SUPERMAN RETURNS, She Said: B+
SHE SAID:
Ok so I have to admit I was not quite as excited to see Superman Returns on a Tuesday night at 10pm in 3-D IMAX as he was, but I did enjoy the show. The 3-d part was probably the coolest part. Excluding the minor glitches that made you go blind, it was awesome to see the clarity on the action packed scenes on the big screen.
However, I do have a few minor questions/complaints. It could just be my ignorance on previous Superman history, but here are my thoughts...
1. Superman's son - saw that one coming
2. If the kid can throw a piano, why can't he open the locked door?
3. If Superman was stabbed multiple times with Kryptonite, how could he live?
4. How did Lex Luther get into the secret old school superman world?
5. Superman kind of looked like a wax figure
6. Some of the dialogue was sooooo cheesy.
7. If Superman can fly into space why does he need a spaceship to come back to earth?
That being said, I still have much respect for Superman. I know these are small complaints in the larger movie, but those were the parts I didn't care so much for, and honestly... when I think of Superman, nothing can compare to the days of Marlon Brando & Christopher Reeve.
Overall I would give the movie a B+... but I guess I am kind of biased. I have always been more of a Spidey kind of gal.:)
pfsssssssssssssssssssssss...

He Said, She Said movie reviews... I'm liking it. Although I have to agree more with your boyfriend's take on Superman. I thought it rocked!
Hello, She Said:
I didn't like the movie, but I'll take a shot at answering some of your questions:
2. If the kid can throw a piano, why can't he open the locked door?
It looks like the kid reacts in situations of EXTREME danger, such as his mother about to be killed. Sort of like Hulk, if you think about it. Being locked in a room is not extreme as seeing his mom in danger of being killed. At one point he wanted to try, but you know what happened...
4. How did Lex Luther get into the secret old school superman world?
If this is a sequel to Superman II, then Luthor already knows how to get there. The place is so isolated Superman doesn't expect anyone to trespass, although Luthor already did in Superman II, so he should have taken precautions.
7. If Superman can fly into space why does he need a spaceship to come back to earth?
The trip was 2.5 years each way, so I figure he used a ship for comfort issues. I don't think he was visiting other planets to rest (if he needs to rest). Maybe he had food there too. Remember, he's only strong on Earth, not everwhere in the universe.
Thank you She Said for your questions and thank you Aubrey for your answers. That about sums up all unanswered questions for me.
Saw it again last night and I'm ready to go again. I love this movie!
Did you hear? Over $110 million dollars in its first week. Long live Superman!
