Review of Superman Returns (2006) by Connorfilmfan — 24 Jul 2013
I applaud Bryan Singer for trying to bring the nostalgia and magic from the first two Richard Donner/Chris Reeve films. Sadly, in many respects, Bryan fails. While the film has some interesting concepts, it's unfortunately more of the same old. In many ways, the film blatantly borrows from the first two classics, without trying to add anything new to the series it's continuing. One thing the film does give the audience is a fantastically campy performance delivered by Kevin Spacey who clearly seems to be enjoying himself.
Overall the film asks us Does the world need Superman ?
It doesn't need this film, that's for sure.
