Don't get me going William! Underneath its painting by numbers I
was seeing a highly unlikely cloying social message about
families. But never mind, the main thing was its straining
unlikelihoods. Superman was far more honest and likely in my
estimation.
The best line in it? A rather nice sort of understatement! It was
when Ford said, towards the end, in answer to a question about
what he was doing, "I am looking for my dog". He was too!
I realise this following bit is going to be strictly OT but If
you want a film that is a rollicking good natured tale with no
'great underlying meaning', I recommend Master and Commander.
(Hey Boji, Officer White is sure in charge of this one).
