So I saw Superman Returns on Wednesday with my brother and nephew at the IMAX theater in Grand Rapids. Several scenes were in 3D, which makes this probably the first 3D movie I've seen in decades. Actually, I'm not sure if I've ever seen a 3D movie at a theater before...I just remember seeing a couple on TV as a kid. The local TV station distributed/sold the glasses at 7-Eleven or something.
Anyhoo, Superman Returns was good, but I was somewhat underwhelmed by the whole ordeal. In relation to other recent comic book movies, I did not really enjoy it as much as either of the Spider-Man movies, the first two X-Men movies, the first Batman movie, Batman Begins, Sin City, The Punisher, and probably Hellboy (although I haven't seen it yet). Overall, I probably enjoyed the third X-Men movie more than Superman Returns, too. read more
