Superman Returns (blu-ray) To my surprise, I had time to work my way
through 1 more.  Unfortunately it was this 2006 reboot that just misses
the mark.  I'm not even going to get into the so many things that are
wrong with this movie.  Way too much to list!  But it did at least reuse
the John Williams score and that was at least nice.

I saw this movie in IMAX with the few minutes of converted 3D, which
seemed pretty pointless.

Instead of "You will believe a man can fly!" it's "You will be hit on
the head repeatedly with religious imagery for Superman is the Messiah."

That movie wasted enough of my life at the time and I've never wanted to
revisit it. I want it transferred to nitrate film stock.
