And another of my favorite critics comes away from Superman Returns disappointed.
Here’s Jason Morehead, otherwise known as Opus, on Bryan Singer’s Man of Steel.
Please observe his cautionary note:
…as my wife and I discussed the film after seeing it, we found ourselves reflecting on several reasons why the film didn’t work nearly as well as we’d hoped or thought it might. Mind you, we still enjoyed it, but like X-Men: The Last Stand, it felt lacking in some rather substantial ways.
While I normally try to avoid spoilers whenever I’m writing about a movie, I might cross the line at certain points within this entry. Consider yourself warned.
That was an atrocious movie. Like Marie-Antoinette, Sophia Coppola is too self-indulgent for her own good.
But what did you think of “Lick the Star”? 😉
(It used to be you could see that short on IFC every once in a while.)
It draaaaags in the beginning and middle and then speeds up and ends too quickly. Meh.
Here’s another rave from Brett McCracken:
