Superman Returns

Last night I finally saw Superman Returns with some friends (who happen to be some really cute girls). I really liked it. The musical score was very well done. The casting was good, in fact, really much better than I thought it would be. The suspense was pretty good, but I didn’t exactly find myself biting my nails. Some of the parts were kind of predictable. For example, someone falls off the building… of course Superman is going to fly in and catch him just before he hits the ground.

The movie did a good job at explaining some of the Superman fundamentals, such as kryptonite, but left some other subjects as to why Superman is called Kal-El and who is Jor-El less discussed. It made me wonder if they were trying to tune the movie to those who had never seen anything Superman before, or those who have grown up with Superman.

The dialog was entertaining, especially some of Lex Luthor’s lines. However, “I forgot how warm you are,” made me want to gag.

Overall, it was a good movie. I don’t know if I will go out and spend $20 bucks to buy the DVD, but I’m likely to want to rent it and watch it again.
