Comic Relief

Yeah! I will be watching Superman Returns on Monday...and it's on 3-D!! Yup, I will be watching it at the IMAX theatre instead of the usual cinemas. Singapore cinema rates are slowly increasing their prices which caused a strain in my pocket. The price of a cinema ticket when you watch on weekend is almost equivalent to watching in the IMAX theatre during the weekdays. Let say you want to watch the movie on weekends at Cathay, you have to queue up very long due to crowds and have to pay $9.50. If you want to book the tickets online, you have to pay an additional $1 or $2 for service charge. Instead, why don't you watch the movie during the weekdays instead at IMAX? You only need to pay $12 and can experience the wonders magic of 3-D...

Seriously, I hope that Superman Returns live up to its hype. The last Superman movie was in 1987, nearly 20 years. I only watched Superman I and II. The last comic movie which I watched has disappointed me greatly. X-Men: The Last Stand was a sorely disappointment compared to its predecessors. I mean, what's up with killing the main characters when they don't contribute to the main plot? The storyline was good but the plot development sucks big time...why feature so many mutants when they don’t even use their powers to fight? Instead, they use their fists and punchs...lol Also, what's up with the cheesy one liners? The movie lacked character development and emotions. The movie didn't explain why some mutants choose the cure. Some of the main characters are sidelined and forgotten. Even Jean Grey aka Dark Phoenix is quite disappointing – not her powers but her storyline development...

Anyway, this is my first time watching a movie on IMAX theatre. I actually wanted to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on IMAX but they released it later than on normal cinema theatres...I will post a review of it (hopefully it's good review) once I watched it on Mon...
