Superman

Watched Superman Returns again this week.

This film makes a good trilogy with Superman and S2, as it directly follows on from those two, albeit with a five year gap. It's like S3 and S4 never happened - which to be fair they shouldn't have.

Remember the start of Supergirl when the radio tells us that Superman has gone on a mission to a far away galaxy - that's the mission to Krypton.

We all know that pointless sequels are never as good as the first film - Grease 2 and Sister Act 2 being obvious examples. But when the second film is part of a trilogy it is always as good. In some cases it can even be better. It's accepted that S2 is better than The Movie, just as Empire Stries Back is better than New Hope.

Frustrating how he always falls for Lex's Kryptonite traps in these things. Flies in, there, Lex holding a lead box, what's in the box, oh dear it's Kryptonite, didn't see that coming. Reminds me of BA in the A Team. I ain't going on no plane. Eat this sandwich. Passes out. Wakes up. How did I get here? And he falls for it every week. It's the same with Superman and the Kryptonite.
Didn't he scan ahead and notice that huge new crystal continent had kryptonite? Didn't he feel it as he approached?

Kate Bosworth was quite good as Lois, very Teri Hatcher. I never really liked Margot Kidder. She was feisty enough, but she isn't beautiful and not sexy. Lois Lane is supposed to be sexy and sassy. I always said Alyssa Milano would have made a good Lois.
