Review of Superman Returns (2006) by Captainspaulding — 04 Jul 2006
A good summer weekend thrillride. I enjoyed this movie greatly. I really dug Jimmy Olsen, Frank Langella as Perry White and Brandon Routh did a great job as Superman (although I still consider him too young for the part and much to "Superboyish" to be the "man" of steel).
His voice is very, very Chris Reeve like and I thought he did a pretty good job. The icing on the cake however was Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor...Yowzah! He gets the Metropolis baddie down pat and I think is the best Luthor.
..period. What a great choice for the part! He dominated this film IMO. The let down...Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane. Just ain't happening gang. Also, the whole thing with the "kid"...unneeded and merely a plot twist used by the diretor.
All in all a solid 7.
