Superman Returns

Tabi says: 3 stars

This one started out slow for me, but got better. I liked it better the second time I watched it. Kevin Spacey as Lex Luther was great. He pulled off the insane villain part so well. I liked that it had a lot of the feel of the old Superman.

I personally have a hard time with the woman in love with two men scenario. I always have. It just seems wrong to me. I guess, I think that if a woman truly loves a man she gives him all her love. I'm not sure it ended how I think it should. It's a hard choice. The illegitimate child was hard for me to digest also. I want Superman to be a "hero" and not so "human."

I thought this one was a cute kids' movie. The villains are cheesy, but great for children.

Ghost Rider

It was better than I thought it was going to be. I expected more of a fight against crime, but it was more of a fight against evil. Pretty creepy evil actually. It was fun, but not a favorite.

I Am Legend

I thought Will Smith was great...big surprise, eh? It was suspenseful and rather frightening. I'm sure Will loved watching it with me because I definitely sat close due to fright. It was cool to see New York City all over-grown.

The ending didn't quite do it for me. It was a little predictable; without giving anything away, you knew from the start that certain aspects would be important. It was like the meaning was added afterward and wasn't as cohesive as it should have been.

To me this movie was similar to Signs...but Signs was better. Signs was more inspiring...this one wanted to be inspiring.

Oh, don't forget to check out the alternate ending. We heard about it afterward. But...only check out the alternate ending some of the other special features are disturbing. (Weird short story animation-like things, disturbing.)
