Last night Rob and i were discussing the 2006 film Superman Returns. Now i liked the movie a lot and actually thought Brandon Routh made a great Superman/Clark Kent. I remember when Kath and I saw it in the theater i felt like a little kid again when the opening credits started and the John Williams Superman theme started playing. I wasnt dissappointed with the movie. Three years later thinking about it-there were a couple of thing that didnt sit right with me.
1} Superman didnt punch anything! There were a few awesome action scened where he stopped a crashing airplane and things like that but no fighting. Well there was kind of a fight scene that bothered me. He got around some kryptonite and then Kumar(of Harold and... fame} was beating him up.
2} the movie was suppossed to be a continuation of the original first 2 superman films from the late 70's/early 80's. If you recall in Superman 2 he lost his powers,Lois Lane found out he was Clark Kent and they ended up doing the deed. By the end of the movie Clark gave her a super kiss and made her forget everything that happenned. Ok fine thats cool. However in Superman Returns Lois has a super kid as a result of having relations with the man of steel. Here comes the plot hole--Superman made her forget they had sex. So she's not at all concerned that somehow she was pregnant with supermans kid but doesnt remember sleeping with him? She's not thinking maybe he slipped her a super roofie and went to town?
ok really thats the only things that bothered me about it. I hope if they ever get around to making a sequel He at least throws a couple of punches. Just read that Brandon Rouths contract for doing a sequel has expired. Hope there would be away to let him be in another superman film if there ever is one. Or I'd be happy seeing him in more Kevin Smith films. And thats Jay harping on super hero movies yet again
