I’ve been holding off watching Superman Returns for the longest time because I wanted to watch it on the IMAX cinema at the SM Mall of Asia. But tonight, I finally watched it with some MBA friends.
Never being been into Superman, preferring Batman and his brooding nature,
I wasn’t expecting much. But the movie was so lame. It’s practically a glam movie with a dragging love story between Lois Lane, Superman, and Cyclops :P with Lex Luthor and his not-so-nefarious scheme thrown in as a side act. Needless to say, Superman wins against both Cyclops and Lex. So typical.
Good thing the 20 minutes of 3D footage sort of saved the day (or should I say the night?). I’ve said this about IMAX before but I’ll say it again: It’s great! The technology needs further tweaking but in time it will be the standard of cinema.
Rating: 3/5
