Metaplanar Babel

So, we’re agreed that Bryan Singer is a cinematic genius, right? At least, he does amazing work with comic book material. Jon and I went to see Superman Returns last night, and it was fabulous. It’s possible that my opinion doesn’t really say much, since I’ve never seen any of the other movies (I know, I’m not American, blah blah), but I really enjoyed SR anyway. The movie was pretty accessible to people who hadn’t seen the others, though I feel certain that I missed out on a lot of nuances in my ignorance. Brandon Routh was great (and gorgeous!), and Kevin Spacey was rather creepy in Lex Luther’s madness. I was able to really get into the movie and feel the tension, something I can’t usually say. I’m not usually the type to be on the edge of my seat, but for Superman, I guess I was. Fantastic movie.
