I've always loved superman, wanted to be him, to fly, to have super strength etc,. But for some reason I wasn't really looking forward to seeing this movie, i dunno why, OK maybe it was the previews, they weren't that spectacular to me. But i felt it was my duty to honor the latest installment since I was such a huge fan. To make a long story short Brian Singer has once again reduced super heroes to total wimps. Just plain wimpy. Just like he did to the first 2 Xmen movies, there were all pussies except for magneto. storm was a wimp she barely did anything, rogue, cyclops, the professor, shooot all the Xmen were pathetic when it came to using their powers. X3 may have been terrible but at least my muties were powerful and I have to say Brett has balls . Back to Superman Returns, Really awful move, way to long, I kept looking at my watch. Way too much drama with bits of action in between. there's cool action sequences here and their but it was pretty much boring and I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.

If your like me and never really cared for the so called subtleties and drama of X1 and X2, your gonna love this movies. Don't get me wrong I loved X1 and X2 but not because they were such 'great' movies as many of you claim and certainly not because Singer is such a 'fantastic' director, but because my favorite characters of all time were brought to life. I've seen X1 and X2 a thousand times and I never get tired of it, you know why? Because I love to see my characters, Magneto, Storm, Jean, Icy etc. Despite my unconditional love for these awesome characters, one thing more than anything else annoyed the hell out of me. They were all so damned Weak!, except for magneto. and even wolverine gets his ass kicked so bad. And rogue...?! She might as well be cured because she was introduced as a useless character to begin with. Why the hell is she necessary if she is not the real Rogue with Ms Marvel's powers. As you all know the X-men universe are about Powers not incessant posturing that the previous 2 were about. I wanted to see my X-Men unleashed. Even in X2 when Jean was suppose to show what the phoenix was about Singer held her back. She couldn't even even stop a little missile form hitting the XJet. Well I say HORAAAY! for Ratner because he did them justice. Now I know how my X-Men were meant to exist. Not only are they powerful but now they have a purpose. And even the trailers and TV Spots have more action than X1 and X2 put together........just wait till you see it!!! Its so amazing I couldn't even contain my excitement in the Theatre The only thing I don't really like about this movie is that fact that the feel the need to dispose of certain characters in order to achieve strong emotions. I'm sure they could have come up another way to make the movie more poignant. So in closing...Yes the movie feels rushed, Yes it is short, Yes the story could have been better, Yes some characters could have been more detailed but guess what...This is ten times better than X1 and X2. You finally get to see mutants go crazy and doing something than just show and tell. and when the DVD comes out I will be watching it over and over till I get sick of it.

I'm 21 years old, not many of my friends watch star trek, as a matter of fact, I don't know anyone in my age group who watches star trek, too uncool for them. I'm almost ashame to say that voyager was my first love. first because of 7 of 9, she was the sexiest thing i've ever seen.

But just out of curiosity I downloaded "Emissary" and "What you leave behind". I did the same for TNG, I downloaded "Encounter at Farpoint Station" and "All good things." Needless to say, I was most impressed with DS9. It was so real, well written and well acted.I downloaded as much episodes as i could find online. but I could only find about 50. Damn! so...

I had no choice but to get the whole 7 season DVD collection. It was so expensive too. I think it's the most expensive DVD set series out there. Anyway It was a good investment. The episodes were so good. I watch them over and over. each time i see something new in the episodes and I appreciate it more.

A part of me was wishing they would make a movie out of DS9 but after seeing what they did with TNG and nemesis..no way. Leave DS9 as it is. It's a thing of beauty. I only wished more people my age would give it a try. I mean i "loved" janeway,I thought she was great and the episodes were great but after seeing just a few episodes of DS9 i know it's the best and Dax is my girl...both of them. I love Kira too and Sisko(yea yea i know he's not as "charismatic" as picard but you know what, he's firm, direct and real. DS9 Pour Toujours
