After staying up to watch the World Cup Semis early this morning, I am in no mood and mental state to give you guys an articulate review of the Kinky-Kaped One from Krypton. Severe sleep deprivation. BUT! I did manage to stay awake all through the blardy 2 hrs and 40 mins. And now I need toothpicks.
So in standard Kindergarten-style, Like and Dislike columns...
Five Things I liked about Superman Returns :
1. Kate Bosworth. Need I say more. Lucky devil you Orlando Bloom.
2. Man of Steel's new updated outfit. Looks either ClimaCool or DRIFIT with a nifty embossed 'S' on his hulky chest. And the red cape changes color with the light. Dark maroon in low light and oxygenated-blood red in bright light. Chic.
3. Special Effects and CGI not too shabby.
4. At least Brandon Routh really looks the part. Unlike Daniel Craig, the new 007. Eww
5. His son is cute. Asthmatic, but cute.
Five Things I disliked about Superman Returns :
1. Too much loving, not enough loathing. Why didn't Lex Luther get punched in the face and kicked in the groin? Action, I want more action.
2. Could just hear the collective sighs of all the girls in the cinema whenever Supes came on. Man of Steal this fella. Stealer of your girlfriend's/wife's/lover's/mistress' heart that is. He makes all us Men feel inadequate.
3. One Pomernarian ate another Pomernarian and there was an indication that the remaining Pomernarian would also be eaten by humans. I dog lover lah.
4. The whole crystals growing out of the water bullshit got damn boring. Plus the flying around and lifting of much-too-gargantuan thingees. Director Bryan Singer should learn the words 'edit' and 'pace'.
5. I don't know who was more irritating. James Marsden as Richard or the buffoon Clarke Kent. James should just stick with his Scottie Mutant Oakleys and Clarke really should see a good hairdresser.
Ok Zzzzzz =))
P.S 7/10
