Have been quite busy all this week....I am moving out of wipro..so had a lot of formalities...to complete...but nevertheless...I did what I love the most...watch a movie...and here I am with my opinion of the movie!!! Return of the Superman...:-)
A long awaited movie...sure...has the elements of Fantasy stories...to take it far into the levels of X-men and Spiderman...but somewhere in between lacks the killer punch that would star-bolt such movies to famedom....
Yeah...I was kind of disappointed after the movie...no strong script presence...and it rains super heroistic scenes in Superman Returns at regular intervals...and thats it to marvel about in the movie....
I am still wondering and cant come to an understanding for all the logical reasoning that I learnt!!!...why on earth hollywood movies are trying to be bollywood-ish, while all our life-time we want to emulate hollywood-ish style of making superlative movies....
Its just not about Superman...even MI 3 gave more than a subtle hint of this stance...."too much of a sentiment" is not a safe ingredient for such action movies....because the protagonist starts acting according to his feeling instead of acting according to his thinking.... which hampers whatever left-over logic in the script
Superman Returns also suffers due to this predicament....why on earth do u want so much of dialogue in a superman movie....I am sorry...I felt the movie lacked direction in the literal sense....there is so much of potential for such movies to provide over-the-earth entertainment...and I am at dismay when they say 100 crores is the cost for the movie which had at the most 10 powerful fantasy scenes....why????
Brandon Routh defintely looks alike Christopher Reeve...but the Kent character was grossly under-developed....which was sad...:-(...
Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor was the only saving grace for the movie....on the acting front I should say...he was "magnificent"...if I should use only one word...:-)...real refresher of a role...after a long time...the big baddie is also a baldie in the movie...that adds the excitement to the sketch...:-)
the computer graphics really looked childish at places...according to Hollywood standards....particularly the scenes when Lex Luthor would launch a piece of Kryptonite onto the ocean aboard a ship looked unprofessionally graphical for a hollywood movie....what happened to the CGI we see in Hollywood movies??? I felt sorry for the movie....it was like watching an Indian movie...considering and giving due respects to the budgetary shackles for an Indian film....:-)
All these cribbing apart..did the movie have anything worthy..??? if that's what is ur next question....u have an answer....YES...the movie has some bright moments as well....the sound effects and the excitement in the fantasy scenes are too good...and just super-enjoyable....thats what one goes for in a superman movie....so please provide more of those...from now on atleast...:-)
Over all verdict would be : Superman doesn't do the Krrish act!!! KRRISH was much better on the merit of a better script and story to tell....I wonder what Krrish could have achieved with all the bucks that are at the disposal of a Hollywood director....will we ever graduate there???
