Superman Returns AICN has an early review!

[Desk]

I preferred The Mummy Returns to The Mummy.

In the first film Brendan Fraser's character was so obviously another bland sub-par Indiana Jones-style hero that giving him a son actually helped differentiate the character from other generic, forgettable heroes.

However, Superman doesn't need a kid to make him interesting and to help him stand out from other heroes - he's Superman, for cripes sake!

Liking THe Mummy Returns and not liking T2? You're a crazy man, Tzigone.

Not a man. But I just can't stand what T2 did to Sarah Connor. She wasn't "strong" - not the way I thought she should be, not the way the first one led to believe she would be.

Also the kid was completely the wrong age and it made no sense for all the Terminators to look alike.

Oh sorry SUGAR PIE!

Mrs. Doubtfire was awesome.

Is anyone else so completely disturbed by the fact that they are trying to make Superman "emo"!?!?!

Dear lord, can they not just kill the kid and make Superman the beacon of justice he has always been? Why is it you need angst to have a successful hero?? Are we that jaded nowadays?? Tha is just sad.

Aside from the kid and Kitty doin a Tesmacher, it sounda like a great movie. Here's hoping for the best

He isn't "emo" (god i hate that crap as much as I hate how people keep talking about it) he's dealing with the exact same emoyional termoil that has been a staple of the love triangle for decades.

Sadly enough, this was most notable in Lois and Clark. The ONE thing they nailed.

yeah, but they are throwing in the kid for extra angst...personally, not a fan

plus a love triangle can be emotional without being angsty, you know?

hey.....this is kind of off topic.....

but has anyone here heard of a site called www.KillerMovies.com?

I just checked that site, and their synopsis for Superman Returns describes Supes doing arial "Kung-fu", dying, being reborn, and fighting a CIA agent named Lex Luthor!!!!!

Now, wasn't that the plot for an earlier, FAILED Superman project?

If I remember correctly, they had the same wrong synopsis for the Hulk movie.......it had Banner going to Mars and fighting 3 super-powered villians.....or something like that.

Again, totally WAY-OFF-BASE!!!!

So, in your opinion, aren't the people running that site LAZY, or even IRRESPONSIBLE? Aren't they doing their visitors a disservice by providing completely WRONG information?

I mean, if I knew nothing about the Hulk movie or Superman Returns, and I went to that site and read the synopsis for the movie......I would be like....WTF!!!! That's sounds stupid!!!!! I'm not going to see that!!!!!!

That was a rumored JJ Abrams script from McG's (i believe) days on Superman...Warners scrapped that pretty damn quick when the fan boards started flaming up.

ok.....thanks Superman79........

but.....doesn't that demonstrate extreme CARELESNESS, LAZINESS, or IRRESPONSIBILITY on the part of KillerMovies.com???!!!!

I mean........that plotline is clearly old and has nothing to do with the Superman Returns movie we are getting in just over a month.......

Really? I liked MR but I thought Mummy was better, they ruined it with the CG Scorpion King at the end. Why not just have the Rock come out and fight 'em.

 

[Tzigone]

I liked MR much more than the Mummy, but I agree 100% on the CG Scorpion King. Ecch!!

true, but some sights just don't care enough to update regularly or check their sources, that's why I stick to the Hype, and ComingSoon.net, you can trust them to be on top of things...it's the curse of the internet, you get some good and you get some bad

(oh yeah, and in your Abrams description you forgot the part where Lex is Kryptonian too )

I was thinking...since the top half was The Rock unaltered, then why not use the ACTUAL Rock instead of a CGI Rock?

So....the from the torso and up, it's the real Rock. Everything below is CGI. It would of looked much better.

That is the exact same reason that I perfered Returns over over the first one.

Exactly, I liked bothe films equally
