Superman the Mushy Movie

I fell asleep. Yup, I fell asleep between the time that Lex Luthor stole the crystals Superman’s father left him and that part when Superman was saving the plane Lois Lane was in. I bought a Php 160 ticket at Gateway Cinema expecting a couple of hours packed with action movie, and what do I get? A mushy love story that’s so old-fashioned it makes one shudder.

Boy and girl fall in love, they have sex, boy suddenly disappears, girl finds out she’s pregnant, she has the baby and keeps the father’s identity a secret, girl meets another boy, first boy comes back and makes ‘paramdam’, girl gets confused about whom she really loves even though the first boy is not making any decisive moves either so as to give her a choice…

If this was a real life situation, I can hear Greg Behrendt, former Sex and the City writer and bestselling author, saying, “He’s just not that into you.”

End of story. But alas, we know that another one’s coming.

I fervently hope that it’s at least three quarters action scenes that are choreographed really well instead of just brute strength moves, such as bringing a crashing plane gently down on a baseball field, or lifting a whole island and hurtling it into outer space.

More creative action scenes please, and less, much less mush.
