tells Peter to kill the kids from Dawson's Creek? And Peter says "I knew it. I knew I was going to be the one to have to kill those kids."? And Lois says "It's true, he said it."??
Well, I'm saying it now. I'm going to have to be the one to kill James Marsden. Not that I have anything against him (except the fact that he's way too good looking, he always looks like he thinks he's better than you, he got to play an X-Men, and he's in the new Superman movie). I'm really bothered by his character in Superman: Returns... it serves very little purpose, it's not a real character from the comic book, and he's too nice. He's just on the screen flashing that annoying smile. He is soooo dead.
This still wasn't the most annoying part of seeing the movie... which I liked because you can't argue with the great villainous coupling of Kevin Spacey and Paker Posey (oh, and Kal Penn is a bad guy too, a bad guy with no lines, no less.) The biggest problem was that half the sold-out audience was dressed in a Superman T-shirt (several had homemade capes) and they kept clapping every time Superman "saved the day." Ridiculously annoying... as if he wasn't going to catch the guy falling out of the building, stop the meteorite headed for earth and still have time to look longingly into Louis Lane's eyes. No, seriously folks, every moment of "superheroness" is touch and go for Superman.
That's why I always liked the X-Men and Batman better. They were much more mortal. The only way to kill Superman is with a made-up mineral (by the way, kryptonite is commonly used in vernacular now... why?). And remember how just the presence of it used to render him virtually helpless? Now stabbing him with a sharpened piece of kryptonite doesn't kill him. This has gotten out of hand. Batman was just a rich guy, trained in martial arts, with a bunch of gadgets. The X-Men all have ridiculous powers, but they can all be killed some how. Superman is too "unbeatable" to be my favorite superhero. I like it when the good guy is out-matched and still pulls it off.
Anyway, enough of that rant... go see it strictly for action and Kevin Spacey.
