I've never read the comic books that most films seem to be based on
However, I have no issue at all with watching the films. Sometimes you just need a basic no-frills superhero film to watch and not have to think about it. Exceptions to this were: The Avengers (Uma Thurman one) which was "fucking shit" and Superman (the new version)

The Avengers was a terrible, terrible film.

I also got my only speeding ticket on the way back from it
This adds to its slurry

Superman Returns has about 5-10 minutes of it that are worth watching
The rest is just dire.

I must have missed those 10 mins

FUCK ALL HAPPENS IN THE ENTIRE FILM

The bit at the start where Lois Lane gets thrown around the plane.
Worth a LOL, if nothing else.

It's too concerned with being a love letter to the first two films.
Instead of just being its own film.

This is probably why I liked it so much the first time I watched it.
I love the first two films. I've since recognised how poor Superman Returns is in reality. The best part was hearing the Superman theme booming out over the opening credits in the cinema.

I have to agree.

Could you honestly say it's worse than Batman and Robin, though?
Or Superman IV, a film so ineptly executed that it makes you want to chew your own knuckles off?

I've never seen Superman IV
And Batman and Robin is far worse, yes.

When I saw Batman & Robin in the cinema there was a power cut about 20 minutes before the end of the film
It's testament to my completionist attitude that I stuck around to watch the ending rather than walk out and do something less boring instead.

I've never walked out of a cinema during a film, not to return
Considered it a few times though.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 9 Nov 2011, 10:18, Reply)

I certainly considered it during the Avengers.
But I kept thinking "this has to get better, surely?" It didn't.

You have to see Superman IV at least once just to appreciate how much a masterpiece Superman III is by comparison.
