With Superman Returns, Hollywood seems to have finally got its superhero act together. Directed by Bryan Singer, the film not only continues the tradition of Batman and Spiderman, but takes the genre to a whole new level.

Long accused of being the most boring of all superheroes - too square and not internalising enough - Superman now returns to explain that a hero's job is never done, that the world never stops whistling for a saviour.

Here is a superhero with incredible powers but even he cannot be with the one person he loves. He is a saviour of humanity but is actually an alien.

Singer, who had walked away from the highly popular X-Men series, has justified his move with Superman Returns. He has brought in just the right amount of pulsating action with a sprinkling of emotional scenes evocative of a superhero's aching loneliness.

The movie begins with Superman (Brandon Routh) returning to earth after five years of trying to find out what happened to his people. He returns to find his love Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) living with another man (James Marsden) while raising his son.

Steeped in melancholy, Superman also has to fight his arch nemesis Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) who has hatched a plan to create a whole new continent.

In one of the best action sequences in a movie adaptation of a comic book hero, Superman manages to grab hold of a plane in flames and even lands it ever so elegantly in the middle of a baseball pitch.

But the loveliest moment of the film that also exemplifies the inner conflicts of the characters is when Lois meets Superman on a terrace, slips off her shoes and steps on his toes for takeoff.

Spacey plays a deliciously malicious villain oozing evil charm while Routh and Bosworth secure their Hollywood future. Eva Marie Saint as Clark's mother puts in a fine supporting performance as do Marsden and Parker Posey, who plays Luthor's girlfriend with a conscience.

This mirror to Superman's inner ruminations is sure to bring in super-returns at the box office.

Answer 2

It was alright. I mean it was good. But not as good for all of the hype it created. I mean the visuals were great. But I think that the story could have been better. The best thing I liked about it was the way that Kevin Spacey played Lex Luther. I think he did an excellent job.

Answer 3

It was just an okay movie to me. The little twists they put in the movie was actually not that hard to guess and kind of predictable. I just thought that it had a very simple plot and some action, but it wasn't all that exciting.

Answer 4

i thought it was good. not the best but truly worth your time. i didnt realize 2 hours and 40 mins had gone by. it was enjoyable if you just wanna watch a good action film. the acting was good, especially kevin spacey. and brandon routh plays clark kent/superman well. and hes such a hottie too! parker posey is funny in the film. i love kate bosworth, esp in blue crush, but in my opinion, she didnt fit the character of lois lane, she seems too girly and fragile/vulnerable. but overall i would recommend the movie.

Answer 5

I have not seen it yet, but the technician who was drawing my blood the other day told me the original Jimmy Olson & Lois Lane had bit parts in the movie- ( he loved it ) which he did not know until the film ended .

Answer 6

I fell asleep in the first ten minutes of the movie because it was so boring to me.There's not as much action as I would have thought,but it was alright to me.You might hate or love it.I thought it was just okay.

Answer 7

who really cares? superman is the lamest excuse for a super hero out there.

Answer 8

It was good but I think it needed more of a love story to it.

There is gonna be a part 2 though.

Answer 9

I haven't seen it, even though i got {four} free tickets to see it. The remake will NEVER be like the original. and the guy acting, will never fill Christopher Reeve's shoes.

Answer 10

My 9 yr old enjoyed it but we found it pretty boring.
