The Mack Attack

Thought-provoking clap-trap for the skeptic-minded

Saw Superman Returns last night.

A little disappointing, but its pretty hard to mess up the story of Kal-el.
I think Bryan Singer was so intent on duplicating the Stanley Donner/Christopher Reeve version/vision that the world fell in love with in the late Seventies, that he really held back what could have been a fantastic movie.
As it is, the film is s-l-o-w paced, sluggish and could easily have been an hour shorter. Routh is a brooding, characterless Superman and Bosworth as Lois Lane is a little hard to buy.

The religious metaphor of Superman as both "Savior" and "The Man Who Fell To Earth" is a little heavy-handed. The space shuttle/baseball stadium scene stands out, and there is one scene in particular, involving Superman's eye, that is an indicator of what this movie could have been...but in the end, wasn't.
