Review of Superman Returns (2006) by Antony G — 25 Jul 2014
I originally gave this 2 & a half stars the first time I watched it but after watching it again I found it better than I originally thought. I still have a few gripes with it, the lack of original dialogue for one with lines straight from the very first film & a few continuity problems.
The special effects are outstanding & the new cast of actors are brilliant. Brandon Routh, who bares an uncanny resemblance to Christopher Reeve, plays Clark Kent/Superman. His Clark Kent probably isn't as good as Mr Reeves was but his Superman is much cooler.
Kate Bosworth plays Lois Lane a bit more spikey than the original played by Margot Kidder & Kevin Spacey is a far more convincing Megalomaniac Lex Luthor than Gene Hackman ever was. Changed it back to 2 & half after another viewing.
So many flaws!
