A Close Encounter: Superman Returns

The long wait is finally over. I saw the flick last night with my friends, at Cathay Cineplex. As usual, the movie didn't start on time. But it's just okay because you almost cannot take notice of the delay since the theater-like movie house seems to be so comfy to stay on. I was excited to see not just the film but the teaser trailers for the upcoming box office films only ended with my disappoinment. I thought of seeing the Spiderman 3 teaser as they told but they just did not have it here. Anyway, the movie started and off the people begun to hold their breath too.

I find the movie quite captivating. Of course, movies like that needs to be absorbed well before you can say your piece of verdict. And I made some which I think has made realized how I miss Smallville so much. Haven't seen Season 4 yet and I don't even know which season they are into right now.

My Thumbs Up

1. Superman takes off, flies and lands so flawlessly. Though at times you can see that thin gap between reality and animation, but all in all, it's amazing how it's been done.
2. The story went quite realistic in such a way that it humanizes Superman character. It has shown his other side and it pays off.
3. Characters are well justified except for Lex Luthor. I guess it's not proper to elaborate it on this category. Later. Though, Lois Lane seems to be way too tough there. She still seems fine after all the accidents and life-and-death situation she got involved in. But as compose as she is, her personality is quite strong.
4. Brandon Routh looks perfect for the character. I like his facial expression. Something I can imitate hahahaha. He's just few tissues away from me anyway hahahaha.
5. I like how the OST (Can you read my mind) was arranged in an orchestral way, if there's such a word.
6. Given that all visual and sound effects are superb.

My Boo

1. I just had one big boo with the film - Lex Luthor and his entire story on it. I find him weak and stupid. I don't know what's the catch behind it but I couldn't take how he's managed to have someone as naive as Kitty when he's too damn smart with almost all things. And did he just lost all his wealth? That one I miss. And this is where I miss Lex/Smallville too. His idea of creating a new "land" is something so unreal. It's not even land he's creating in the first place. It's crystal. I guess I'm wrong.

Since I'm feeling like a movie critic, I'll give it 6/6 stars as inspired by the 6-star Fullerton Hotel which I've just seen few hours ago. hehehe.

This one is the Real Close Encounter! I just can't get over it when it's just about to happen soon. That kinda weird huh. I'm so excited to watch Robbie Williams. That's it. I'm excited as well to meet some friends. I can't stand to enjoy the entire concert alone. And whether they like it or not, I'll barge in to any peer group there as long as it's in my reach. hehehe.

I'm sleepy now. It's almost 2am. Just got home after touring our friend around who just arrived here in Singapore and Jess' brothers and friends.
