I saw SUPERMAN RETURNS in Imax 3D on Wednesday. I was pretty
disappointed. The film was so grossly overproduced that any sense of
story or character development was totally lost. Kevin Spacey, who
should have had a ball as Lex Luthor, was sleep-walking through his
performance. The actress who played Lois Lane, Kate Bosworth, is about
as appealing in this role as one of those yuppie women on the bus
riding to their jobs at a law office downtown. She made me yearn for an
interesting take on the character, like Margot Kidder, dare I say it?
Overall, a bland film sinking under the Titanic-like weight of its
production values. Indeed disappointing.
On a more upbeat note, I saw THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA last night. Now
that's an incredibly entertaining movie and if Meryl Streep doesn't win
an Oscar for that performance, there's NO JUSTICE!
