And here's the belated Superman Returns topic. I didn't expected the movie to be very long; it lasted 2-and-a-half hours. Before I watched it, I had a feeling that this would NOT be an action-packed movie since there were no 'super-villains'. That held true as the movie seemed more like a romantic drama of sorts. I read that this movie continues from where the old Superman 2 movie left off so it kinda retcons everything else.
The movie has a very 'old-school' feel to it. Superman flies around, saving the people in need, accompanied by grand orchestral music and the cheers of adoring fans. It was very well-done so it did not feel one bit cheesy at all. I found myself engrossed and somewhat touched by the people who are routing for him.
But then, I almost cringed when I realized it was kid-friendly show. Thugs can fire gigantic gatling guns at cops, destroying cars and inanimate objects but no one dies (with the exception of one scene). Well, cos' Superman is there, no one ever gets hurt. It kinda takes away the excitement. Never mind, I always have high hopes for superhero movies. Let's hope there is a sequel and they make it a little more action-packed.
