My first ever movie to be taken away by was Superman 2 and I have loved the character ever since. So when the teaser advert was released last year with very young superman wearing a makeshift cloak, the boat at sea and the sea gull shot. I got really excited. Really really excited. BUT this just doesn't work. It has all the seeds to be amazing but in the end doesn't deliver. The second half just ends up being a big explosive fight and because it lacks emotion it's a fight for fights sake. The story dropped. The intimacy that began with his struggle with being an outsider in the world dropped. The grainy look of him being a man without a home traveling from town to town dropped. And the result, a blockbuster without the heart, that it promised. I am guessing that it got lost in the editing floor and they decided to go with the big stupid scenes rather than the hearty grainy personal approach. I have given it a 6 cos I love superman and just can't bring myself to give it less. But it deserves less. I am really disappointed.

This is up there with one of the worst movies I have ever seen. And I loved Borat and Bruno. To me it's lazy and completely predictable. With none of the shock elements of his previous movies. I can't tell you how bad this movie was. But what I am amazed is it got 6.7 so far in IMDb which now makes me doubt this site. Overall the core problem is that the subject matter ie dictators just does not offer the same scope nor the opportunity to give you that real scenarios where the main character is causing caos. This to me was Sasha with a bigger budget not knowing or caring of the outcome. Brutal. Every joke was obvious. The accents were terrible. It just like any originality. I sat there with a sense of disbelief about some of the scenes. Really really disappointing. But then the trailer didn't suggest much. Butni thought given it was Sasha that it would be great. Brutal
