I didn't think the movie was that spectacular. Thought Mr Brandon Routhsisface was good but no exceptional (except when you think he's a newbie who carried off the main role of a revitilised franchise). Bryan Singer is of course a god - I think we can safely say the wee character defining moments (Clark goofing) were down to him. Or at least I like to think so. But anyhoo, I thought Lois was so poor that she brought down the whole movie. Were we really supposed to believe that she was a mum and a successful journalist?! Methinks not dear lady. I just couldn't see why Clark would like her. It relied to heavily on the people who had emotionally invested in the franchise before - which is a little tough considering how long ago the prvious movies were. Methinks there was a wee slip up in casting, and in the script writing really. Should have been at least one scene were the audience was shown why he was in love with Lois. Soooo, I've babbled. Woooo! Look at me go. Didn't deserve the 5* Empire review (the only reason I rushed out to see it on the day of release) but nor did it deserve the 2* The Independent gave it. Better than Pirates anyhoo.
Hugs!
p.s. Are you impressed Amy? Look at my comment leaving. *Comment leaving dance* p.p.s. I know what you mean about wanting to keep a film special so it's like the first time you saw it. I did that with Before Sunrise, left it a year but because I loved it so much I'd remembered such a huge chunk of it (very unusual for me) that the plan did nay work at all!
