Superman Returns Flies!


O.k. First I don't really like Superman in the comics. He's too one dimensional. No Batman by any means. I have a feeling if you are a Superman comic fan you may feel cheated by this movie as it does mess with the real storylines. For me who only has a small fondness for supes on film and in animation this movie was just what I needed. It looks gorgeous and Bryan Singer has created another one of his disticnt films just as he did with X-men. The only difference is he borrows so much from the Richard Donner Superman, right down to the 70's font at the opening credits. I couldn't help but wish I was a kid watching this movie. It has that magical quality about it that will make kids excited make kids run home and draw superman, and where the PG-13 rating came from, I have no clue. It's not overly violent, there is no language to my recollection. One thing that I did notice and this must be so they can make money overseas (which is very important to Hollywood) was the line truth justice and the american way, has been changed to truth justice and all that stuff. HUH? that's kinda weird sounding, but it makes sense considering half the world doesn't want an AMERICAN hero. But I have a feeling they won't mind a Superman. I sure didn't.
