Fine! I can tell when I'm not wanted here!

I'm not exactly sure what I originally meant by that, but it does sound funny...

I didn't think it was that great. I was looking forward to it too. It was ultimately totally pointless...and DULL! The CGI was highly distracting...on par with any video game out there. What was the point of the movie? And the cast was wasted. About as relevant as Godfather III. Eww! Eww eww eww!

They're often the best bits in films of this context, especially for geeks who will write to George Lucas about it- irrelevant of whether he actually had anything to do with the film. Poor George.

I agree here. I thought the plot was terrible. There's a (predictable, but) kinda cool subplot in there, but everything to do with Lex Luthor's diabolical scheme was retarded.

Yup. There's one part where he's out in space, and it looks like the CGI guys submitted an unfinished product. It was silly.

But don't listen to me, cause I liked MI3.


I just want to say here and now, in Thrasher Magazine, that I did not kill Mr. Stitcha.

Here's an article on Superman 2, from Total Film:

"After spending much of his screen time in Superman Returns floating like a wood-sprite and pining like a grumpy teenager for Lois Lane, the Man Of Steel could finally be getting ready to rumble.

Director Bryan Singer told attendees at the annual Comic-Con geek-fest in San Diego that he is negotiating with Warner Bros to bring an action-heavy sequel to the big screen by 2009.

"I want to get all 'Wrath Of Khan' on this one," Singer said, prompting much gleeful squirming among the costumed masses. "Now that there's a context with characters who we're invested in, now we can go into the action realm. It's a way of rolling it out that I learned on X-Men."

Question marks have hovered over the follow-up to Superman Returns after its weaker than expected box-office results. The $250 million-plus production has sold $178 million in tickets Stateside and a further $110 million overseas – a spectacular amount of dosh, yet clearly one that might not cut the mustard with Warner Bros bean counters.

Singer's comments, however, would appear to end that speculation. Now all he has to do is sign on that dotted line…"



(Something to think about: If Superman Returns is a sequel to Superman 2 from the original series, shouldn't Singers Superman 2 be Superman 4? Or do you think they'll have the title as "Superman: *Subtitle*" for Superman Returns sequel?)

I figured you were going for a flick about some renegade enforcing his Categorical Imperative on everyone.


Due to my present condition and predicaments of being a crippled as a result of the fatal accident that I had, I am not able to carry out this contract because I can only walk on a wheel chair.

Saw this yesterday, and I quite enjoyed it-great cast, effects, action sequences and some wry moments. The first 20 minutes or so, there's still a feeling that the movie could go horribly wrong, but when it gets into it's stride, it really takes off. It drags it's feet a little at the end, but that's forgivable. Seemed to be some stylistic nods towards other movies, and a couple of in-jokes (2001, and a mention of Gotham City!), and the Christ analogy seemed pretty evident! Now that everythings set-up, the sequel could be a cracker!
