I watched Superman Returns the other week. I don't believe Princess ever got around to watching it, though. We often go to the video store and its always a struggle to find a movie we mutually agree upon. Now, we usually rent two movies - a good action/sci fi/violent drama for me and a chick flick for her. Obviously, Superman Returns was my pick. Princess and I actually attended the same high school as Bryan Singer, the director. He was in the grade above us. His first big movie was the Usual Suspects, which was written by Kevin McQuarrie, also a WWPHS grad. So far, I've liked all of Bryan Singer's movies. I especially liked X-Men I and II. Watching Superman Returns, however, Bryan probably should have opted to direct X-Men III. Not that Superman was bad. In fact, it was probably the best Superman movie that could be made. I think that Superman as a genre is simply a very difficult one -- it comes with a lot of baggage. There are so many expectations that come with Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, "Truth, Justice and the American Way", "Its a bird, its a plane . . ." Its almost impossible not to dissappoint. That said, I thought the movie was very good, definitely worth seeing, but not worth seeing again and again, like the X-Men movies. |
