First Thoughts: Superman Returns

I saw Superman Returns on Tuesday night (27th) at the 10 PM showing. I am still processing it. I will go ahead and say that I really like the film. It's probably one of the best that I've seen.

I am going to see it at the IMAX theater at World Golf Village this Saturday and will post a full recap after that. Call me crazy, but I always like movies more after the 2nd viewing.

In the meantime here's a good review (WARNING SPOILERS):

BlueTights Network - Superman Returns!

UPDATE:

Here's a great quote from Focus on the Family's website regarding the parallels between the Man of Steel and the Man of Sorrows:

And while there's value utilizing any tool available to help others see their need for a Savior, it's important that we don't lose the message that what we need saving from is our own sinfulness. The Bible teaches that Jesus came to die the death we deserved because of our rebellion against God. In that message, Superman Returns parts company with Scripture. When Jor-El suggests that humans can be a great people if someone will simply show them the way, he stops short of the truth that by nature humans are a self-serving, self-destructive people who deserve eternal death apart from God. We needed a Savior to die that death for us, to give us the opportunity through Him to spend eternity with the God our sin keeps us from.

That's not the message of Superman Returns. And it doesn't need to be.

It's a great story all on its own.
