...Was it worse than the flat, non-theatrical, non-cinematic "Planet of the Apes" remake?
I'd say it wasn't.
The POTA remake was pretty bad although I did like Helen Bohnam Carter as "Ari." But, I always like her characters, it seems. I didn't mind Tim Roth's character, Thade, too much even though the character was way over the top. I just hated the story and the finale... Blech.. The token Heston scene could have gone a bit better. I would like to have seen him as a human. But, that would probably have been too distracting for the audience and too far over the top. He would have stolen any scene just by his presence and caused too much of a sensation. (Like Connery did in Costner's Robin Hood.)
But, the last Superman movie "Superman Returns" wasn't too bad IMO. I was expecting far worse, to be honest. I think they kept to the original Superman: The Movie "flavor" for Superman Returns. But, I also think there were lost opportunities and a bit of story I didn't like, IIRC. In short, I think it's worth the watch as long as you don't have to pay too much for it. I wouldn't class it as a "Really Sucked", but I wouldn't class it as a "Win" either. It's "OK."
