Superman Returns

just came back from seeing this... i'll say it straight out.. i thought it was average...

no i didn't have high expectations.. lol as soon as i heard kate bosworth was playing lois... expectations dropped hahaha...

what made it average for me was the storyline.. it didn't feel too concrete to me.. and tended to chop around everywhere... not to mention a slow beginning...

i really like movies that can carry a good story... and make it feel satisfying at the end when i leave... it just didn't do that for me..

now.. the movie wasn't a complete failure.. just the story got to me..

brandon routh as clark kent/superman was awesome.. he compeletly took the role and extended it from christopher reeve... it was like looking at a reeve's brother or something..
kate bosworth.. suprisingly wasn't that bad as lois... she looked a bit.. timid at times compared to a firey reporter that lois is.. but it was passable..
and not to mention keven spacey as expected was brilliant as lex

the music was also great.. i loved how they kept the original theme for superman and the whole retro look to the opening credits
the action!!!... finally a superman movie which can truly show how a super being can move and fight and save things.. brilliant cg stuff and good camera angles which was expected from bryan singer..
and finally i'm glad they put a 'dedicated in loving memory' thing to the reeves at the end..

overall... 7/10 (would have been an easy 9 with a more solid story)
