I absolutely loved this movie. In fact, regardless of what other critics may say, I think so far, of the movies I&#8217;ve watched this topped my list of &#8220;most enjoyable&#8221; movies of the first half of 2006.<\/p>\n<p>The way the battle scenes were kinda over-the-top was absolutely brilliant for that type of film. It was like watching a cartoon. Which isn&#8217;t surprising since it was a Disney story. But nonetheless, it was so much fun to watch.<\/p>\n<p>The effects of course were great. I didn&#8217;t really pay much attention to effects nowadays since as long as what I see seems believable, then I really don&#8217;t give a rat&#8217;s ass how much effort they put into pulling it off. As one of the effects people of the Lord of the Rings said: <em>&#8220;the goal is to not let people think you were using computers, etc.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The story was interesting enough, and the ending was superb! Seldom have I experienced an excited &#8220;whoa&#8221; moment when watching an ending. And the clever part is, while it does leave you wanting to see the third installment, it still actually <em>finishes<\/em> the current movie.<\/p>\n<!--more-->\n<p>I dare say, I liked this movie better than <em>Superman.<\/em> I must say however that I only appreciated the latest Superman movie <em>after<\/em> Katz explained to me why it was great: apparently, it was the closest to the comic books, and a lot of the imagery used were taken directly from the comics.<\/p>\n<p>While I can see how Superman fans would love that, as a viewer who didn&#8217;t really follow the Superman saga closely, I have to say I&#8217;d hoped that the movie would be far more interesting. I&#8217;m almost inclined to think that the <strong>major<\/strong> reason why the fans loved it was because of relating it to the comic-book &#8211; and not so much because the story of <em>Superman Returns<\/em> was actually <em>compelling.<\/em> I could be wrong&#8230; but I will say this: a friend who loved the Superman Movie still liked the new <em>Pirates<\/em> better \ud83d\ude42 That should count for something.<\/p>\n<p>Though if it&#8217;s <em>pirates<\/em> you&#8217;re talking about&#8230; I still vote for this:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<a rel=\"lightbox\" href=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/59\/188570831_423727beac_o.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"You may click on the image for more details\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/59\/188570831_423727beac_m.jpg\"><\/a>\n<br>\n<h2>HAHAHAHAHA<\/h2>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you haven&#8217;t seen this movie&#8230; I suggest you get your asses of your computer monitors and watch it.
