Superman Returns

Date watched: 29 June 2006

My Review:
Superman Returns was not a really nice movie to watch. In the movie, it shows that Clark Kent / Superman did some soul searching for 5 years. After 5 years, he came back from Krypton and went back to work, only to find out that his love interest; Louis Lane is already engage to another guy. She even has a cute and handsome son, which he later found out that it’s his son because the boy has super strength too. Lex Luther on the other hand, had found out Superman’s father’s graveyard and toke the crystals that was left behind for Superman. The crystals are worth a lot because it’s the key to very advance technology. In the end superman was in a coma but woke up after spending some time in the hospital. If I would have to rate Superman Returns, it would be a slight below average. In the movie, indeed it shows how strong he is, every part of his body is made of steal. There is one scene that really captured my attention, which is the part where a guy pointed a gun at Superman’s eye and shot a bullet at it. Not only did the bullet not injure this Man of Steal, the bullet just bounce out of his eye, it was squash. In this movie, Superman did a lot of flying and did show how strong he is, but I personally would like to see more action scenes. There are scenes in the movie that is also quite fake when Louis Lane was in the plane and she knock onto so many things but wasn't even hurt. In fact, none of the passangers were hurt, even when they went to outer space, the people in the aeroplane was calm and acted as though it's just a normal rough flight. The most silly part of the movie is that Louis Lane can't even reconise Clark Kent without his specticles. The only difference between Superman and Clark Kent is the voice and the specticles. As for the comedy part of the movie, the only person that played the “comedian” was Lex Luther. The actor playing Luther is just not bad enough for the character.
