Superman Returns (2006)

Who’s in it

Brandon Routh, Kevin Spacey, Parker Posey, James Marsden, Frank Langella, Kate Bosworth

Should you see this movie?

Yes. If you liked the older movies, then you may not like this, but I think this is a much more modern version of Superman, closer to how he should be, using today’s technology to make him happen. It is violent, it’s engaging, and it’s a story that really shows how alienated Superman feels in a human society. These are my gripes, however. Bosworth, worst casting ever possible as Lois Lane. Too young, terrible acting, completely unbelieveable. That is it. I will comment that I watched all of the old movies before I saw this one. I thought that Christopher Reeve played a better Clark Kent, and Brandon Routh, although a little young, played a tremendous Superman. But the flying scenes, the plot, the idea behind the whole movie was very awesome and I hope that it kicks off a whole series of successful movies directed by Bryan Singer. He is a great director, a true artist whole is dedicated to what he does and I am really glad he took over the project. See it and figure out what you think, but like Batman, it helps erase the late movies that left such a bad taste in people’s mouths.
