Superman Rottens!

You guys better get used to this. Me posting reviews on movies I've seen are an intrinsic part of this blog so don't try to avoid it.

Superman sucks big time. The only good thing in the movie is Superman himself. Brandon Routh is a good Superman and does his job. Unfortunately, the movie as such is a laundry list of disappointments. Kevin Spacey is a BAD choice for Lex Luthor. Luthor is supposed to be a tall, dignified character and Spacey brings his own brand of humour that doesn't gel with the character.

Here's the list so you don't have to watch the movie and can save the money to treat me later for saving it for you.

1. Kevin Spacey is hopeless as Luthor.
2. Script stinks. Nuff said.
3. Same special effects over and over. Ok, we've seen the world shake. Get on with it already.

The movie is as rotten as the tomatoes grown by an ageing, paraplegic horticulturist in his backyard. Luthor's plan takes shape only in the second half. Special effects are boring. Apart from the bullet in the eye there's nothing else that makes you go WHOA! Oh wait, there is. Luthor's ultra corny jokes make you catch your abdomen in pain and puke popcorn all over the person in front of you. They're the standard staring-at-the-dumbass-henchmen jokes.

In fact, the producers realized that the movie was lacking in so many departments, they decided to add 'star power' to the movie. So we have Kumar, of Harold and Kumar non-fame, to play a useless henchman. It's really lame when he has no real role to play, and instead just stands there getting Spacey's patented stare. Spacey, by the way, is completely bald and for some reason, wears a wig when he is about to commit a crime. How he knows where Super's hideout is and how to use the computer is never explained!!

Watch Krrish instead. Atleast it has all the bollywood masala that can keep you engaged for a while. Oh no, wait, there's Priyanka Chopra in it.....

My new rating system for movies and anything I deem needs to be rated will be asses. Under this rating system. Superman recieves 5 asses out of a possible 5 for being so inexplicable horrendous.

Since, this system has come just after Krrish, I am placing it's rating here too.

It goes without saying that the less asses a film receives, the better it is. A hit film is therefore assless and a monumental disaster would be an assfest. Watch out for more reviews....
