I saw "Superman Returns" tonight, and I'm working on my review. I have plenty to say! If you want a preview, check out an interview I did with Forbes magazine online. I'll tell you this now: the original was still better. Chris Reeve, John Williams... man. I could have done without the whole Lois-Lane-talking-instead-of-singing-while-flying-over-Metropolis bit (and really, did we want to hear Margot Kidder sing anyway?), but it is still my favorite comic book movie. And yes, I saw Spiderman, and no, it cannot hold a candle to the original Superman movie. If you disagree, then feel free to comment. But, alas, you'll still be wrong.
