Superman Returns (2006)
Superman Returns!! Now Go Back Home!!!
Well I just saw it yesterday night and I must say...I AM SO DISAPPOINTED!! Here's where I think the movie failed and where it succeeded...
Pros:
1) Brandon Routh surpassed my expectations of him. 2) Kate Bosworth, while bad, wasn't as bad as I suspected. 3) Though predictable, the Superman's kid thing was a nice touch. 4) Special Effects were awesome. Cons:
1) They tried to do too much with this movie like it was going to be the last superman movie ever made. They crammed too many sub-plots and themes into it and it was made to look really cheesy.
2) It was too long. A lot of scenes were unnecessary. The last 45 mins were so boring that I literally fell asleep for 2 secs before my brother had to wake me up.
3) Lex Luthor has his hands on alien tech and what he wants to do with it is...REAL ESTATE!!! That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard in my entire life.
4) Kevin Spacey over acted so much that I liked Parker Posey better and Parker is known for over-acting.
5) Symbolism!!! The end with him falling to Earth while making a Christ like gesture and then dying and coming back to life was too much for me. I get where they are coming from but for god's sake (No pun intended) don't do it because it made the last 45 mins so long and boring that it almost ruined the whole movie for me.
Overall, is it enjoyable? Yes, it is. But it's really trying to be more than it is. Singer has a way of trying to make movies more then what they are. 4 people went yesterday to the movie and 2 of them hated it and 2 of them loved it. So I guess it's a love it or hate it movie. Will I see it again, probably not. I think I am more excited about the Spider-man 3 movie than this. Can't wait for that.
Tenchi Muyô! (1992)
Great Series
Tenchi Muyo is one of those rare shows that doesn't need a lot of action to get you hooked. It brings you into a world where you truly care about the characters and interactions. This is what makes the show great.
It also brings a great English voice cast. For the first two OVAs I prefer watching the English voices because the chemistry they all truly have together. To listen to Petrea Buchard and Jennifer Darling bicker brings a lot of the shows chemistry.
Sadly, The show's third OVA lacks in almost everything that made the show great. It's still good but not the best and for us American fans Funimation decides to recast Ryoko, who was one of the best characters of the show, and the new Ryoko cannot bring the same brilliance to the character as Petrea Buchard did.
