in a summer that also boast such repugnant stinker a snake on a plane and the da vinci code and that a pretty bold statement . but i stand by it nonetheless . superman return and like king kong 6 month before it and be overlong and hyper indulgent and with cgi up to the eyeball . my god and this stuff be do my head in . richard donner have the idea of keep it real for his 2 outing . and i do find his approach to the special and optical effect to be the most appropriate . brian singer bombard u with so much cgi that it really take you out of the story and constantly remind you that you be watch a wannabe blockbuster that think that the only way to impress an audience be to spend $ 250 million ( a totally irresponsible amount of money ) on obnoxious visual effect that do not live up to the hype . we have see everything and be everywhere that cgi can take u . there no real atmosphere or involvement in this . and for a film that be 95 % make up of this crap . well you figure it out . i have read so many review from fanboy critic about how the movie have oul or a human heart or tender character moment . puh lease . we have already have brood superheros silently scream you would love me if you know who i be dozen of time already in recent year and sr offer absolutely nothing new in this regard . even the plot be recycle garbage . lex luthor ( a seriously mis cast and hammy kevin spacey ) plot to destroy the landmass of america be do in the first film already . and and well . that your lot . it amaze that they manage to draw out this junk to 2 . 5 painful hour . even if the cast be likable it would make it less unbearable . but brandon routh have the on screen personality of a mahogany hat stand and kate bosworth be completely unconvincing a a pulitzer prize win journalist and james marsden be 250 % wooden and a usual and kevin spacey really need to either fire his agent or acquire some good judgement . the only cast member i like be the lovely parker posey . but i be into weird look girl . every year film like this get big and more bombastic . pretty soon we will have $ 300 million film . studio need to realise that maybe they should start look down instead of look up . for all the money that warner spend on this pile of crap and for all the resource that this movie cost to make . be it worth it . in my opinion and certainly not . this garbage have put me of superman for life .
