Review of Superman Returns (2006) by Dana Stevens for Slate — 26 Jun 2006
The film's most striking repeated effect, in which the caped hero dangles dejectedly in space as the Earth turns below him, emphasizes the passivity and loneliness of the character: This Superman's version of flight seems almost indistinguishable from a helpless freefall.
Fair enough, but what's he got to be so existentially glum about?
