7/08: The worst part about cough syrup is the grogginess afterwards.

That's how I felt with Superman Returns. For 154 minutes, I kept falling asleep as I struggled to understand why it had to be so goddamn long. At the first hour mark, I stopped, so I could clean the fish tank, vacuum the house, and run some errands. After feeling energized, I started the film again only to be immediately put to sleep.

From start to finish, I have no idea what the movie is about. There's no plot to speak of. The old Superman films may have been dated, but the special effects were far better than this garbage. Dark and messy, I can hardly see the sun. Um, this isn't supposed to be Batman.

All in all, I wish the Superman franchise would die already.
