My take on Superman Returns

Well I went out last night and caught a late show of Superman Returns. Here is my list of good and bad things from the movie. If you haven't seen it yet this may have some spoilers, but the movie has been out long enough so to hell with you if you haven't seen it yet.

Stuff That I Liked:
#1: Superman was Super, he was shown to be as powerful as he is in the comics. It always bothered me in the previous incarnations of Supes (movies) when he would struggle to pick up a car. He's freaking Superman, he can move a planet!
#2: Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor. Great job as LL, more evil than he has ever been portrayed on film before.
#3: John Williams score. I agree with Creamer on this one, I got all goo when the opening music started.
#4: Airplane sequence. Probably my favorite part of the movie.
#5: Scenes of Superman flying, best looking and most realistic looking ever.
#6: "Didn't there used to be two of them?"

Stuff I Didn't Like:
#1: Too much Lois Lane and she looked way too young.
#2: SuperBastard Baby- I kept waiting for the kid to have a different expression on his face, talk, do something and quit being such a wimp. Supermans kid has asthma, and is allergic to all types of food?
#3: Nasty, walking skeleton, skanky Parker Posey. I think that if I was Lex Luthor I would have a hotter girlfriend than her. One with tits, not the chest of a 10 year old boy. And why didn't Lex push that bitch out of the helicopter when she dumped the crystals?
#4: Anti-Climatic ending.
#5: Soooo...a Kryptonite land mass doesn't affect Superman if he picks it up from the bottom?
#6: Perry White and Jimmy Olsen- were they in the movie? Easily forgotten characters in this movie.

Overall I would give it a 3 out of 5 stars.

Of course the big question that I had the entire movie was...Didn't Phoenix kill Cyclops in X III?

What the hell have I been doing?


What the hell have I been doing? Well, I took vacation last week, didn't go anywhere but spent some quality family time. Took the Henry Clan to the Zoo, it was Emmalou's first time their. We all had a pretty good time. Emmalou especially loved the Giraffee, she kept saying she wanted to go back and see Melman.

On Tuesday we bought Jen a brand new used car. It is a 1999 Potiac GrandAm, it looks pretty much exactly like this one but it is purple. Plum to be more exact. It is pretty pimped out too. We were unfortunately forced to find another car because after dropping about $2500 into the Jeep Cherokee, it still isn't running right. So I will probably end up taking the the Jeep out somewhere and setting it on fire.

I still haven't went to go see Superman yet, will hopefully do so soon. I have to admit that I am more looking forward to Clerks II than Superman though.

I will be watching the UFC pay per view tomorrow, the Ultimate Fighter reality show got me interested in the UFC again. Saturday nights show will feature 2 big grudge matches. Tito Ortiz vs. Ken Shamrock and Tim Sylvia vs. Andre Arlovski. Both matches should be pretty awesome. If you haven't checked out UFC you should.

Gotta go, suck it bitches.
