Title: Superman Returns
Post by: wjp666 on July 15, 2006, 01:25:56 am

just HAVE to say a few words here. gotta say i was looking seriously forward to the new superman flick, what with all the hype and such. the trailers looked awesome too. and being a big fan of the first 3 it was quite exciting times...

saw it yesterday. and here's one word to anyone consider watching it:

AVOID!

one of the most disappointing films ever made. my heart is broken. christopher reeve must be spinning in his grave.

How sad that you say that.  Boo.  I was looking forward to it.

ive heard some great reviews of it etc... so imagine my surprise when all i could see on display was a tame script, limp plot, badly cast characters and a wafer thin story.

2 and a 1/2 hours of dross.

I am not really a fan of super hero films. I don't like anything supernatural.

Last night i watched Ray on DVD. A great film. Great music.

I liked Matchpoint.  Anyone seen that?

Walk The Line (Johnny Cash) was better than Ray.

I enjoyed Walk The Line but prefer Ray Charles' music.

You always find when they hype a film up like they have with Superman it turns out to be rubbish

Many films are rubbish these days. At least the ones at the cinema are,
it's all fancy effects and CGI but lack of quality scripts.

I hate the fact that when you go the pictures you have to sit through nearly an hour of adverts before you get to see the film and the ice cream seller has been made redundant

I just watched Kinky Boots. It was very funny.

I've seen that too. I like that sort of film. Much more down to earth.
