Review of Superman Returns (2006) by Clipstate — 14 Nov 2016
Superman Returns appears to play it safe and thus plays out much like its predecessors. Its the same old material played out with a different cast and yet still feels like its stuck in the past. Some people wanted to see this, and some didn't.
The background, scenery and effects are well created but lack the wow factor we expect with more recent entries. Its yet another devious, 80s-esque plot that happens to be reminiscent of the stereotypical supervillain only with diminishing returns.
Most of the action is also composed of Superman lifting things. Like a lot of things. We see little in the form of combat with Superman although it probably isn't exceedingly nessecary as evident by the 2013 Reboot's supposed overuse of it.
Much of Superman Returns would feel slow for the modern audience but can kick in a bit of nostalgia for the rest.
