that the age of super is over.
****SPOILERS+++++
if you thought "super"man dying in superman returns was lame, embarrassing, puke-provoking and just plain stupid, then don't bother with this chunk of crap. it's actually not even a piece, it's more like a dribble stain on the back of a scabby dog's leg.
in typically American fashion, it has reduced the web-wielding wonder to a super hero who needs crane operators to help him save the day. yeah, crane operators. crane operators. crane half-a-brain operators who work five bucks an hour, go home and beat the wife and kids on holidays. those people - sorry if you or any of your relatives are one of them. but anyway, how super is that? not very super at all. in fact, it made the Toby MacGyver films look like they deserved Palme Dors. what is it with American film makers trying to make super heroes not so super after all? they invented them in the first place. why don't they like them any more? actually, i believe it's more a political thing, in line with that idiot Obama's theory that everyone is the same. well i'm sorry, but they're not. you can't fix stupid. it's unfix-able.
this was even worse than Thor, which i thought was one of the worst films ever - doubly so since Kenneth Brannigan directed it. or maybe because of...i'm not sure. but it was immensely crap. no doubt stupid people will love this version of spider-man. but who cares what they think?
