Welcome to Thursday Movie Picks, a weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves where each Thursday you have to pick three films to match the week's topic.
This week's topic is immortals, and after thinking a lot about the films to pick, I decided to go theme within a theme, with 3 Superman flicks.
Superman II (1980)
General Zod and some other Kryptonians descent upon Earth to conquer it, and it's up to Superman to save the world. This is easily the best film about Superman ever made. It does have a strong plot, an interesting moral dilemma that Superman has to face, great action, and a simply terrific Terence Stamp as General Zod.
Superman III (1983)
This time around, Superman takes on a megalomaniacal businessman who is using a dopey hacker to help him take the world. This movie is silly, completely ridiculous and insults the viewer as well. Why did I pick it? Superman gets drunk in public, he loses his temper, and fights in a Fight Club-esque manner with Clark Kent. How is that possible? The villain makes synthetic kryptonite that eventually splits the Man of Steel in two, one good, one evil, and it's so much fun to watch.
Superman Returns (2006)
After a long period in the space, Superman returns to Earth and once again must save it from Lex Luthor who wants to create a new land and submerge the United States. This one has so many plot holes if it was the States, Lex wouldn't have needed to submerge the land at all. It would have sinked by its own. The only characters developed are those of Superman and Lois Lane. But the score is great, so is the action, and the action. To be honest though, I picked this for Kevin Spacey.
