OK. I was watching the George Reeves series and God...he looked exactly the same as Clark Kent and Superman. Not even a different hairstyle.

The movie was dull and forgettable. Its the lack of pace...what's going on? Why is it so slow? WHY IS EVERYTHING CGI?? As advanced and impressive CGI is in the 21st century, I appreciate the effects from Superman: The Movie far more. I understand and acknowledge that like a character/world such as Superman you need special enhancements, but even Spider-Man didn't use as much CGI that SR used. Superman doesn't wear a mask, so it looked even more painfully obvious than Spider-Man [the movie that is, 'Spider-Man 2' was a vast improvement]. Its almost unreal how a film in 1978 everything looked more 'real' (the flying, the airplane scene, etc) that a man can fly. They should of taken that route, after all it is a homage continuation isn't it?

Well, the main reason I didn't like it? This movie was supposed to be a continuation of the original franchise, correct?

Anyways, it was supposed to be tied, perhaps loosely, to the original franchise (not like Batman Begins where it was a new start).
They would have been much better off if they had started the series over like Batman Begins.

And if they are going to do a continuation then they should have cast older actors than Routh and Bosworth. They would have been fine for an origins story but them as a couple who have already had the adventures in... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (rattleme) http://thejjb.com/sreply/5915602 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 13:43:37 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Watching Superman Returns... **spoiler** ]]> http://thejjb.com/reply/5913091/t/Watching-Superman-Returns-spoiler-.html#reply-5913091 feeds@kickapps.com (Random Sandwiches) http://thejjb.com/sreply/5913091 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 01:36:46 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Watching Superman Returns... **spoiler** ]]> http://thejjb.com/reply/5907883/t/Watching-Superman-Returns-spoiler-.html#reply-5907883 i just loved seeing that there is this incredible burden for Superman/Clark that no one can really truly understand; where he succeeds, he's going to fail elsewhere; he can't be in 2 places at once even though he will try; how there are bigger things in this universe than even his love for Lois Lane and how he's willing to sacrifice everything, his life if need be, for the greater good.

Yeah. That's what I love about comic book movies, those central character conflicts. With Spiderman it's his sense of responsibility and the burden he carries with it, with Batman it's having to be willing to make himself an outcast and a wanted criminal in the name of his mission, be willing to be cast as the villain when really he's the hero, and with Superman it's this messiah thing. He has to live amongst humans and wants to involve himself with humans while always knowing that he's not one of them, he has to be their... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (insomniachollie) http://thejjb.com/sreply/5907883 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 14:53:11 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Watching Superman Returns... **spoiler** ]]> http://thejjb.com/reply/5907772/t/Watching-Superman-Returns-spoiler-.html#reply-5907772

There's a wax statue of him as Superman in NYC and I may or may not have ogled it and taken pics with it. image


Me too! I thought he was really good. Bosworth as Lois however, really irked me. I think she was trying to do Katherine Hepburn too much and she just should've played it more natural.
I don't get why so many ppl hated the movie either, my friends and I really enjoyed it. The Superman theme in the beginning always gets me super excited & feeling like a little kid again.

Anyways, it was supposed to be tied, perhaps loosely, to the original franchise (not like Batman Begins where it was a new start). We watched it and I felt like I had seen the movie before. After getting out of jail, Lex Luthor comes up with a diabolical scheme with prime real estate to make money, but naturally his scheme will cause innocent deaths. I'm pretty certain they recycled at least a few lines from the first Superman too.

I'd forgotten how much I hate the sequences where they're beating him up on the Kryptonite island and then when he falls back to Earth after putting the thing into space. It's horrible, they're kicking the shit out of him and it's heart breaking
