One of the big complaints about Superman Returns was that there just wasnt enough action. Now personally for me, I dont mind that provided there was a good story to fall back on. I don’t think there is anything wrong with some mindless violence to feed my inner adrenaline urges, but if you are not going to do that, then you need a good story. I think Superman Returns fallowed through on that. But a lot of people disagree.
So for those vocal masses who have complained about the lack of Superman kicking some ass, MovieWeb quoted a Routh interview:
“Bryan [Singer] said at Comic-Con they were going to add some more fighting elements and stuff like that,” said Routh. “That might be kind of interesting to throw some punches or throw something, I don’t know, a little more active.”
Routh is going to have to hit the gym again to get back into fighting shape, but not just yet. “I think I’ve got a while. We probably won’t start for another at least six months. They’ve got to get things written so I’m still in the gym. I still work out a little bit but certainly not as much as I had been.”
Now since Superman isnt a ninja or martial arts master, he doesnt need to do much to “fight”. He doesnt have a lot of reason to learn to block considering the surface of his eye can stop a bullet. I dont see any need for him to get in better shape, but it would fit the Superman Image to be a big bigger. Not a big deal though.
More action would be cool. Again, I didnt hate the story driven Superman Returns, but to see some action woudlnt be a bad idea.
