Movie wasn't bad.

Movie would have been better if Christopher Reeve R.I.P played superman

I think I'm gonna seee it this weekend. It's a sequel to the old ones, right?

astro's right in that the movie after about 20 or 30 minutes slowed to a glacial pace.

If that's true then it's opposite of the '78 film, which would be bad, imo. I don't mind a slow beginning to help set the backstory or characters etc. but having it be the other way around is no good...well, I'll try to see this film during the day next week.

Movies do this all the time, to good effect as far as I'm concerned. The beginning is often quick and entertaining, as it provides the hook for the viewer that catches his interest.

I'm more for having my patience be rewarded with an active, great 2nd half and ending that makes you realize all the foreshadowing/direction had a good purpose and pulls together to astound.

 

Tho if you're talking about a quick 5 minute 'shocker/action' opening scene, I enjoy those.

Acutally it makes good sense that the kid being Superman's son. The movie is a sequel of the first two Superman movies, basically overwritting Superman 3 and 4 as if they don't exist. In Superman 2 Lois and Superman did the horizontal and I doubt that they had any condoms in the Fortress of Solitude readily available. If he did that would worry me.

 

Also Lois and Superman had what I consider a messy break up, which destroyed any sort of romantic chemistry. There was a small kindling but in ruth Lois has moved on an "just wants to be friends."

 

gods I used to have that on tape

The plot and pacing of that show is actually 20x better than Superman Returns.
