SUPERMAN RETURNS

Well done Bryan Singer. Just watched the much anticipated summer blockbuster at TGV with Lan to catch Bryan Singer's take on the Man of Steel. Instead of a brand new Supes, Mr. Singer has decided to make a "sequel" of some sorts, and I have to say the coolest thing about Superman Returns is its nostalgia of tying back to the effective 1978 movie.


Brandon Routh has an amazing resemblance to Christopher Reeve (especially as Clark Kent), and does a decent job in his big screen debut. The scene that blew me away was the "sunset" fly-by at the end which was a perfect homage to Christopher Reeves - the EXACT same angle, same shot and same smile on Supes... Awesome.

The only challenge was getting movie tickets - from CineLeisure to GSC and finally as expected we ended up at good old 1U TGV. Old, cheap and available (RM9). A nice cap to a weekend. Long live Superman.
