Superman Returns is kind of disappointing. Sad to say i have almost forgotten the details of the last episode except the image of the entrenched Christropher Reeves humanly superhero who was too busy saving her perpetal trouble-making lover Lois Lane. This new reinvention, led by Brandon Routh has accentuated superman's chivalry and his adolescent romance craving desire. His existence was solely depended on the tie of the unfulfilling relationship but Routh's acting and facial expression have downgraded the incredible into a ineffable and sacrosanct facade without any personality.
How could there be anyone so perfect with noble temperment, a true & sincere heart, romantic, faithful, all potent, smart, kind-hearted and needless to say HANDSOME, HEFTY and CONSUMMATE. Maybe we shouldn't question this superhero logically nor judge the film with common sense. Do we really need Superman in the theatre? I like the idea of Woody Allen presented in the film "The Purple Rose of Cairo". The theatres can bring some hope to people for escapism and delude people with the real and the illusion. I can't say everyone, but at least most of my female friends embraced this cute Superman coz he satisfied most of their white-knight perfection dreams.
I still prefer Tobey Maguire's flesh and blood and more down to earth Spiderman over the unbeatible wax-like red underpants hero who could only fly and lift up aircrafts. Just a personal taste!
