Wednesday night I went out to see the movie "Superman" with some students and a few other youth leaders. What a way to take a great movie concept and make it terrible. Here is what I liked, and what I hated:
Likes: - Clark and Jimmy. The actors did a good job portraying them.
- The old guy at the top. Yup, that old guy sure did a good job. I'm being intentionally vague.
- Lois's fiance. Except for the fact that he's living with someone he's not married to, seems like a guy that has his act together and will fly a seaplane into an emerging continent to save the woman he loves.
Dislikes: - Lois living with a dude she's not married to.
- Superman effectively raping Lois by erasing her memory after they "did it," and then wanting to hang around his son in the bedroom. Superman is not supposed to be a pedophile. Or a pedo anything - he flies. No walking or perversion allowed.
- 80's effects. Come on, even Episode II was better than the 80's.
- Superman being a Superdeadbeat dad. Come on. The man of steel shouldn't need to "grow some." Joseph Stalin, the original man of steel, wasn't even a deadbeat dad.
- The really, really bad job they did of showing the urgency of stopping that whole destroying the world thingy-majigger.
What they could have done better:- Had someone else make the stupid movie. God will punish them for making a movie with so many references to Christ that retarded.

Thanks for the review - we talked about going to see it at the drive-in last night, but ended up doing other things. Sorry I didn't get you called back -- I will this afternoon when I finish the shift at work.
