Yes, it is that time. Time for Forever. Honestly, I never liked this film. While the two Burton films I enjoyed as a child (and I even kind of sort of like the first one still), this one bored me to death even when it first came out. I remember pondering whether it must [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jshopa.wordpress.com&blog=3555785&post=327&subd=jshopa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Supergirl? Good lord, what am I doing to myself? A glutton for punishment, it seems.

Well, I&#8217;ll focus as much as possible on the positive, which means that I will occasionally have a positive thing to say, but precious little. The first is this &#8211; the opening credits are pretty damn slick.

So I turned on Batman Returns thinking, yeah, Batman Returns is a decent flick. Not without its share of problems, but if you look at it not as a Batman movie at all but as a Tim Burton film, which is what it is, then it&#8217;s pretty good stuff. So I watched the damn [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jshopa.wordpress.com&blog=3555785&post=203&subd=jshopa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

An accurate title, but perhaps more accurate would have been Superman and all his jokes and lines from the other movies return. A touch unwieldy, maybe. Okay. What didn&#8217;t return was the spirit and the goodness of the character or the charm of the supporting cast or the menace of the villains, or really [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jshopa.wordpress.com&blog=3555785&post=128&subd=jshopa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Oh, lord, Superman III. You know, the second Superman movie (or the theatrical version of it anyway) had its share of problems due to the replacing of Donner with Lester, and so it&#8217;s no surprise that this film, now with no Donner input whatsoever, is a complete disaster. However, I want to say right [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jshopa.wordpress.com&blog=3555785&post=98&subd=jshopa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Superman II (1980)

There are two cuts of the sequel to Richard Donner&#8217;s 1978 Superman film. One of them, as shown in theaters in 1980, was the result of Donner&#8217;s removal from the project due to infighting with the producers, being replaced with noted comedy director Richard Lester (who had done The Beatles&#8217; A Hard Day&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jshopa.wordpress.com&blog=3555785&post=86&subd=jshopa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Richard Donner&#8217;s 1978 Superman is still the best by a long shot, and not only is it the best Superman movie, but possibly the best movie based on a comic book, and the first that both took seriously while thoroughly embracing its comic book origins. In fact, the movie opens with a shot of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jshopa.wordpress.com&blog=3555785&post=79&subd=jshopa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
