Superman Returns (2006)
Not too Shabby
When I saw the rating on this movie I was kind of disappointed. I think people are just too caught up in the original Superman movies that they don't like to give new installments a chance. I've been a fan of both the Superman movies and the show Smallville for a while. Yes a lot of it doesn't match up continuity wise, but it's just different versions of the same story.
In their own right I thought all the actors did a great job. I especially liked Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor. The movie had a good plot as well. The story really worked and I thought this movie stayed true to the Superman story. Brian Singer is a better director then he gets credit for. Overall, I believe there are very few movies that deserve a complete 10. This one, however, deserves something better then a 6.9.
Time Runner (1993)
Not prefect, but not horrific
Considering past comments I expected this movie to be terrible, but I'm a huge Mark Hamill fan, so I just couldn't resist. Now, first looking at the box I was a little skeptical, but I found myself actually getting into it. I actually really liked it, but I think I know a few way where it could have been better. For one they should have explained the aliens a little more. Important things about them weren't reveled until halfway through the movie, and even after that we still don't know why they invaded earth. Not to mention for about the first 15-20 minutes you feel a little rushed in, they took it to fast. Not until about the middle of the movie did you actually feel comfortable. They also should have made it PG-13, it hits a wider audience and they wouldn't have lost that much anyway. Also, people just kept popping up out of nowhere to save him, half the time you were like "How did they even know he was there?!". And as for the acting, well I only thought Mark did good. All the other characters were too cartoonish and it effected the movie in a bad way. But what I was mostly expecting out of this movie was bad special effects, and I actually wrong about that. They were actually good, considering the time period. Most people would say it was bad, but that's only because they live in a time where special effects have really gone far, just look at LOTR, Star Wars, or Fantastic 4. So... all in all I gave the movie a 7 out of 10. Probably its best rating yet.
