Review: Superman and Superman II

So…was over at Eric’s on Friday night (which was excellent…had some great dinner prepared by Annie, had a few beers, power went out, jammed in front of the fireplace for three hours…essentially, an excellent night) and he lent me the first season of Smallville and I mentioned that I had never seen the Superman movies.

Yes, yes – I have never seen the Superman movies. I don’t know why…I just haven’t.

Anyhow, other than hearing that they are very cheesy, I must admit that I enjoy the first two. Duncan was talking about how they are essentially one giant movie split into two parts. I liked how they show the wit of Lex Luthor (aka, having Superman save the day in two places at the same time…how can he do that?!) and having Supes kick some Kryptonian ass in the form of Zod and his cronies. Two thumbs up for the movies…I will check out Part 3 and 4 this week, however Eric really warns me that Part 3 is pretty lame.

Then I’ll check out Smallville which I’m pretty excited for. I remember watching Lois and Clark when I was younger and it was great. The chronology may be screwed up between all the TV series and the movies, but who cares? Heck, chronology is always messed up in the comics.
