Blurb Movie Reviews - 'Superman Returns'
**Major Spoilers!!**
Bryan Singer did a great job. It drags in some spots, but the action sequences are really good. The first one with the airplane gave me that roller coaster 'dread' feeling of 'oh man, what's going to happen?', even though I know of course Superman would save the day. The technology for the visuals greatly enhances the franchise. The one from the 80's seems really outdated now.
Defamer and their 'Package Of Steel' watch, made me keep an eye out for it. You can tell they did try to minimize the crotch shots. Most notably, when he was landing once, he put his leg up, thus blocking the light so you didn't see anything. It's subtle, I wouldn't have noticed, or cared, if it weren't for Defamer talking about it.
Speaking of his package, it occurred to me during the film that after this weekend, Routh won't have to worry about getting some action for the next month. I didn't think he was all that hot, but he grew on me.
Kevin Spacey was awesome as Lex Luthor. Parker Posey, rawked, as usual. And the crystal island segment was beautiful. Two things that I didn't like, were how Lois was seriously thinking about hooking back up with Superman. James Marsden [hubba], is her hubby, and they have a kid. I couldn't believe she would just throw all of that away for the caped one.
And as for the kid, as soon as I saw him, I predicted the ending that he was Superman's, and not James Marsden's character's. That was kind of lame.
Oh, and another thing that bugged me. I know it's been discussed before, but how inobservant is the staff of The Daily Planet? How can they not know Clark Kent is Superman? Seriously, when Superman is supposedly dying in the hospital, no one notices that Clark doesn't show up for work? Superman has been away for five years, and he and Clark happpen to re-appear at the same time? Yeah, right.

Hey, watched that movie and think Singer did a good job. Love most of his movies anyway. Since you mentioned about the superman's package, haha...how did they manage to hide/minimize the crotch size? Haha.
