Let’s just say that there are some things in my life now that is frustrating me, nonetheless.. there seemed to be a calm within me. Cos there is a deep assurance that more important stuffs are happening the way I want them to be. I just want to take things very slowly.. and see if the bubble bursts quickly enough before it gets high up into the sky. Please dont. ;p
Watched Superman Returns.. woohoo..
I know its been given a 4 to 5 star ratings especially for the effect and all. But I felt something different after watching it. Of course, I was still quite amazed by the movie. Don’t get me wrong, its not exceedingly good.. but I am amazed at how the character was build up throughout the movie.. from the start in fact. This is pretty rare in a SuperHero Movie? No? Some action lovers might deemed it as draggy portions but for me, I have never felt more connected to Superman than ever. Yes, it’s the usual superheroes cannot lead a normal life thingy, and his girlfriend married a down to earth, Mr. Nice guy. I guess.. what I felt deep down was, they accepted each others’ situation and choices. And they still choose to be around and look out for one another. Isn’t this greater love than a lot of married couples who seemed to be together physically, but their hearts are so far apart?
The effects too were pretty good! Except that I thought Kevin Spacey has overdone the villain role. He & His ‘mistress’ was the only comic-looking act in the show. The rest of the cast really blended in very well.. and it didn’t occur to be a comic-book adaptation until when you see the amazing acts and powers of Superman! Cool!
I wanna watch this again. An enjoyable movie if you take it in strides and go with the flow. The magical part always happens when Superman/or his mortal being Kent Clarke is alone with Lois Lane. You can see how gentle & giving he was to her. I’m a total sucker for gentleman-ism. And it helped that Superman looked complexion perfect and undyingly suave despite going through all those life threatening acts. He, reminded me of Final Fantasy Characters! Picture Perfect & not a single stand of hair was out of place.. Haha.
