Ok little Jackhammers of the world, I know it’s a little late but I am about to give my movie review of the recently released “Superman Returns”.
First let’s start with the fact that is has been 19 years since last we’ve seen the Man of Steel on the big screen and 28 years since the original. It has been many comic book geeks and fan boys wet dream to see the character of Superman and his alter ego, Clark Kent back on the silver screen. And Jackhammer is not one to lie, I may have been of those geeks that wet themselves (mind you, a geek who benches 350 pounds in his sleep, bring it BITCH!) when news it the internet that the movie had a script and X-men director Bryan Singer behind the steering wheel of the world greatest super hero’s comeback.
The movie takes place 5 years after the second Superman of the early 1980’s, now you may be asking yourself two questions…Jackhammer, weren’t there 4 Superman movie in the 80’s??? And if so, why didn’t they continue from Superman 4??? Well yes, there were 4 movies but the last 2 were in all words were…..CRAP!!! You know it and I know it. Enough said about that…So as I mention it takes part 5 year after Superman 2 and the movies deals more on how Superman copes with how the world he once knew has changed and moved on without him.
Now that’s as far as I am going to go into the movie cause I’m sure you’ve either seen the movie, read the reviews or some fan boy in your office with a hard-on and a blue towel around their neck, spoiled the whole movie by reacting every scene for you…cause he or she, who am I kidding…HE, has seen the movie 20 times already since last Weds and 18 of those times in 3-D IMAX.
Let me just say that “Superman Returns” is a good movie, if I even dare say it’s just as good if not better then the 1978 “Superman” movie. The cast and Bryan Singer do such a good job from start to finish. Keep it mind there may not be much good guy versus bad guy in this movie, just remember Bryan Singer needed to lay the foundation for the future direction of Superman and the Superman franchise. And I only see good things to come from the newly revived Superman franchise. All I can say is go in head first with no expectations about the movie and you will leave a happy movie goer…
Jackhammer gives “Superman Returns” 3 ½ out of 4 Chair hits to the head!!!!

JACKHAMMER OUUUUT!!!
