I Saw Superman! (LITTLE Bit Spoilery)

I really enjoyed it. Some of it was magnificent.

In some ways, it’s a Superman movie for people who aren’t fans of Superman, and I do understand that. But some classic Superman elements are not included at all.

HOWEVER, there’s a lot that rocks. I am not a Russell Crowe fan and his Jor El scenes are a completely joy to watch and experience. A lot of the heart and brains of the early scenes are just purely Jor El.

Second, there’s a character on the bad guys side that I adore so much, they just did an amazing job. You will know who it is when you see the film. This person steals every scene they are in, even with very few lines. I want to write them IMMEDIATELY.

There are things that miss the mark. But I enjoyed the hell out of it.

And it has maybe the best soundtrack I have heard in years. I was in awe of the music.

Gonna see it again. I was very much worried, but I think they have produced a unique, complete vision. It’s not the comics Superman. If you go there expecting that, you may be disappointed. But I found it a really entertaining vision with some stealthy emotional moments that hit hard, even after the movie is over.

I saw it at the midnight premiere in my tiny town’s theater. LOT of people wearing Superman shirts, and they applauded at the end.
