Review of Superman Returns (2006) by Stefanb. — 27 Jun 2006
Despite introducing themes such as the ability of mankind to transcend their own pettiness and themselves become supermen, and the selfishness of remaining a god among mortals, the movie quickly devolves into something we've seen before.
Lex Luthor's evil scheme makes almost no sense, and the internal consistancy of such major elements as the way kryptonite affects superman is very questionable. In the end, the film veers away from all of its earlier hints at greatness, and delivers a poorly-timed, drawn out version of exactly what we've seen before in old superman movies.
It's not bad, but it leaves me questioning the reasons for a remake.
