Superman Returns
Superman--born on a planet which has long since died--has been raised by adoptive parents on the Kent farm in Kansas. The young boy Kal-El is renamed Clark Kent, and though he has grown up among humans, he is not one of them
Wow. That is a great word to sum up this movie. Honestly if I didn't know people couldn't fly I would have thought Brandon Routh as Superman was flying. It was that well done. Other times I had to look twice to remember that this wasn't Christopher Reeves as Brandon was so much like him. Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor was inspired. His previous stint as a bald bad guy in se7en was incredible and apparently the director remembered that. This is another Superman movie like Batman Begins was another Batman movie. It's like the franchises were killed with so many bad sequels and then someone who truly loved the heroes took the reins and made something memorable.
What you'd expect from a Superhero movie in the way of violence and language can be found here. Nothing unexpected.
Bryan Singer, the director of this film and the first two Xmen films, has consistently gone above and beyond in his directing of superhero films. I was never bored in this movie, never wished it was shorter and loved every minute of it. While this movie isn't perfect as it does drag a bit but not in that noticable of a way, it is pretty darn close. If every summer blockbuster was like this I'd never miss one.
4.9 out of 5
