Not Super, but not bad either
I spotted the Superman Returns DVD when we popped in to do the grocery shopping, and since that movie had been on my mind for a couple weeks I figured I'd just snag it and we'd watch it. It's a decent movie, but I wasn't wowed - I'm assuming this is the beginning of another continuing series of movies and it does an excellent job of that.
There are a few quibbles, of course. Why does his kid have to be frail? It just seems like too much of a plot device to me; it's way obvious as something that will be dealt with in a later movie. Also, the beginning credits were annoying - the whole zoom in and fade thing was difficult to read. (Although probably not so much on the big screen, but I so rarely see movies that way.) Those are the little ones, here's the big one: How in the hell can he pick up that giant island made of kryptonite? Isn't it supposed to radiate anti-super energy? The whole time he was flying around over the erupting land mass I couldn't figure out why he wasn't slowly weakening. I can buy it taking a while to affect him at range, but come on - that was one gigantic mass of kryptonite death, I have trouble buying that he could do as much as he did.
Anyway, still worth the watch.
