Superman Returns (2006)
terrible
hello please be aware that this contains spoilers. i watched superman returns with two of my friends at the cinema and i hated it. it was boring, excessively long, dull, badly written, poorly acted, flat, dry, dismal, dross, dire, drab. poor brandon was only chosen because he bears an uncanny resemblance to christopher reeves (although i've heard he was digitally touched up to add to the likeness). it is soo long, weighing in at about 2.5 hours and the action scenes are just so derivative and boring. CGI, god, isn't anyone else really sick of all this CGI? it looks so lame and so obvious. all the camera jolts and bounces do not add any effect to explosions at all. ugh. the story, oh come on! superman has a child? superman can't have a child! didn't anyone see mallrats? the kid would kick through lois' uterus the first opportunity! and what a pointless tacked on element it was! one scene in the film he uses his powers to injure a kidnapper. oh my. the rest of the story plays out exactly as an episode of lois and clark, except it has "better" special effects. if you liked the original superman films, don't bother with this, it's simply a bad remake, offering nothing new or interesting whatsoever. I fell asleep 3 times! MUST MISS!
Finding Nemo (2003)
what am i missing?
OK, i might be a bit of a film cynic, but that's because the overwhelming majority of wide release films are really bad. finding nemo is a perfect example of a terrible film, that for some reason everyone loves. what's wrong with me? OK, i'll give it the nice bright colours and beautiful, smooth animations, but what else is there? "memorable characters," "humour?" certainly not! i have the distinct feeling that dreamworks puts subliminal messages into their films to make people like them, because its the only explanation! all my friends, cynics, hippies, metal heads, nerds - they all loved it! WHY? when i ask them, they'll say, "oh it was funny...", or "it was colourful..." are they playing games with me? Please, some one explain how this film is good? It's 2 hours long, for a cartoon, 2 hours is far too long. It has the lamest, schmultziest story and character development. all the "crazy" characters are really simple stereotypes that have been done to death a million times before. Hey, i don't mind if your kid liked it, my question is to the parents who claim, fun for kids AND adults. I don't understand. the same thing happened with toy story and shrek. Where were these so called, "adult" jokes? why does everyone insist that dreamworks is so great? Argh! someone help me. or at least someone admit they also hated this film to save me from thinking i'm a lunatic. although, i do have an unhealthy fascination for the moon.
